Questions
- Is MOCKLIO free?
- Partly. Its free plan has unlimited front-view stills once you create an account; angled views, video and the portfolio need Pro at $19 a month, and a single video is $12 on Free. Situ.art is free too: 50+ rooms with no account, 730+ with a free one, and no watermark. A free account includes 5 downloads.
- How much does MOCKLIO cost?
- Pro is $19 a month with 2 videos, Studio $39 with 5, Atelier $179 with 25 and Gallery $299 with 50. Yearly billing saves a month.
- Does MOCKLIO show art at its real size?
- Its site says it fits the work to the wall at “believable wall scale” and doesn’t mention entering a size. Situ.art hangs the work at the size you enter, at a natural height, in every room.
- How long does a MOCKLIO video take?
- Its FAQ says most are ready in 1.5 to 2.5 hours and some take up to 5. Situ.art’s room images download straight away, and its art videos of your scene are made in the browser.
- Can I show my art at an angle?
- Yes. Some rooms have angled views of the same wall, with your work drawn in its perspective; angled downloads come with the Artist plan, £9 a month. MOCKLIO’s left and right views start on Pro at $19.
- Can I hang several works together?
- Yes. Hang up to 8 works (two without an account) together, each at its true size, and every room lays them out to fit its wall. MOCKLIO’s site doesn’t mention several works on one wall.
- How much does Situ.art cost after the free plan?
- Artist is £9 a month and Pro £29 a month, less billed annually. Nothing on the free plan needs a card.
- Will AI change my artwork?
- Room images never do: your work is drawn from your own image. AI only runs when you ask it to change the scene, and it can sometimes repaint the work; on an image of one work, Restore puts your original back in one tap.
