| # | Tool | Pricing | Best For | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 🥈 | Remove.bg | Free (low-res) / $1.99 per image | Quick low-res cutouts | Reliable for simple subjects but struggles with fine hair and glass. |
| 🥉 | Photoroom | Free (watermark) / $9.99/mo | E-commerce sellers who also need templates | Great ecosystem but the watermark on free tier is a deal-breaker for many. |
| #4 | Canva Background Remover | Canva Pro $12.99/mo | Canva users who already have a Pro subscription | Convenient if you're already in Canva, but not worth subscribing just for this. |
| #5 | Adobe Firefly Remove Background | Creative Cloud $20.99/mo | Adobe users in existing workflow | Quality matches GPT Image 2 but requires expensive subscription. |
