Colourise vs Cutout.Pro

Colourise is a browser-based AI photo studio for colorizing monochrome images and removing image backgrounds. Its colorization tool analyzes a black-and-white photo and applies lifelike, historically accurate color with one click. Background removal isolates subjects for product shots, profile pictures, and composites. Batch processing can apply enhancements, colorization, or background removal to entire folders at once. The processing tools accept JPG and PNG uploads up to 10MB. A free tier for occasional personal use has a daily quota; paid plans include unlimited processing, all AI tools, high-resolution output, and lifetime free updates. Listed prices are $39.99 a month, $59.99 a year, or $74.99, paid once. The Lifetime plan includes commercial use for client work, advertising, merchandise, and other revenue-generating activities. Colourise says uploads are encrypted in transit, are not used to train AI models, and are deleted after processing; its terms state they are kept only long enough to process and return results, then removed. Support usually replies within one business day. The service does not promise continuous availability, and maintenance, capacity limits, or outages may interrupt access.

Cutout.Pro removes image backgrounds and can replace them with other backgrounds. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and BMP files up to 15 MB, with output up to 4096 × 4096 pixels in PNG or JPG. An Erase & Restore brush lets users refine missed background areas or clipped foreground details. Batch processing is available; the Windows and Mac desktop app can process folders. Other access includes Android, iOS, Linux, web and API. Each upload receives a low-resolution preview without a watermark, account or credits, while an HD image download uses one credit. New accounts receive five credits without a credit card. The free plan is available, and the listed subscription with 80 credits per month costs $5 a month. Other subscription and pay-as-you-go credit packages are listed. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, but Shopify App credit purchases are non-refundable. Cutout.Pro was founded in 2018 and is based in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
