18 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.

[1] No expiry

[2] No automatic renewal

[3] Unused credits expire with membership

All four monthly/annual volumes are verified using purchase-button totals (6,000 annual credits cost $90, despite a rounded $8 monthly label). The free card states 3 daily credits but other free statements conflict, so a single free allowance is unconfirmed. The 1/3-credit rules concern watermark removal, not a separately stated background-removal rate.

Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Cancellation, sources & verification record

No automatic renewal; the FAQ states no refund policy, with support available for payment issues.

Tested result & sample

DeWatermark Background Remover cleanly isolates the portrait subject (99.50% foreground recall) and exports a watermark-free 1280×1280 RGBA PNG, leaving a mild soft halo around fine outer curls (mad_band = 0.2254).

Edge error MAD
0.2254 · Lower is better
Global error SAD(k)
55.711 · Lower is better
Foreground retention
99.500% · Higher is better
Background residue
0.230% · Lower is better

These historical measurements describe alpha error at edges (MAD), total alpha error / 1000 (SAD), foreground retention and background residue. Low-resolution outputs are aligned to the reference under the original protocol; this does not imply a full-resolution export.
