The recheck preserves a conflict: official purchase cards list 5 free HD downloads/month without a watermark, while the feature FAQ says free users cannot save or download HD. Free HD availability is therefore not guaranteed. AI credits cover AI backgrounds/generation, not established removal counts. Purchase cards state a 30-day money-back guarantee, subject to refund eligibility terms. Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.

| Fixture findings | Superb text spelling and multi-object count/color binding; realistic brass robot aesthetics, full 1024px native resolution with a corner watermark. | With Prompt enhance off, "REALTEST 2026" sign lettering and 2 blue ceramic mugs are exact, whereas the plate holds 4 red apples instead of 3 and 4 metallic fingers are visible gripping the sign. |
