Choose useknockout when

  • You want marketplace-ready product images (square crop, white background, shadow) in one call.
  • You need upscaling, face restoration, colorization, or inpainting alongside removal.
  • You want pay-as-you-go metering instead of sizing a monthly request bundle.

Choose FAPIhub when

  • Your job is plain background removal at very high volume and per-image cost decides it.
  • You want an AI background generator bundled with removal.
  • A monthly request bundle matches your volume.
