Pricing

Structured prices on photoroom.com/pricing, in USD, and the FAQ says VAT is included. Pro is $12.99/month or $89.99/year, with 8,000 AI credits and 1,000 exports a month. The yearly card shows Pro as $7.50/month, which matches $89.99 divided by 12, rounded. Max is $34.99/month or $250/year. The Max yearly card shows $20.99/month, and $250 divided by 12 is $20.83, so that per-month figure does not match the yearly total. Ultra is $99/month or $990/year. The Ultra yearly card shows $82.50/month, which matches. The page data also lists higher Ultra tiers. Enterprise is custom. On a paid plan, background removal and the other core tools do not spend credits, within fair use. The help center says Free is personal, non-commercial use, with lower limits, and it does not name the free credit count. Pro and Max yearly plans include a 7-day trial.

Best for

A thumbnail still that needs the background gone, or a new one, before type goes on.

Strengths

  • Background removal is a core tool on a paid plan, so it does not spend the AI credit pool.
  • Pro yearly is a published $89.99, which is a smaller bill than a full design suite when the job is the cutout.

Limits

  • The help center limits the free plan to personal, non-commercial use. A sponsored thumbnail needs a paid plan.
  • The Max yearly card shows $20.99/month. The structured yearly price is $250. Those two do not divide cleanly.
