Cutout Pro Pricing Explained and Compared to Alternatives
Cutout Pro looks cheap on paper: a few dollars a month and a free starter balance. The catch is the credit system. What you pay depends on how many credits each task burns, not how many photos you upload. Here’s what the plans cost, who they suit, and where to remove them. BG and Photoroom beat it.
How Cutout Pro Pricing Works
New accounts get 5 free credits with no credit card required. After that, you choose between two routes. Subscriptions start at $5 for 40 credits a month, while pay-as-you-go packs begin at $2.99 for three credits. Subscribers also get rollover credits and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
One warning. Listings disagree on whether pay-as-you-go credits expire. One directory says they last forever, while a separate review says they expire. Check the checkout terms before buying a large pack.
Subscription tiers as listed by a software directory (verify on the official page):
| Credits/month | Price | Per credit |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | $5.00 | $0.125 |
| 100 | $9.90 | $0.099 |
| 200 | $16.90 | $0.084 |
| 400 | $29.00 | $0.072 |
| 800 | $49.00 | $0.061 |

Cutout Pro vs. remove. bg
remove. bg sells 40 HD removals for $9, 200 for $39, and 500 for $89. Cutout Pro is cheaper at every comparable tier. Its 200-credit plan is $16.90. But cheaper isn’t automatically better. Independent testing still ranks. bg highest for accuracy, with the cleanest hair edges. Fewer manual touch-ups save real time.
My read of the numbers: for product shots with clean edges, Cutout Pro’s price wins. For portraits with flyaway hair, remove it. bg earns its premium.
Cutout Pro vs. Photoroom
Photoroom skips credits and charges a flat monthly fee. Sources quote Pro anywhere from $9.99 to $12.99 a month, with batch mode included. One analysis puts the break-even for resellers at roughly 30 to 50 photos a month, after which a flat fee beats per-image pricing. Photoroom also leans toward e-commerce staging and templates.
Cutout Pro’s own site highlights GIF and video background removal as an advantage over Photoroom. That’s a vendor claim, so test it yourself.
Which Plan Fits You
- Under 20 images a month: use the free credits, then a small pay-as-you-go pack.
- 30 to 100 images: a Cutout Pro subscription or Photoroom’s flat fee if you want batch editing.
- Developers: remove.bg and Photoroom both have mature APIs, and Cutout Pro offers API access on credit plans.
