Run the actual math: a photographer charges $150-500 a listing, a manual editing service charges $2-5 a photo, and even DIY editing costs you five to fifteen minutes per image once you count your own time. FrameLifter is $0.75/photo, or $0.20/photo at volume with the 1,000-photo pack — first 5 photos free so you can check the quality before comparing the invoice.
Professional results at budget prices
Per listing, editing included. Requires scheduling around your availability.
$40-100 for a 20-photo listing. You still supply your own photos.
First 5 free, then $0.75/photo — $4 for a 20-photo listing at that rate, less with a credit pack.
Why So Affordable?
Manual editing takes five to fifteen minutes per photo even for someone experienced. That labor time is most of what the $2-5/photo rate covers — our AI collapses it to seconds.
Editing services batch jobs and turn them around in a day or two. There's no queue to wait in when a photo takes seconds to process instead of minutes.
A $150-500 photographer rate covers their drive time, shoot time, and gear. Skip the shoot entirely and edit the phone photos you already have.
The 1,000-photo pack works out to 20 cents a photo — a quarter of the standalone rate — because the cost is compute, and compute gets cheaper at scale.
A cheap price doesn't mean fewer corrections — it means the same corrections, done by AI instead of by the minute.
The same shadow-lifting and highlight-recovery pass a manual editor bills for, done automatically.
Indoor lighting's yellow cast gets corrected the way an editor would in the software you'd have to learn.
Handheld softness and low-light grain get cleaned up without the trial-and-error of manual sharpening.

The math on a 20-photo listing: $150-500 for a photographer, $40-100 for manual editing, $15 with FrameLifter at $0.75/photo, or $4 with the 1,000-photo credit pack.
A photographer at $150-500 per listing already includes editing in that price. A manual editing service at $2-5/photo runs $40-100 for 20 photos. FrameLifter at $0.75/photo runs $15, or $4 if you're paying 20 cents a photo off the 1,000-photo pack.
No catch — the low price comes from automation, not cut corners. There's no manual editor's hourly rate, no studio overhead, and no markup for a 24-48 hour turnaround. You're paying for compute time, not a person's time.
It feels free but isn't. Learning editing software well enough to get consistent results takes real time, and even an experienced editor spends five to fifteen minutes per photo. At any reasonable hourly rate, that time costs more than $0.75 a photo — it's just a cost you don't see on an invoice.
No — it's $0.75/photo whether you upload 3 or 300, and your first 5 are always free. Credit packs only make sense once you're editing enough photos regularly that the per-photo rate drops below $0.75.
$150-500 a listing or $2-5 a photo adds up fast across multiple properties. See what the same edits cost at $0.75/photo first.
