| Fotello is a We Get Around Network Marketing Partner Video: Is Fotello still the best AI editor in 2026 for real estate photography? | 20 January 26 @harman_Walia From Jonathan Corbett's youtube channel. WGAN Promo: Use this link to get the special offer: http://www.wgan.info/fotello Fotello Review 2026: Fastest AI Real Estate Photo Editing + Free Human Revisions + Booking & Delivery (All-in-One) If you’re a real estate photographer (or you run a media team serving agents), your workflow has one enemy:TIME. Agents want photos yesterday. Photographers want consistent edits without spending all night in Lightroom. That’s why Fotello stood out in this 2026 feature review: it’s evolved into a true end-to-end real estate photography platform — not only AI editing. Why Fotello Matters in 2026 (Big Picture) Fotello has grown from “AI photo editor” into a full system where you can: Let agents book you through the platform Upload and process/edit your shoots fast Deliver media (photos, videos, virtual tours, floor plans) Upsell add-ons like listing websites For photographers in competitive markets like Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the SF Bay Area, Phoenix, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago, this kind of speed + workflow can be the difference between being booked out… or being replaced. Fotello Pricing Plans (2026) Fotello offers three main ways to pay, plus a free plan: 1) Yearly Subscription (Best value) Around $12 per listing (approx.) Lowest per-listing cost 2) Monthly Subscription Around $14 per listing (approx.) Good option if you don’t want a big upfront payment 3) Pay-As-You-Go Most expensive per listing Best for occasional users 4) Free Plan (Good for testing + booking/delivery) Edit up to 30 photos per listing, but images include Fotello branding/watermark Booking and delivery tools are free and fully functional (no watermark issue there) Translation: Fotello lets you start at $0, prove the workflow, then upgrade when you’re ready to deliver watermark-free edits. Speed Test: Fotello AI Editing in 5–10 Minutes In the workflow demo, Fotello’s AI editing is described as the fastest on the market: Typical processing: 5–10 minutes Some competitors: up to 30 minutes If you shoot multiple properties a day, this is huge. Think of it like a restaurant kitchen: Slow kitchen = backed up tickets, angry customers Fast kitchen = smooth service, more tables, more money Fotello is the “fast kitchen” for real estate photo delivery. Custom Editing Preferences (So Your Work Still Looks Like YOU) Fotello supports useful controls like: Sky replacement on/off (for exteriors) “Signature style” presets Perspective correction Auto-detect bracketed photos for HDR And after the AI edit, you can still do small tweaks in-platform (crop, minor adjustments, and some add-ons like virtual staging elements). The Killer Feature: Free Human Revision on Paid Plans This is one of the biggest differentiators mentioned: Free human revision of AI edits on paid plans. Meaning: if AI misses something, an expert editor fixes it without extra cost. That’s rare in 2026. It’s a safety net: AI does the heavy lifting Humans correct edge cases You deliver confidently Edit Quality: Color Accuracy Is the Whole Game The review strongly praises Fotello for consistent, accurate color, especially with tricky tones like gray-beige walls. If you’ve done enough real estate shoots, you already know: BAD COLOR = ANGRY AGENT. Even if everything else is “technically fine.” Fotello’s consistency (walls, cabinets, blinds, skies, TVs) is a major reason it stays on top. Add-On Services: AI Twilight + Staging + Listing Websites AI Twilight Conversion About $1 per photo Creates dusk-style images by adjusting sky + lighting Generally accurate without “changing the house” Minor AI weirdness can happen (house numbers, drapes), but it’s optional and convenient Delivery Platform (Photos + More) Fotello supports uploading and delivering: Edited photos Videos Virtual tours Floor plans Upsell: Listing Websites Fotello also offers a listing website upsell with clean, professional designs, featuring: Ken Burns-style hero banner Embedded video Floor plans and other media sections This is a smart way for photographers in markets like Austin, Nashville, Tampa, Denver, Seattle, Portland, and Washington DC to increase average order value. Who Fotello Is Best For Fotello makes the most sense if you want: Speed (5–10 minute edits) Consistency (strong color accuracy) Workflow simplicity (booking → editing → delivery) Upsell options (twilight + listing websites) A safety net (free human revision on paid plans) If you’re trying to scale your business or serve high-volume agents, Fotello is built for that. Try It Yourself (Best Next Step) Here’s the simplest test: Create a free Fotello account Run a real shoot through it Time the edit turnaround Check color accuracy + consistency Decide if yearly/monthly makes sense based on your volume Questions for the WGAN Community Are you currently using AI editing for real estate photos? What matters more to you: speed, color accuracy, or pricing? Would you use free human revision as a safety net, or do you prefer full manual control? |

| Speed and color accuracy are more significant than the price to use Fotello. I just wrapped up three shoots from this weekend that wouldn't have been completed so quickly without Fotello! I've shot about 25 listings with them so far. After some comparative testing last week, I decided to drop shooting flash shots with the 3-bracket sets. The difference in the photos is barely recognizable, I would guess about a 3% difference mainly in the shading and sheen on objects. But in terms of time onsite and then back at home, there is a HUGE difference going without flash. Hours! The quality is stunning! I run the returned photos through Lightroom to lay a preset on them to bump the light and contrast. There are similar tools/sliders built into Fotello, I just haven't spent any time yet seeing if I can get the same look that I like. The pics in Lightroom from Fotello most of the time need only a click of the preset to get them ready to deliver. The time I used to spend aligning and cropping the brackets has been eliminated - busy work, go away! I had a couple of pics come back where sky had replaced parts of a building. I sent in a request last night and the edits were delivered by 11:15 p.m. (time stamp on their notification email). The Pay As You Go plan has two versions, $28 and $30. For two bucks more, the $30 plan provides more photos-per-listing and a couple of no-charge virtual stagings and twilights (I just tried a twilight and it turned out great!). I tried the staging and it works pretty much the way Collav.ai and Virtual Staging AI do, maybe a bit faster at generating sets of three variations. Most listings that need virtual staging are needing more than two rooms staged. But two twilights per listing is definitely a bonus! Fotello changed my speed-to-delivery. I spent months watching YouTube videos from Nathan Cool and many others honing my flambient shooting ability to deliver good window pulls and acceptable color casting on the walls. Fotello has been like a booster rocket to reach the level of quality that I was striving for. Trading $30 per listing for all the benefits Fotello provides is a no-Brainer!!! |

| This is my experience with fotello... If the home has white walls or very neutral colors, it usually works pretty good. Shot a 2.8 million home today and try to use fotello and the colors came back just really really bad. It really really struggles with colors. I sent tons back for re-editing and we'll see what happens. This is an ongoing issue I have with the system. It's so bad that whenever I do have a home with colors, I typically revert back to my human editor for those jobs. Should have done it for this one but thought I would give it a shot again. And the crazy thing is I'm not even shooting with Auto white balance. I'm setting the white balance as it should be and it just keeps turning walls the wrong color. It's almost like it's trying to adjust for auto white balance where it may typically be too warm... I don't know. I've tried with auto and with exact white balance and Fotello is just not great with getting colors correct... especially yellow and gold tones | ||
