AutoHDR vs Fotello
AutoHDR and Fotello both edit real estate photos online, but they price and package the work differently. AutoHDR charges per photo you download, with a free plan of 10 photos a month and tools such as sky replacement, grass, removals and virtual twilight. Fotello charges per listing and wraps editing into a platform with staging, twilight, booking, delivery and payments, plus human revisions on paid plans. Choose AutoHDR for per-photo pricing and integrations; choose Fotello for an all-in-one media platform.
We make NovaHDR, which is not one of these two products. We compared AutoHDR and Fotello using their public pages, checked October 12, 2026.

Where NovaHDR fits
NovaHDR is a third option for photographers who do not need staging, twilight or a platform. It finishes a property photo set with balanced exposure and consistent color from room to room, from up to 50 exported JPEG, PNG or WebP photos, and returns it 24 to 72 hours after you send the property for your final review. NovaHDR does not offer staging, twilight or sky replacement, so it suits a natural finish rather than a redesigned room.
