  "why": "The professional standard for restoring real footage and photographs rather than inventing new ones - denoising archival video, taking 1080p masters to 4K, rescuing soft scans. Desktop apps render locally, so there is no upload cap or per-image cloud fee.",
  "warn": "<b>Perpetual licences were discontinued in September 2025</b>; it is subscription-only now and old keys stop receiving model updates. Standard plans limit commercial use to organisations under $1M annual revenue - full commercial rights require a Pro tier.",
