Plans & historical pricing
Web Pro and all public Ultra credit volumes; per Ultra seat · 2026-10-20
13 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
Six annual charges verified in single-seat checkout. The current public pricing page lists Pro/Ultra without a free removal count. It says add-on credits never expire but does not quote their purchase prices, which remain unconfirmed. Annual prices are per seat; tax depends on billing address.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Tested result & sample
Curly hair transitions are clean and natural (mad_band=0.0969, SAD(k)=36.67) with 99.83% foreground recall and only 0.04% background leak—ranking near the very top among tools that export full 2048×2048 resolution without login.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.0969 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 36.673 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.830% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 0.040% · 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.

- Recorded environment
- US-West (California, AS2914)
- Network-observed server wait

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.
