Verified 10,000 credits for $120 and 30,000 for $330, both one-time payments with non-expiring credits. The pricing page quantifies upscaling, restoration, editing and video use but not background removal; general credits are not asserted removal counts.

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

Tested result & sample

Delivers crisp hair-edge matting (mad_band=0.0908, SAD(k)=41.38) with 99.87% foreground recall and an ultra-low 0.043% background leak, exporting a 4.78MB 2048×2048 RGBA PNG.

Edge error MAD
0.0908 · Lower is better
Global error SAD(k)
41.383 · Lower is better
Foreground retention

Background residue

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.
