Plans & historical pricing
Web free, monthly, annual and all 10 image packs · 2026-10-20
Only monthly equivalent $6.59 is listed; actual annual charge unverified; the payment panel does not state a full-year total or billing period (Pro shows $6.59 Plan Activation), so it does not verify an annual contract.
Only monthly equivalent $12.99 is listed; actual annual charge unverified; the payment panel does not state a full-year total or billing period (Pro shows $6.59 Plan Activation), so it does not verify an annual contract.
16 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
With annual selected, Pro payment shows only $6.59 Plan Activation, without a full-year total or billing period; the Business annual total is also unconfirmed. The 50,000-image pack total of $1,500 conflicts with its $0.05/image label; the total is retained with the conflict disclosed.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

Tested result & sample
Retoucher Online scores high on commercial honesty (3 free 2048×2048 unwatermarked PNGs/day without login), but its underlying segmentation model struggles with complex frizzy hair flyaways (mad_band=0.2451, bg_leak=3.424%), leaving a visible warm background halo around outer curls.
- Edge error MAD
- 0.2451 · Lower is better
- Global error SAD(k)
- 73.972 · Lower is better
- Foreground retention
- 99.630% · Higher is better
- Background residue
- 3.424% · 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.

| Deliverable specifications | 20 / 20 | Preserves full 2048×2048 resolution and true RGBA transparency without any watermark within the 3/day guest quota (20.0/20). | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 10 / 15 | Cloud async cutout completes in ~7.80s (network upload 1.90s, end-to-end 10.80s reference) (10.0/15). | Evidence A → |
