All 10 previously missing amounts are confirmed in USD checkout summaries. Individual annual offers separate first-year and renewal charges; Business 80k is $1,920/year. Max monthly purchase paths show additional annual offers whose checkout totals were not independently confirmed; these are not merged with the default annual offer. Per-removal compute cost and extra top-up pricing are not separately specified in the verified plans/checkouts. Other Business volumes are outside scope.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Tested result & sample
Powered by the Photoroom engine inside Krea Edit, achieving low global error (SAD(k)=37.841), 99.73% foreground recall, and 0.10% background leak at full 2048×2048 resolution.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.217 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 37.841 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.730% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.100% · 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.

Network wait includes round trips, queuing and polling error, not pure inference time. Local timings depend on the device; repetition counts are not standardized in legacy records.

Evaluation basis & full scores · Overall 84.2/100
Overall = honesty & reputation × 30% + capability × 70%. Component maxima follow this report’s rubric. List scores are rounded for display; original precision is retained here.
Scoring version 2.3.1 · Test fixture anchor_bgremove_v1
Honesty & reputation · 88/100 · 30%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | 34 / 40 | Requires a free login to enter Krea Edit (01_landing.png); the right-hand Background Removal panel explicitly discloses that segmentation is powered by Photoroom (02_workspace.png), and the free daily compute allowance lets you export the full 2048×2048 watermark-free RGBA PNG directly (03_download.png). | Evidence A → |
| Interaction restraint | 19 / 20 | Clean dark canvas workspace; clicking Remove Background adds a transparent stage to the bottom timeline with one-click Download in the top-right. | Evidence A → |
| Background & reputation | 22 / 25 | Developed by Krea AI Inc. (San Francisco, CA), openly integrating PhotoRoom SAS's segmentation model. | Evidence C → |
| Engineering & privacy | 13 / 15 | Zero client-side pre-downscaling; uploads the 2048×2048 image and returns a full 2048×2048 RGBA PNG. | Evidence A → |
Capability · 82.5/100 · 70%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task quality | 50.5 / 65 | Transition band error mad_band=0.217 · Global SAD(k)=37.841 · Foreground recall 99.73% / Background leak 0.100% | Evidence A → |
| Deliverable specifications | 20 / 20 | True Alpha channel (8/8); Max deliverable spec: 2048×2048 (100% native RGBA PNG export) | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 12 / 15 | Network-observed server wait: 11.5s (API mode: async_queue; network upload 1.4s / end-to-end 12.9s shown for reference only, never penalized) | Evidence A → |
Legacy scores may include advertised maximum capabilities. Read tested output separately from paid capabilities. Records without matching tiers and scope are not ranked together.
