Tigmi vs RoomGPT

Tigmi vs. RoomGPT

A free AI room redesign tool that became one of the most-shared open-source AI demos.

RoomGPT is the famous open-source demo that introduced thousands of people to AI room redesign. Tigmi is a production tool with deeper controls, professional output options, and ongoing development.

RoomGPT got famous for being free, fast, and open source. Hassan El Mghari built it as a Replicate demo and it spread organically — many people's first exposure to AI redesign was through RoomGPT. As a demo, it's excellent.

As a daily-use tool, it has limits. The style library is small. There's no inpainting, no palette extraction, no Room Lock. Output resolution is fixed. Ongoing maintenance has slowed since the original viral period. None of that is criticism — it was built to demonstrate what was possible, not to be a sustained product.

Tigmi sits where RoomGPT pointed. We took the consumer accessibility seriously (free tier, no signup required to start) and built a fuller product behind it: more styles, more controls, multi-language UI, dedicated virtual staging, designer/realtor tiers.

Choose Tigmi when

You need more than 7 style options
You want to control what stays and what changes (Room Lock, inpainting)
You're working on real estate or design client deliverables
You need ongoing product improvements rather than a snapshot demo
You work in a non-English language

Choose RoomGPT when

You want a no-signup, free, instant test
You're a developer who wants to fork and customize
You only need basic style restyling, not nuanced controls

Honest verdict

RoomGPT did something important: it made AI room redesign viral. A lot of people in this space owe their start to that demo, and we're not embarrassed to say Tigmi exists partly because RoomGPT showed the demand was there.

For real day-to-day use, the gap is wide. RoomGPT is a 7-style restyle tool; Tigmi is a redesign workflow. If you only need what RoomGPT does, by all means use it — it's free and works. If you need anything past that, the upgrade path is real.

Developers should also know: RoomGPT's source is on GitHub. If you want to host your own version with custom styles or branding, that's a real option that no closed product (Tigmi included) gives you.

FAQ

Is RoomGPT still being updated?

The repo is intermittently maintained but ships infrequently. Treat it as a stable demo rather than an evolving product. Tigmi ships weekly.

Why does Tigmi cost money when RoomGPT is free?

RoomGPT runs on Replicate's infrastructure with limited usage; Tigmi has its own GPU pool, ongoing R&D, support, and feature development. The free tier is genuinely free; the paid tiers fund what comes next.
