Plans & historical pricing
Individual web subscriptions at the current Magnific destination; excludes Teams and separate API · 2026-10-20
Monthly price before tax; credits do not establish removal counts
8 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
Both individual Pro volumes and all annual charges are verified. Auto-refill was not enabled; the public pricing page does not quote top-up unit prices, free removal limits or per-removal credit cost, so those remain unconfirmed. Prices exclude VAT/local taxes.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Tested result & sample
Freepik / Magnific preserves full 2048×2048 native resolution and achieves 99.66% foreground recall with virtually zero background leakage (0.015%), keeping fine outer curls natural without harsh plastic clipping.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.0992 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 46.249 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.660% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.015% · 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.
