Retouchia vs Trybestspecs
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. · Anyone picking frames online who wants to see a specific shape, colour and material on their own face before ordering, and who is willing to make an account and buy a small credit pack for a batch of renders. The middle pack is the one that makes sense if you plan to compare several styles. Not a fit for readers who want an anonymity-first try-on with no account and no stored history, who need a real fitting or prescription advice rather than a style preview, who want a free trial long enough to judge output on their own face, or who need a named company and a stated jurisdiction before paying.

Credits never expire and each try-on costs 1 credit, so the packs buy 10, 30 or 100 generations; the per-credit arithmetic on the page reconciles (about USD 0.30, 0.23 and 0.15). Signup grants 1 credit, which is the entire free tier. The served plan payload marks every pack interval "one-time" with valid_days 0 and carries no recurring flag; the payment providers listed are Stripe and Creem.

Evidence status
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 2026-10-22Submitted 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.
