LetsEnhance vs Upscal

LetsEnhance is an AI image upscaler for JPG, PNG, and WebP files, with batch processing and API access. Users can enlarge images by 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x, or choose custom dimensions; the service lists output up to 512 megapixels and support for reaching 300 DPI print resolution. Prime, Gentle, and Old Photo modes target different enhancement needs, and the listed capabilities also include face enhancement and old photo restoration. New users receive 10 free credits without a credit card, and processing one image uses one credit. Free inputs may be up to 24 megapixels or 50 MB, while free outputs are limited to 8 megapixels; free-plan images include a watermark. Paid plans remove the watermark. Starter costs $9 a month billed annually and includes 100 monthly credits. Unused credits roll over while a subscription is active, but expire when it ends; cancellation also ends unused credits and membership benefits at the billing period's end. The listed platform is API, and there is no desktop app. LetsEnhance is based in San Francisco, California.

Upscal uses built-in AI models to enhance low-resolution photos and videos on a device. Its image tools target blurry, compressed and old photos, aiming to improve edge sharpness, texture and detail. Video enhancement works frame by frame, and built-in super-resolution models can enlarge images and videos up to 8×. Batch processing is supported, with output formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV and M4V. Upscal is available on iOS, macOS and Windows. Once the app and required resources are installed, normal image and video enhancement can run offline. The privacy policy says processed media is handled locally rather than sent to an external processing server, though anonymous technical diagnostics may be transmitted, including app and operating-system versions, device category, crash traces and error logs. The free plan costs nothing, has no subscription and includes core image and video enhancement with offline processing; no account is required. The maker permits commercial use when users follow applicable laws and have the necessary rights to the input content. Results vary with source quality and device capability, and enhancement cannot perfectly recover detail that was never captured.
