The biggest difference
The biggest difference is how you pay. On Pebblely, one plan gives you a fixed number of images: 30, 200 or 500 a month. On Claid, every action costs credits: an AI photoshoot costs 4 credits (10 at Studio quality), background removal costs 1, and upscaling costs 2 to 8. So 500 Claid credits buy about 125 AI photoshoots, or 500 background removals. Pebblely is easier to budget for scenes; Claid is more flexible if you mix many kinds of edits.
