roomephantRoomephant vs Spoak: a mockup studio and a photo try-on do different jobs
Short answer: Spoak is a studio for mocking up real or imagined spaces with any product you find online, with budgets and a community, from $7 a month for members and $50 to $100 a month for pros. Roomephant does one narrow thing: it puts a specific product from a store link into a photo of the actual room, at the dimensions the listing gives, free and without an account.
Spoak describes itself as a digital studio for interior design lovers to practice and gather. You mock up a space to whatever fidelity you want, measure a real room down to the centimetre and track the budget with Tallies. Pro and Premium add presentation mode, custom share links and white-labeling; Pro designs carry a small Spoak watermark, Premium does not (spoak.com/pro, 9 October 2026).
Roomephant skips the mockup. You paste the product link and a photo of the room, tap where the piece goes, and the listing's own product appears there at its listed width, depth and height. There is no board, no 3D scene and no community. There is a before-and-after link you can send to a client.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between Roomephant and Spoak?
Short answer: Spoak is a studio for mocking up real or imagined spaces with any product you find online, with budgets and a community, from $7 a month for members and $50 to $100 a month for pros. Roomephant does one narrow thing: it puts a specific product from a store link into a photo of the actual room, at the dimensions the listing gives, free and without an account.
Is there a free alternative to Spoak?
Roomephant is free to use: previews every day, no signup and no credit card. It solves a narrower job than Spoak — showing the exact product you are about to buy in your own room, at the size the store lists.
Does Roomephant use the real dimensions of the product?
Yes. Width, depth and height are read from the store listing and used as the scale anchor, and the room scale is estimated from visible cues such as floor and ceiling lines. That is what keeps a sofa from being rendered the size of an armchair.
Which should I use — Roomephant or Spoak?
