Image generation

82/100
Seven-aspect task score

New free accounts receive 50 AI credits; with default Prompt enhance toggled off, a 4-image batch costs 20 credits, returns in ~9.9s, and exports a 1024×1024 watermark-free PNG with exact sign text but 4 red apples instead of 3.

Image generation

75/100
Seven-aspect task score

Login-free generation works, but the advertised model differs from the guest tier; free output is 640px, with about 85 seconds of waiting and a count error in this run.

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.

Cancellation, sources & verification record

The page allows cancellation/plan changes anytime and advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee, subject to terms.

Fixture findings

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.

Spelling was correct in this test; free output was 640px and the guest wait was about 85 seconds.
