Recraft
Professional AI vector and raster design workspace by Recraft Inc. (4 benchmarked capabilities: Image generation, Image upscaling, Object removal, Background removal)
Product node overview & trust baseline
Operator provenance, privacy baseline and site-wide pricing belong directly to the product node and are inherited across linked task edgesRecraft, operated by Recraft Inc. (London, UK) under a "Free tier + subscription" model, has 4 published task assessments on RealTest (Image generation 94/100, Image upscaling 92/100, Object removal 89/100, Background removal 75/100). In image generation, text, counts and composition perform well, with prompts preserved through login into canvas editing; an account and credits are needed for this 1024px clean export. In image upscaling, one free-allowance credit delivers 4× watermark-free output with flexible canvas comparison and export; login is required and tiny text still has merged strokes.

Tested task edges (with scores and native artifacts) are strictly separated from discovered untested capabilities (unscored).
Peer product comparison across shared task edges
Matched by overlapping tested task edges; compare site-wide billing models alongside per-task benchmark scoresThe official pricing page and credit table state that guests get 5 free runs and registered Free accounts receive 10 one-time Nero Credits (Standard/Photo/Anime 2× costs 1 credit/image, 4× costs 2 credits/image, paid-only 8× costs 4 credits/image). Standard monthly is USD 21.95/month promotional (regular USD 24.99/month, 300 credits/month). The yearly promo banner displays only "7.66 USD per month" (3,000 credits/year) without printing the annual invoice total before login, so the annual total is marked unverified.
