Claid.ai plans and credit costs from claid.ai/pricing, checked on 10 November 2026, in USD. Claid cents per task use the Pro plan ($35 for 2,000 credits); Sizzle cents use its credit packs. We make Sizzle. Claid.ai is a trademark of its owner and we are not affiliated with it.
A credit is not the same size everywhere.
Claid.ai sells monthly credit plans. Essentials includes 500 credits a month, and Pro includes 2,000 for $35, which works out at 1.75 cents a credit. Each task then costs a set number of credits.
Sizzle counts in credits too, but a pack never renews. One credit costs 0.82 to 0.9 cents depending on the pack, and a photo task takes 2 or 5 of them.
So compare the price of the task you actually need, not the number of credits on the label.
Background removal costs about the same in both: roughly 1.75 cents on Claid Pro and 1.6 to 1.8 cents on Sizzle packs. The difference is that Sizzle adds a 4× upscale for the same 2 credits.

Moving a catalogue over.
- Install Sizzle on your store platform: Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Shoper, PrestaShop or Base.
- Run a test batch of ten photos and put the results next to your Claid output.
- Keep the originals: they stay on the product until you choose to replace them.
- Decide on the whole catalogue only when the test batch looks right.
