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

Achieves 27.34 dB full-image PSNR, 0.8878 SSIM, and a high 0.7543 edge gradient correlation (hf_ratio=0.615); carved wood grain on "REALTEST 2026" and brass knuckles are crisp, while the tiny 3rd-row micro-text on the calibration plate shows mild generative stroke reshaping.
