Rapvideo Ai vs Retouchia

People who want the Hotel Lobby / rap-duo trend video of themselves or a friend without filming anything, plus anyone making a birthday, anniversary, roast or small-business rap from two phone photos, who would rather buy credits per video than take on another monthly AI subscription · Ecommerce sellers, creators and small marketing teams who need occasional one-off photo edits - background removal, object removal, upscaling, old-photo restoration, colourising - and would rather buy a $9.99 credit pack than add another monthly AI subscription. Not a fit for anyone who needs a named legal counterparty, a contractual jurisdiction, or a guarantee about which specific model runs their image.

Official sources checked 2026-10-27

Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-27 14:13 UTC; editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-27. The submission's name, category (Creative) and summary were accurate. Prices were read from the served /pricing HTML and cross-checked against the /zh, /es, /fr and /de mirrors, which carry identical figures; per-render credit costs come from the same page's model table. The yearly toggle is JavaScript-only, so only the Basic yearly figure ($299/120 videos, quoted in the studio's own price line on the homepage) could be verified - Pro and Agency yearly prices are recorded as unavailable rather than guessed. Three internal pricing inconsistencies were verified on the live pages and are published in cons: 'About $1 a song' (homepage value card plus the /pricing <title> and og:title) against 'about $2.99 a song on the Basic plan' (hero and FAQ) and the $3.32/video Label pack; '100 credits / month · 8 videos' on the Basic card against '10 songs a month for $29.90'; and plan/pack sizing at ~12 credits a video against the stated 10-credit standard render. Legal set: /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service and /refund-policy all 200 (all dated 'Last updated: 2026-10-04'), while /privacy, /terms, /refund, /about, /contact and /faq 404 - the FAQ is the homepage anchor /#faq, not a missing route. Processors named by company with purpose (Kie.ai/ByteDance Seedance, OpenAI lyrics, Cloudflare, Railway, Stripe, Google); training use explicitly excluded; likeness, minors and prohibited-use clauses present; refund windows stated; non-affiliation with artists and labels stated in the ToS and on the Hotel Lobby guide. Trackers read from the served markup on the policy pages themselves: GA4 G-GLWNKQXXM1 via googletagmanager, Microsoft Clarity yr9wgy5s80, PostHog, plus the Cloudflare beacon - none named in the notice, no cookie section, no consent gate (the 'consent' strings in the bundle are photo-permission i18n, and the 'countdown' strings are OTP resend labels, not a pricing timer). No company, controller, postal address or governing-law clause exists in the ToS. Contact: support@rapvideoai.com published via Cloudflare email obfuscation on every legal page and probed live against the domain's Cloudflare MX with nothing sent - 250 2.1.0 Ok, random local part 550 5.1.1, so one real mailbox on a non-catch-all domain; the submission's alex@imagesv2.ai also answers 250 and is the same address that submitted ImagesV2. Operator: rapvideoai.com and imagesv2.ai share the Cloudflare nameserver pair noor/jake, the same Cloudflare MX triple and registrar Dynadot, and the submitted contact address is on the imagesv2.ai domain we already list - same operator, separate product, so this is a second listing rather than a duplicate. Name: rapvideo.ai is a separate operator (Roman/Bristol nameservers, Zoho MX, Spaceship registrar, registered 2026-10-02) selling a same-named Hotel Lobby rap-video product; homepage body-text similarity to this site measured 0.156 with difflib, i.e. separately drafted, and rapvideoai.com was registered 2026-09-29, three days earlier - a crowded fresh name, not a squat, and it is disclosed in cons.

Retouchia

Free: 5 credits on sign-up, advertised as ~1 image, no card required, full-resolution downloads on the free tier. Paid: two one-time packs only, no subscription - Basic $9.99 for 350 credits (shown against a $12 anchor, "Save 16%") and Pro $29.99 for 1,200 credits (against a $39.90 anchor, "Save 24%"). The cards advertise ~70 images from 350 credits and ~240 from 1,200, i.e. 5 credits per image, while the Terms state "Each public output costs 4 credits". Paid credits are valid 365 days from purchase (Terms section 6, Refund Policy section 1, and the "Credits valid for 1 year" line on each card); the Terms state no coded expiry reminder is sent. No monthly or yearly plan is sold. Payment card data is processed by Waffo Pancake. Prices in USD and identical on /pricing, /zh/pricing, /zh-tw/pricing and llms.txt.

Official sources checked 2026-10-22

Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-23 00:11 UTC (2026-10-22 17:11 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-22. Submitted summary and category (Creative) were broadly accurate, though the site is a multi-model photo editor rather than only a background-removal/upscale tool. Prices read from the rendered /pricing cards and the SKU data in the pricing chunk (basic_one_time, pro_one_time, currency usd) and cross-checked against the /zh/pricing and /zh-tw/pricing mirrors and llms.txt - all three agree on $9.99/350 and $29.99/1,200, on the $12 and $39.90 anchors, and on 1-year credit validity, and the stated 16% and 24% discounts match those anchors. The ~70 and ~240 image figures are hardcoded display strings in the pricing bundle, not computed, and they imply 5 credits per output while the Terms state 4. Purchasability confirmed without transacting: Waffo checkout reports enabled in the public config endpoint (/api/config/public returns waffo_enabled true, app_name Retouchia, google_analytics_id G-G107GQMKL9, email_verification_enabled false, password_reset_enabled false), and the packs carry Product/Offer JSON-LD with price, currency, SKU and seller. Operator identity, jurisdiction and governing law are absent by the vendor's own statement rather than by omission - this website does not publish a legal entity name, registered office or postal address. Legal set verified live: /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service, /acceptable-use, /refund-policy and /cookie-policy all 200 and versioned by date. Model provenance is the unresolved item: the sitewide navigation and /gpt-image-2-5 advertise GPT Image 2.5 as "OpenAI's" model, while Terms section 2.1, the AUP and the Privacy Policy name only SparkPix and Nano Banana 2, and the strings GPT and OpenAI appear in no legal page; no non-affiliation statement exists anywhere on the site. Contact probe: contact@retouchia.com returned 250 against route1.mx.cloudflare.net with a random local part at 550 5.1.1 (real mailbox, not catch-all). Domain registered 2026-08-30 via Cloudflare, nameservers dayana/seth.ns.cloudflare.com. Name checked for collisions: no other product trades as Retouchia; directory listings exist on FutureTools, tinylaunch and a wiretensors review dated 2026-09-27 which notes public adoption appears minimal - relevant to the site's unverified 200K+ users / 10M+ images claims.
