Best for upscaling and restoring video and photos on a desktop
AVCLabs sells separate AI tools: desktop apps for Windows and Mac that upscale video and restore photos, a cloud video enhancer, and a browser editor. Each product is priced on its own, from $9.95 for the cloud tool to $39.95 for the desktop video app. The refund policy mentions a trial whose terms aren't stated.

Keep AVCLabs, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AVCLabs you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $119.40 a year.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- A video editor.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. AVCLabs’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
