Aiarty Video Enhancer vs REAL Video Enhancer

Aiarty Video Enhancer is desktop software for upscaling, denoising, deblurring and restoring video, including output up to 4K and a 4× upscale factor. Three AI models—moDetail-HQ v3, Smooth-HQ v3 and superVideo vHQ—address different detail, fidelity and low-light enhancement needs. Frame interpolation can add frames for playback at 90 fps, 120 fps or higher. The software also includes AI audio noise removal and controls for color correction, HDR, white balance, exposure, contrast and saturation. It supports Windows 10 and macOS 13.0 or higher, and lists MP4, MOV and MKV output with H.264, H.265, ProRes and AV1 codecs. Processing takes place locally, though the software may connect to download updates and AI models. The free version processes videos under 120 seconds each, adds a watermark to exports and does not support batch export. The Standard License is $79 a year; the Lifetime License is $149 as a one-time purchase. Paid licenses include personal and commercial use.

REAL Video Enhancer is a free application for video interpolation, upscaling, decompression, and denoising on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Interpolation models include RIFE, GMFSS, and IFRNet; the project gives 24-to-48-FPS conversion as an example. Upscaling options include SPAN, OpenProteus, AnimeJaNai, AniSD, and AnimeSR, while DeH264 is listed for decompression and DRUnet and DnCNN for denoising. Scene-change detection helps preserve sharp transitions, and the app previews the latest rendered frame. Compute options include TensorRT for NVIDIA RTX GPUs, PyTorch for CUDA 12.6- or ROCm 6.2-capable GPUs, and NCNN for Vulkan 1.3-capable GPUs. Listed minimums include a dual-core x64 CPU, Vulkan 1.3-capable GPU, and 16 GB RAM; NCNN also requires 4 GB VRAM and 1 GB free storage. TensorRT optimization can fail with limited VRAM; CUDA or NCNN are suggested alternatives. The project is AGPL-3.0 licensed. A Steam donation DLC costs $2.99, paid once and contains no content.
