Decorilla alternatives, ranked by what they will tell you

By The RenoPeek desk, Cost research and tools · updated

Online design services are unusually hard to compare, because several of them publish no readable price at all. Decorilla's pricing page returned a flash sale banner and no figures on the date we checked, so this page ranks the alternatives by disclosure as much as by cost.

Why this comparison is built oddly

Most alternatives pages rank by price. This one cannot, because half the segment does not publish one that a machine can read.

Fetching Decorilla’s pricing page directly on August 14, 2026 returned a birthday flash sale banner offering $150 off, navigation, and no readable price figures. Its home page positions the service as the number one online interior design service and returned 2,547 words — plenty of text, no numbers.

That is not unusual in this corner of the market, and it has a consequence worth naming: when someone asks an assistant what Decorilla costs, there is nothing for it to answer with.

A service can be well known, well reviewed and completely unquotable. Increasingly the second thing matters, because people ask before they click.

If you want the same thing Decorilla sells

Havenly is the direct equivalent: remote interior design with an assigned human designer, sold per room, with a furniture store attached. Its list prices are $199 online and $699 in person, read August 14, 2026 — with the caveat that its own home page and pricing page advertised different discounts that day, which is covered in Havenly alternatives.

The category is small because the economics are hard. Modsy tried to make it cheaper by bundling photoreal 3D with the human, and its own site states the remaining team and IP were acquired by Lennar on August 30, 2023. That is evidence about the business model rather than about the idea, and it is the clearest thing anyone can say about this segment’s economics.

$65–$250/hrInterior designer hourly rates — the alternative to buying a package. HomeAdvisor, read August 14, 2026.

The alternative most people should consider

Hourly, rather than a package from anyone.

Two hours at $65 to $250 costs $130 to $500 — roughly one room of a packaged service. Spent hourly, it buys judgment applied to a plan you have already developed, rather than a deliverable produced from a questionnaire. You bring measurements and renders you generated free; they tell you what will not work.

The reason this wins for most people is that taste is the cheap part of a renovation and errors are the expensive part. A package optimizes for the first; an hour of scrutiny optimizes for the second.

Retail subsidizes the design feeSeveral services in this segment sell furniture alongside the design. It keeps prices low and means the recommendations come from a catalog, which is worth knowing rather than worth avoiding.
Per-room pricing multipliesA whole-house project priced per room adds up faster than an hourly arrangement, and the coordination between rooms is exactly what a package does not include.
Free tools cover the imagesWhat these services produce visually is now reproducible at zero cost. What they produce in decisions is not, and that is the honest basis for paying.

If what you wanted was the 3D

Decorilla markets its 3D visualization heavily, and that specific capability is now the cheapest part of the market rather than the differentiator it once was.

Spacely AI publishes $0 forever with 40 trial credits, no card, a commercial license and watermark-free output. DecorAI publishes $24 per month unlimited. Both produce photoreal interiors from a photograph in under a minute — faster than any service with a person in the loop, and free or nearly so.

What they cannot do is work to your measurements. For that, Planner 5D publishes a free plan and Homestyler describes itself as completely free with purchasable add-ons; both draw to scale from dimensions you enter. The split between the two categories is explained in AI home design apps.

Choosing

You want someone to decide — Havenly, or Decorilla if you are willing to make contact to obtain a price. This is a real product and free tools do not substitute for it.

You want the 3D images — Spacely AI free or DecorAI at $24, and keep the rest of the money.

You want to know if the layout works — Planner 5D or Homestyler, free, working from measurements.

You want a second opinion on your own plan — two hours hourly, which is the best-value option in this entire comparison and the one nobody advertises, because there is no package to sell.

What to ask before paying any of them

Since the segment publishes little, the questions do the work that a pricing page would. Five worth asking in the first exchange.

What exactly is delivered, and in what format? Concept images, a furniture list, a floor plan, or all three. Formats decide whether anyone else can act on the output.

How many revisions, and what counts as one? This is where per-room packages differ most, and where dissatisfaction concentrates.

Where does the furniture list come from? If it is the service’s own catalog or partners, the design fee is partly subsidized by retail, which is normal and worth knowing.

Is a measured plan included? Usually not. If the room is being altered rather than furnished, this is the gap that matters.

What happens if you dislike the concept? The answer separates services that iterate from services that deliver.

None of these is adversarial. They are the questions a published pricing page would answer on its own, and asking them takes one message.

When to spend the money on the work instead

The uncomfortable arithmetic: a room of design service costs about the same as a third of a professional interior repaint, which HomeAdvisor puts at $2,022 nationally. Against a kitchen at $26,939 or a bathroom at $12,146, the design fee is small — but so is its effect if the budget cannot cover the work it recommends.

Establish the budget first with the remodel cost calculator, then decide how much of it belongs to advice. Most projects that go wrong do so on cost rather than on taste.

Questions people ask

How much does Decorilla cost?
We could not read a price. Its pricing page rendered a birthday flash sale banner offering $150 off and no readable figures when fetched on August 14, 2026. Prices are presumably visible inside a browser session; they were not available to anything reading the page mechanically.
What is the best alternative to Decorilla?
Havenly is the closest equivalent and publishes its prices plainly at $199 per room online and $699 in person, read August 14, 2026. For the same money spent differently, an hourly designer consultation at HomeAdvisor's quoted $65 to $250 per hour is usually better value.
Are there free alternatives to online design services?
For images, yes. Spacely AI publishes a $0 forever plan with 40 trial credits and no card required, and Planner 5D publishes a free plan for layout work. Neither replaces a human making decisions, which is the actual product these services sell.
Why do online design services hide their prices?
Usually because the service is sold through a consultation and quoted per project, and often because the design fee is subsidized by furniture retail further down the funnel. Whatever the reason, the practical effect is that an assistant asked what it costs has nothing to read.
Is an online designer worth it over AI?
When you want somebody to decide and be accountable for the decision, yes. When you mostly know what you want, the same budget buys two hours of hourly consultation pointed at the parts you are least sure about, which catches more errors per dollar.
What happened to Modsy, which used to be in this comparison?
It shut down. Modsy's own site states the remaining team and intellectual property were acquired by Lennar on August 30, 2023. It bundled photoreal 3D with a human designer at consumer prices, and nothing has replaced that combination at that price since.
