The official /pricing/web page lists Web Free (USD 0, 20 images/session, max 5 MB/file, 3 format conversions/session), Web Pro (displayed as USD 3.25/month billed annually, unlimited compressions, max 75 MB/file), and Web Ultra (displayed as USD 12.42/month billed annually, unlimited compressions and conversions, max 150 MB/file).

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.
