Claid vs ON1 Portrait AI

Claid is an image and video suite for product and fashion photography, available on the web and through an API. Its tools include AI Photoshoot, AI fashion models, background removal, image upscaling, light and color correction, and image-to-video. Claid says its AI is trained for product photography and aims to retain details, logos and branding. The API handles image and video operations such as AI backgrounds, natural-language editing, upscaling and generative resizing; batch processing is supported. Images can be processed from AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage or a web folder. Claid’s Zapier integration can send edited and generated images to more than 6,000 apps. The company identifies marketplaces and ecommerce businesses as users and says its story began in 2017 while addressing low-quality product photos for ecommerce platforms. Claid says it is GDPR and CCPA compliant, encrypts data at rest and in transit, and does not use customer data for model training; SOC 2 is in progress. A free plan includes 50 credits for any operation and 50 API credits. A free trial is also listed.

ON1 Portrait AI is desktop software for retouching portraits on Windows and macOS. Machine learning detects faces and applies retouching based on user preferences, with independent controls for each face. Tools include skin smoothing, blemish removal, teeth whitening, eye enhancement and face sculpting. Users can batch-process a folder of photos for proofing, and non-destructive edits can be revised later without changing the original image. Mask AI identifies people, animals, skies, mountains, trees, water and ground to create masks. The software supports RAW files, layers and masks, and works as a standalone app or a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop Elements, Apple Photos, Affinity Photo, Capture One and PaintShop Pro. An owned Portrait AI license supports two computers; Photo RAW MAX provides access to ON1 apps in one editor. No free plan is listed, but a 30-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee are available. Activation requires an active account and high-speed internet.
