What our research says

Face26

A reasonable pick for rescuing old family photos when you want a result in one click and do not care about control. For commercial retouching, the absent parameter control and the trial-to-subscription billing make it a poor fit.

Pros

  • Restoration, upscaling, colorization and background removal all sit behind one account
  • Real native apps on both iOS and Android rather than a mobile web wrapper
  • Free credits let you test output on your own photo before committing

Cons

  • No API and no batch automation
  • Each operation is a fixed preset with essentially no control over strength or region
  • Pricing is not published on the marketing site; you have to reach the payment screen to see it
  • Operated by a Wyoming LLC with no named team, which limits support recourse

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
