The short version

  • Only Photopea has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Loox beyond plan review volume, overage billing adds $40 to $50 per extra 300 orders processed; Photopea performance becomes sluggish and prone to crashes with high-resolution images or multi-layered files
