What our research says

Aiarty Image Enhancer

A conventional desktop upscaler competing on price and on the fact that it is a licence rather than a credit meter — once bought, batch size is limited by your machine, not by a balance. The lifetime option at $99 undercuts the annual plan within two years, which makes the $75 yearly tier hard to justify. Local processing also means nothing is uploaded, which matters for client work.

Pros

  • Runs locally, so nothing is uploaded and batch size depends on your hardware
  • Upscaling up to 32K with denoise, deblur, sharpen and face restoration in one tool
  • Lifetime licence at $99 with updates for life, covering three machines
  • From Digiarty Software, a Chengdu developer active since 2006 rather than an anonymous brand

Cons

  • Windows and Mac licences are separate purchases with no cross-activation
  • The $75 annual plan auto-renews and is poor value against the $99 lifetime option
  • No API and no web version, so it cannot be scripted into a server pipeline
  • Free download limits exports rather than being a usable free tier

Let's Enhance

The safe browser-based choice when you need resolution for print and do not want to install Topaz or babysit a local upscaler; it is priced per image, so it punishes high-volume use.

Pros

  • Credit rollover up to six months' worth is more forgiving than the usual use-it-or-lose-it model
  • Distinct tools per job (sharpen, restore, unblur, upscale) instead of one catch-all slider
  • Documented API with separate enhancer and upscaler endpoints for production use
  • Running since 2017, so the model quality has had many iterations behind it

Cons

  • Free tier is 10 signup credits and stamps a watermark on output
  • One credit per image makes bulk catalogue work costly next to a one-off desktop licence
  • Top personal plan is 500 credits at $45/month, which is a low ceiling for agencies
  • Newer generative upscalers produce more dramatic detail on heavily degraded sources
