Photoroom Pricing 2026: Plans, API Costs and Alternatives

Photoroom pricing starts at $12.99 a month for the Pro plan in the US, or $7.50 a month if you pay for a year. The free plan costs $0, but it is for personal, non-commercial use only and allows 100 exports a month. Max is $34.99 a month, Ultra starts at $99, and the separate Photoroom API starts at $0.02 per image.

Below is every plan for the app, web, teams and API, what AI credits and exports actually buy, how the app store prices differ, and the alternatives worth comparing if you sell products online.

Photoroom plans and prices at a glance

US prices from Photoroom's pricing page. Yearly prices are per month, paid once a year, and Photoroom's FAQ says VAT and GST are already included. Free plan limits are from Photoroom's help center.

What the free plan includes

Photoroom creates a free Space for you the first time you log in. According to its help center, a free Space comes with:

• 100 exports a month. Every image you download, save, share or publish counts as one export.
• Limited features and a low AI limit. Some features are not available at all, and there is a low cap on AI generations.
• A daily limit on the basic tools. Background Remover, AI Expand, Image Enhancer, preset AI Shadows, Resize and Retouch have a daily cap that is much lower on free Spaces.
• No commercial use. Photoroom's terms grant free accounts a license "for your own personal, non-commercial purposes".
• No Batch Mode and no API. Both need a paid subscription.

That last point on commercial use settles it for most sellers: if the photos go on a store, a marketplace listing or an ad, you need a paid plan. Photoroom says free trials are often available the first time you subscribe, giving 7 days of the plan you pick, and you are not charged if you cancel before the trial ends.

What each paid plan adds

• Pro ($12.99 a month, or $7.50 billed yearly). 8,000 AI credits and 1,000 exports a month, unlimited core tools, AI Backgrounds and AI Fashion Models at 1K. No Video Generator, no 4K and no Shopify integration.
• Max ($34.99 a month, or $20.99 billed yearly). 25,000 credits and 3,000 exports, plus the Video Generator, AI Fashion Models at 2K and the Shopify integration. Photoroom's help center adds faster processing and priority support.
• Ultra (from $99 a month, or $82.50 billed yearly). Everything in Max plus 4K images and video, in four sizes (below).
• Enterprise (custom). Adds adjustable AI Shadows, visual QA tools, ROI data, early access to new features, an SLA, SSO and dedicated onboarding.

What Photoroom's AI credits buy

Photoroom's pricing page lists how many generations each plan's credits cover if you spend them all on one tool. Here are the ones that matter most for product photos:

Photoroom's figures: "the maximum generations possible using all your credits on a single feature". Mixing tools draws on the same pool.

How credits and exports work

Every paid plan has two separate allowances, and it is worth understanding both before you pick a tier.

• Core tools cost no credits. Background Remover, Retouch, AI Product Fixer, preset AI Shadows, AI Fill, AI Expand and Resize, and Image Enhancer are included on every paid plan within fair-use limits. Applying a white background or a template does not use credits either.
• AI credits pay for generation. Video, virtual models, AI Backgrounds Studio and Edit with AI draw from one shared pool per Space. Video costs more than images, and higher resolutions cost more than lower ones. In Batch, each image counts as one generation.
• Exports cap what you can download. Every image you save, from the editor, Batch or a Shopify sync, counts as one export. The limit applies to images up to 2K, resets monthly (also on yearly billing), and Photoroom warns you at 80% and 100%. At the limit, exports pause until the reset or an upgrade.
• Running out means upgrading or waiting. Photoroom's help center lists those two options when credits run out before renewal. Failed generations are refunded automatically, and poor results can be reported for a possible refund, up to 20 a day.
• Allowances vary by country. Photoroom's FAQ says the monthly credit amount may vary by region, so a plan outside the US can come with a different number of credits.

Photoroom pricing for teams

Photoroom charges per Space, not per person. A Space is a shared workspace, and its subscription decides what everyone in it can use. According to Photoroom's help center:

• Up to 50 people per Space at no extra cost, you plus 49, on every plan including Free.
• The team shares one pool of AI credits and exports. Inviting more people does not raise the limits.
• Each Space needs its own subscription. Your Pro plan does not carry over into a teammate's Space.
• Per-seat billing is gone. Teams that used to pay for each member were moved to a plan that matches their spend; the help center's example moves a 10-seat team to Ultra.

So a team of ten pays the same as one person. The real question is whether 1,000 or 3,000 shared exports a month cover everyone. If several people each export a few hundred images, plan on Max or Ultra.

Photoroom API pricing

The Photoroom API is a separate product. The app plans do not include it: Photoroom's FAQ says API and MCP usage "use a separate allowance", and the help center says the API does not use AI credits. It has three plans:

From Photoroom's API pricing page. The per-image price stays the same at every step from 1,000 to 1,000,000 images a month.

The rules that come with it:

• Free to try, no card needed. You get 1,000 sandbox calls a month on the Image Editing API (results are watermarked) and 10 free production calls on the Remove Background API when you create an account.
• Monthly plans only. Annual pricing is for teams above 200,000 images a year, through sales.
• No rollover. Unused images do not carry over to the next month, and moving to a bigger plan mid-month drops what you had left.
• Plans can cross over. A Plus call on the Basic plan is charged at $0.10, and a background removal on the Plus plan at $0.02.
• No refunds for API users, according to Photoroom's refund policy.

Here is how that compares with other product-photo APIs from the same search results:

Pixelcut charges $0.01 per API credit. Claid sells self-serve API credits in a one-time pack of 1,000 for $59 on its API pricing page. remove.bg's pricing page now sends API buyers to Leonardo.ai, so we did not quote a price for it.

App store prices, weekly plans and refunds

• Weekly, monthly or yearly. Photoroom's help center lists all three billing periods and says there is no lifetime subscription. Weekly plans get weekly export limits: 250 on Pro and 750 on Max.
• Where you pay changes the price. On desktop you pay by credit card; on phones you pay through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Apple's US listing shows Photoroom Pro purchases of $5.99, $9.99 and $89.99 and Photoroom Max purchases of $15.99, $34.99 and $249.99, without naming the billing period for each. That may explain why prices such as $9.99 turn up in reviews and forums.
• Refunds within 7 days. Pro, Max and Ultra subscribers can ask for a refund within 7 days of their last payment. It is not guaranteed, and App Store refunds go through Apple.
• Upgrades apply at once. You get the new plan's credits straight away and the billing date resets; downgrades apply at the next renewal.

Is Photoroom worth the money?

For clean cutouts and simple backgrounds at volume, yes. Pro on yearly billing works out at $7.50 for up to 1,000 exports a month, which is under a cent per image if you use them all, and up to 50 people can share it. The monthly plans come to about 1 to 1.3 cents per export at full use.

It gets more expensive when you need more than cutouts. Video starts on Max, AI Fashion Models at 2K start on Max, 4K needs Ultra at $99 a month, and the API is billed on top of any app plan. If your catalog needs on-model product photos, new scenes and ads rather than white backgrounds, compare the alternatives below on what a finished image costs, not on the entry price. Our guide to what product photography costs in 2026 puts those numbers next to studio and freelance rates.

How we checked

We read Photoroom's pricing page, API pricing page and help center, switching between monthly and yearly billing and reading every Ultra tier and API volume step. Photoroom shows prices in the visitor's local currency and says credit allowances vary by country, so we recorded the prices the page lists for the United States. Mobile prices come from Apple's US App Store listing. For the alternatives, we started from the tools in Google's current results for Photoroom pricing and Photoroom alternatives, then read each vendor's own pricing page, saved screenshots, and wrote "see vendor site" wherever a US dollar price was not published. CamClo AI's details come from its own product configuration. We did not run a scored quality test, so there are no quality scores here: try your own products before you commit.

How to choose a Photoroom plan or alternative

• Count exports, not credits. Most sellers run out of exports first. Add up how many images the whole team downloads in a month.
• Check commercial rights. Photoroom's free plan is personal use only, so price in at least Pro if the images will sell anything.
• Match resolution to the channel. Photoroom's export limit covers images up to 2K, and 4K needs Ultra. Marketplaces rarely need 4K; print and zoom-heavy product pages may.
• Keep the API separate in your budget. No Photoroom app plan includes API calls.
• Price the finished image. A cutout on white, an on-model photo and a lifestyle scene cost very different amounts in every tool. Our guide to ecommerce product photography lists which shots a product page needs.
