Which should you choose?

If instead you care more about old photo restoration, portrait cleanup, colourising family pictures and video sharpening, go with Remini. For most people, trying both on a free tier is the fastest way to decide - they serve the same AI Everyday & Lifestyle space but differ in workflow and output style.
