# Shhots AI

> Shhots AI is an AI ad and creative platform for ecommerce, advertising, and creative teams. One workspace gives access to video and image models including Veo 3, Kling 3, Seedance 2, ChatGPT Image 2, and Nano Banana Pro, alongside workflows for AI ads, product photography, UGC, image editing, and 4K upscaling. Enterprise teams use Shhots AI as a single contract over multiple AI model APIs.

Shhots AI ships two surfaces under one platform:

1. A self-serve creative studio at [app.shhots.ai](https://app.shhots.ai) with monthly and annual subscription plans from $19/month.
2. An enterprise Model APIs layer at [shhots.ai/model-apis/](https://shhots.ai/model-apis/): AI model access through a single contract, dedicated capacity, private deployments, and a solutions architect.

All outputs ship watermark-free with a full commercial license.

- [Home staging cost in 2026: virtual vs real staging](https://shhots.ai/blog/virtual-staging-cost/): Both sides of the staging cost question. Traditional staging runs $832-$2,917 (average $1,849) and $3,000-$6,000+ for vacant homes, with $300-$700 per room and $100-$700 per room per month in furniture rental that keeps accruing while a listing sits; NAR's 2025 Profile of Home Staging puts the median at $1,500 through a service and $500 when the agent stages it. Virtual staging runs ~$0.45/image (Shhots AI) to $16-$75/image through a managed service. Includes a named-tool price table verified August 2026, hidden fees (revisions, rush, minimum orders, per-room versus per-image), a real-versus-virtual comparison table, room-level staging rates against NAR's data on which rooms buyers actually care about, and the honest caveat that NAR's price-lift figures are agent survey perception rather than measured lift.

Virtual staging is legal everywhere in the US; disclosure is required almost everywhere. Includes a per-MLS requirements table (CRMLS, San Diego MLS, Bright, Stellar, MRED, NorthstarMLS, ARMLS, Canopy, label wording, placement, original-photo requirements, fines), a state-law table (California AB 723 / B&P Code 10140.8 in force since Jan 1 2026 requiring conspicuous disclosure plus a link/QR to the original unaltered image; Wisconsin Act 69 effective Jan 1 2027; NY and NJ bills pending), plain-language AB 723 mechanics including its exemption list, NAR Article 12 / SOP 12-10 / Article 2 specifics, Zillow's published portal policy, a safe/conditional/prohibited edit taxonomy, and a reusable disclosure template.

Covers photo caps, yearly-billing pricing caveats, turnaround, watermark policies, and MLS disclosure notes.
- [Real estate advertising guide](https://shhots.ai/blog/real-estate-advertising-guide/): Media buyer's playbook for listing ads in 2026, verified against Meta's own developer documentation. Covers what the Housing Special Ad Category removes (age fixed 18-65+, no gender selection, ZIP and metro-area targeting prohibited, 15-mile minimum radius, all exclusion targeting removed, lookalikes unavailable) and what survives (approved interest list, customer list custom audiences, Advantage+ Audience). Corrects three widespread errors: Special Ad Audiences were removed in October 2022 and never replaced, detailed targeting is only partially removed, and the January 2025 customer-list restriction was cancelled in May 2025. Includes per-listing creative economics (a fully worked listing is about 1,706 credits, roughly $14 on the $49/mo Pro plan, against $500-$2,000 through vendors).
- [Best virtual staging software](https://shhots.ai/blog/best-virtual-staging-software/): Eight virtual staging tools compared with prices verified August 2026: Shhots AI (~$0.45/photo on $49/mo Pro, staging plus correction and listing video on shared credits), StageHQ ($19-$69 one-time packs, credits never expire, MLS-compliant output advertised), REimagineHome (from $14/mo, true monthly billing), Virtual Staging AI (from $16/mo billed yearly, photo-capped), AI HomeDesign (from $19/mo annually, ~$0.49/photo), Collov AI (virtual tours and 360), BoxBrownie ($30/photo human service), Styldod ($16-$23/photo human service). Discloses that Styldod and REimagineHome are the same company, flags which vendors advertise annual rates as monthly, and states plainly that first-hand testing covers Shhots AI only.
- [BoxBrownie alternatives](https://shhots.ai/blog/boxbrownie-alternatives/): Seven alternatives to BoxBrownie's per-image editing service compared with prices verified August 2026: Shhots AI (~$0.45/image on a flat $49/mo plan vs $30/image staging), Styldod ($16-$23/image human service), Virtual Staging AI, REimagineHome, StageHQ, Collov AI, and AI HomeDesign. Includes a worked full-listing cost comparison ($185 at BoxBrownie list prices vs ~$16 of credits), screenshots of every vendor, a demo of the AI walkthrough video BoxBrownie has no equivalent for, the finding that BoxBrownie's services page was running 20% under its own list prices, and the disclosure that Styldod and REimagineHome are the same company.
- [AI avatar tools for real estate walkthroughs](https://shhots.ai/blog/ai-avatar-tools-real-estate-walkthroughs/): Seven AI avatar options compared for listing video, split between general avatar platforms that produce a presenter clip and property-specific tools that assemble the whole walkthrough. Includes an honest read on 2026 avatar quality limits.
- [AI UGC video for real estate](https://shhots.ai/blog/ai-ugc-video-for-real-estate/): Six creator-style video formats that work for property marketing, where AI generation is legitimate (generated delivery over real property visuals) and where it is not (generated interiors, fabricated testimonials), plus a repeatable weekly content plan. Includes a tool comparison for real estate UGC with prices read from each vendor's live pricing page in August 2026 (Shhots AI $49/mo Pro for 6,000 credits, HeyGen $29/mo Creator and $49/mo Pro, Creatify $39/mo Starter and $99/mo Pro), and states plainly that Arcads publishes no pricing page at all rather than repeating a third-party figure. Per-video cost math: a 15-second listing video is 825 credits plus 1 for the script, about $6.74 on Pro, and a full listing package of 20 corrected photos, 6 staged rooms and one video is 2,256 credits, about $18.43.
- [Real estate reels: 10 formats that work in 2026](https://shhots.ai/blog/real-estate-reels-ideas/): Ten short-form video formats ranked by retention against production effort, each with a hook line, target length and per-reel cost (price anchor tour ~$6.74, before-and-after staging ~$0.90, day-to-dusk reveal ~$0.45, narrated walkthrough ~$6.74 at 825 credits, phone-filmed formats free). Grounded in Instagram's own published ranking explanation: the most important prediction is whether a viewer watches the reel all the way through, so completion rate is the target and duration is only the lever; 15-30 seconds and three posts a week is the working benchmark, and Instagram states it prioritises original content over reposts. Flags the widely repeated 3-second rule as practitioner convention rather than a published threshold. Includes five hook patterns, weekly cost math (about $88 a quarter for 39 reels), and a Fair Housing section covering steering language in neighbourhood reels and Meta's Housing Special Ad Category on boosted posts.
- [HDR real estate photography: bracketing vs AI](https://shhots.ai/blog/hdr-real-estate-photography/): Why listing photos need exposure balancing (window vs interior dynamic range), how bracketed HDR (3-5 exposures, tripod, 1-3 hour edit cycle per shoot) and flambient (flash + ambient hand-blend) work, and how single-exposure AI HDR compares at ~$0.45/image in under a minute against $1.10-$2.25 outsourced with 12-48h turnaround. Includes a three-method comparison table (gear, frames, edit time, cost, color fidelity, handheld phone support) and the honest cases where a photographer should still bracket: irreplaceable hero shots, flambient color work, and very large print output.
- [Real estate photo editing outsourcing: 2026 costs and math](https://shhots.ai/blog/real-estate-photo-editing-outsourcing/): Rates verified against each vendor's own published pricing in August 2026: AutoHDR from $0.37/image (20-30 min), Shhots AI ~$0.45 (under a minute), offshore human correction $0.20-$0.50 (24-48h), PhotoUp $1.10-$2.25 credit-based (24h standard), BoxBrownie $2 image enhancement with day to dusk $5, item removal $5-$10 and virtual staging $30 billed separately, rush tiers $1.50-$5.00, high-end retouching $5-$15. Break-even math for a photographer shooting 15 listings a month: 450 photos is about 22.5 hours of editing, roughly $1,200 in shoots not taken, against $167-$900 to outsource. Covers where each option breaks, the revision-rate correction most comparisons omit, a five-file vendor test (backlit interior, high-ISO room, flat-grey exterior, clutter removal, a file you edited yourself), and the hybrid mix most working photographers land on.
