Where each is stronger.
Where HomeGlow is stronger
- It starts from your own room photo and keeps the walls, windows and camera angle, changing the furniture, materials, colour and lighting.
- Twenty task-specific tools sit in one place: whole-room restyle, wall colours, floors, exterior, landscape, declutter, cleanup, lighting and more.
- PRO users can refine a result in plain language, such as "make the sofa emerald velvet".
- Photos are stored privately and are public only if you share a design to the Discover gallery.
- It is aimed at homeowners rather than studios, so the flow is short.
Where Spacely AI is stronger
- Integrations with the CAD and 3D software professionals already use.
- A free plan with trial credits, plus credit top-ups for subscribers.
- Faster queue tiers for volume work.
Where HomeGlow falls short
- HomeGlow is new and small. There is no long track record or large body of independent reviews.
- There is no iPhone app yet (one is in preparation) and no Android app. HomeGlow runs in a web browser and as a Telegram Mini App.
- The free tier is 1 free watermarked generation, and Colorways and refining a result are PRO features.
- It does not link to real products, estimate costs or export CAD or 3D model files.
- HD upscale is available on PRO only, and there is no video.
