Remove Your Ex verdict
Remove Your Ex is the right pick for someone who has a handful of personal photos to clean up and wants to skip Photoshop entirely. It does one thing and keeps the workflow genuinely simple, but at $2.99 per single photo it gets expensive fast for anyone with more than a few edits to make, and Canva's broader AI toolkit covers similar ground for users who already pay for a design subscription. Anyone needing batch processing, fine-grained inpainting control, or a free trial should look elsewhere.
Strengths
No masking or brushing required: plain-language person selection works for complex multi-person shots where you need to keep some people and remove others.
Credit-based pricing with no expiry and automatic credit refunds for failed edits reduces the risk of paying for a result that does not work.
Weaknesses
No free tier and no free trial: new accounts start with zero credits, so buyers must pay before seeing a single result on their own photos.
The 20-edit-per-day cap and single-person-removal focus mean the tool cannot handle bulk cleanup jobs or remove multiple people from one photo in a single operation.
Sumi - AI Manga Translator verdict
Sumi is the right pick for a reader who wants to follow Japanese, Korean, or Chinese titles without waiting for official translations, and who cares that the page still looks like a manga page rather than a document with text boxes pasted over it. The free tier is genuinely usable at 5 claimable pages per day, but the web and iOS subscriptions are completely separate, so a reader who switches between phone and browser will pay twice. Anyone who needs bulk export for fan releases or wants a tool that works across every device under one subscription should look elsewhere.
Strengths
Inpainting-plus-retypesetting pipeline produces pages that look drawn rather than overlaid, including vertical Japanese bubble layouts, which most generic image translators do not handle.
Tested and confirmed working on 110 named manga publisher sites, with the Chrome extension translating pages in place on sites like Shonen Jump+ and MANGA Plus without any file upload.
Weaknesses
Web and iOS subscriptions are completely separate with no shared page balance, meaning a reader who uses both the browser and the iPhone app must pay for two independent plans.
Source language support is limited to Japanese, Korean, and Chinese; there is no path to translate, say, a French or Italian doujinshi into English, even though the site mentions such use cases in its marketing copy.
