Our take

Beginner-friendly · Free plan for simple cutouts; Pro $7.50/mo billed yearly (Max $20.99, Ultra $82.50)

Default for sellers who live in product photos. Core background removal sits on paid plans without burning AI credits, but export and batch caps are the bill that bites.

Also look at Pixelcut, Canva AI and remove.bg.
