Hey everyone, I’m planning to build a marble visualizer app , but I haven’t used any API yet — still deciding which one to go with. The idea: User uploads a room photo User uploads a marble texture App replaces only the floor/wall with that marble Important requirements: Keep lighting the same Keep room structure intact Only change the surface (no full image distortion) Output should look realistic APIs I’m considering: WaveSpeed AI (Qwen Image, Seedream models) Fal.ai (image-to-image models) OpenAI image API Replicate (SDXL / ControlNet) My questions: Which API/model is best for this type of editing? (material replacement / interior visualization) Is WaveSpeed AI good for production use? reliable? consistent results? Is Fal.ai a good long-term choice? stable API? cost at scale? Should I go with: OpenAI (better quality?) or SDXL + ControlNet (more control?) Any better alternatives I should consider? My priorities: realistic results (most important) stable API (for production) reasonable pricing at scale If anyone has built something similar (interior design / virtual staging), I’d really appreciate your suggestions submitted by /u/AppointmentFuture515
