I uploaded a living room photo to the web version and selected the “Scandinavian” style. About five seconds later, the new image was ready.
The walls, sofa, rug, artwork, and lighting were all changed, while the positions of the windows and doors, along with the room’s general depth, were mostly preserved. At first glance, it really did feel like the same room had been renovated.
That said, the result should not be treated as a construction reference.
The sofa in the image may look great, but it may not correspond to any real product. The AI also does not know whether the living room is actually 3 meters wide or 4 meters wide. It simply generates a visually plausible space based on the photo.
Some App Store users have also reported cases where the AI changed the room structure itself, with one user saying they would have to “tear down and rebuild the house” to recreate the result. The developer later said related issues had been fixed, but it still shows that generated images can occasionally drift away from real-world constraints.
The free plan is also quite limited. The web version includes only 1 free credit, which is enough for a single generation. That’s fine for checking the output quality, but if you want to test several rooms or multiple styles, you’ll need to buy more credits.
Also, the web, iOS, and Android versions do not always have exactly the same features or pricing. App Store prices may vary by region as well, so it’s worth checking the rules for the version you’re actually using before paying.
RoomGPT works best as a tool for choosing a design direction.
For example, if you’re unsure whether you prefer Scandinavian or industrial style, generating a few versions of each can quickly show which one feels more suitable.
What it cannot solve are furniture dimensions, purchase links, budgeting, or construction planning.
Pros
- Easy to use: Upload a photo and choose a style
- Fast generation: Results usually appear within seconds
- Uses the original space as a reference: More likely to preserve the room layout than pure text-to-image generation
- Pay-as-you-go: No monthly fee or auto-renewal pressure, and credits do not expire
Cons
- Visual reference only: No measurements, construction drawings, or real product information
- Limited preset styles: Only around a dozen, fewer than some competing tools
- Limited payment options: The web version requires a credit card that supports international payments
- Rules vary by platform: Features and pricing differ between the web and app versions

- Anyone who needs a precise construction plan
RoomGPT does not provide accurate dimensions or construction drawings.
- Anyone who wants to buy the exact furniture shown
Most furniture in the generated images is AI-created and does not come with product links.
- Anyone who wants unlimited free use
The free allowance is very small, and continued generation requires paid credits.
