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.

| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Removed signs promptly after brushing in this test; free output was reduced to 720px. | Supports marking multiple areas; reconstruction looked natural, but free output was 720px and the page had ads. |
| Original historical observation | Cleanup.pictures’ signature release-to-erase workflow removes each sign in ~3.3s with clean background continuation; its only limitation is the upfront 720×720 SD resolution cap on the free tier. | Hama.app lets users brush all 3 signs at once and submit a single /api/hama-inpainting job (8.78s), blending bookshelf and wood-grain backgrounds naturally; its main limitations are the 720×720 free resolution cap and third-party Google AdSense overlays. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Casual users who want frictionless, unlimited, release-to-erase cleanup for social/web images where 720p suffices | Quick social media or small web graphics where 720px unwatermarked output without login is sufficient |
