ProMyPhoto vs BoxBrownie
BoxBrownie is an edit only service: you shoot the photos, upload them, and their team edits them. ProMyPhoto is capture + edit in one app: you shoot it on your phone, then it finishes the shot to a professional standard automatically. Here's how the two actually compare for an agent.

Edit only vs capture + edit
BoxBrownie is a photo editing service. You (or your photographer) shoot the listing photos first, then upload them to BoxBrownie, where a team edits them (things like colour correction, sky replacement or virtual staging) and sends the finished files back. It's priced per image, and there's a turnaround while the edit queue is worked through.
ProMyPhoto starts a step earlier. You shoot it yourself. The app captures true exposure brackets for each room on your phone, then finishes every photo automatically to a professional standard in the cloud. There's no separate upload and wait step; capture and finish happen on the one visit.
In short: BoxBrownie assumes you already have the photo. ProMyPhoto assumes you don't have the photo yet, and gets you there.

Which should you choose
If you already have well shot photos (your own, or from a photographer) and just want them edited, an edit only service like BoxBrownie does that job. It doesn't help with the capture itself.
If you want to skip hiring anyone and shoot the listing yourself with confidence that it'll come out right, ProMyPhoto is built for that: you shoot it on your phone and true exposure brackets are the whole point, and the finish (HDR window pull, virtual staging, sky replacement, decluttering) is included, not a separate line item.
Plenty of agents end up using both: ProMyPhoto for most listings, and an edit only service on the odd occasion they've got source photos from elsewhere that need finishing.
ProMyPhoto vs BoxBrownie: FAQ
What is the difference between ProMyPhoto and BoxBrownie?
BoxBrownie edits photos you've already taken and uploaded. It's an editing service. ProMyPhoto lets you shoot the photos yourself on your phone and then finishes them to a professional standard automatically, so it covers both the shoot and the edit.
Does ProMyPhoto do virtual staging like BoxBrownie?
Yes. Virtual staging is one of the edits built into ProMyPhoto's finish, along with HDR window pull, sky replacement and decluttering.
Can ProMyPhoto edit photos I already took?
ProMyPhoto is built around its own shoot on phone capture and finish process rather than editing arbitrary uploaded photos. The app is designed to take you from an empty listing to finished photos in one visit.
Which is cheaper?
ProMyPhoto is credits based: eligible new accounts try their first photos free, then it's one credit per finished photo. $21 USD a month gets you 15 finished photos, or 18 when you subscribe through our website (3 extra credits). That price covers both the capture and the edit, not editing alone.
Do I still need a photographer with either?
No. That's the point of both tools in different ways. BoxBrownie still needs someone to take the original photos first. ProMyPhoto replaces that step too, letting you shoot the listing yourself on your phone.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some agents shoot most listings with ProMyPhoto and use an edit only service like BoxBrownie on the occasions they have source photos from elsewhere that just need editing.
