Subscription + credits · 3 shared tested task edges Nero AI (ai.nero.com)

The official pricing page and credit table state that guests get 5 free runs and registered Free accounts receive 10 one-time Nero Credits (Standard/Photo/Anime 2× costs 1 credit/image, 4× costs 2 credits/image, paid-only 8× costs 4 credits/image). Standard monthly is USD 21.95/month promotional (regular USD 24.99/month, 300 credits/month). The yearly promo banner displays only "7.66 USD per month" (3,000 credits/year) without printing the annual invoice total before login, so the annual total is marked unverified.

Measured fixture results

Global PSNR: 22.01 dB · SSIM: 0.8181 · Scratch repair PSNR: 5.11 dB

Fixture findings

2× DiffBIR restoration reaches 2048×2048 with 22.27 dB face PSNR and 0.4468 edge correlation, leaving creases unhealed (5.11 dB scratch PSNR).

Original historical observation

Picsart's DiffBIR model upscales the 1024×1024 degraded portrait 2× to 2048×2048 in 4.84s with visibly sharper facial features and hair (global PSNR = 22.01 dB, face_psnr = 22.27 dB, edge_corr = 0.4468), but leaves the 5 synthetic creases unhealed (scratch_psnr = 5.11 dB) (result.png, download.png).

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Uses a DiffBIR blind restoration pipeline to deblur and 2× upscale 1024×1024 portraits to 2048×2048 in 4.84s with free login-free watermark-free JPEG export (22.01 dB global PSNR, 22.27 dB face PSNR), though it does not automatically inpaint creases (5.11 dB scratch PSNR).

[1] One annual payment; Ultra quote is per seat. The summary currently shows $0 tax, but no billing address was submitted; final tax depends on the actual address.

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.
