Cleanup.pictures (Clipdrop / Jasper) · Object removal
Login-free brush editing is simple with upfront size disclosure; signs were removed cleanly, but free output is only 720px and HD needs Pro.

One run does not establish all complex scenes, untested paid maxima or long-term uptime.
Plans & historical pricing
Cleanup.pictures web and cross-platform plans (Free / Pro / ClipDrop Pro / API); USD · 2026-10-21
Card only displays "11 starting from" and redirects to clipdrop.co/pricing; full monthly/annual checkout breakdown is not listed on this page.
5 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
The official pricing section and FAQ explicitly state Free (USD 0, unlimited images capped at 720p) and Cleanup Pro (USD 5/month or USD 36/year, equivalent to USD 3/month, with unlimited resolution and images). The page also displays a "ClipDrop Pro · 11 starting from" cross-sell card without full billing-period details on this page (see clipdrop.co for standalone ClipDrop pricing), so ClipDrop Pro is marked unverified with partial coverage.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.
Cancellation, sources & verification record
Manage, pause, or cancel anytime in the "manage subscription" section. Refunds after activation are granted only in rare cases such as technical difficulties or platform incompatibilities (full within 14 days, prorated thereafter).

Evaluation basis & full scores · Overall 79.9/100
Overall = honesty & reputation × 30% + capability × 70%. Component maxima follow this report’s rubric. List scores are rounded for display; original precision is retained here.

|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | 29 / 35 | Immediately upon uploading the 2048×2048 original, an upfront resolution modal (04_sd_downscale_modal.png) transparently discloses that the free tier processes at 720×720 SD with free unwatermarked export while 2048×2048 HD requires Pro—zero post-interaction ambush. | Evidence A → |
