Subscription + credits · 1 shared tested task edge 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.

Subscription + credits · 1 shared tested task edge PicWish (picwish.com)

Actual annual charges $59.99/$263.99. A 3-day trial is offered; cancel before expiry to avoid charges. Exact daily free count is unspecified. The 11,500-credit pack includes a current 1,500-credit bonus.
