Yes, and you don't need a card. There are two free ways to test before you commit: a monthly sandbox allowance on the Image Editing API, and free production calls on the Remove Background API when you create an account.

1,000 sandbox calls a month on the Image Editing API. Sandbox results are watermarked, so you can build and test the full workflow end to end before you go live. No card, no commitment.

Yes. Create an account and you get 10 free production calls on the Remove Background API. These are not watermarked, so you can ship a real result and see the output quality you'll get in production.

Sandbox calls are for building and testing: you get 1,000 a month on the Image Editing API, and the output carries a watermark. Production calls return a clean, watermark-free image. Your first 10 production calls on the Remove Background API are free with an account; after that you move to a paid plan.

Yes.

• If you’re on the Basic Plan (which is Remove Background API) and make a Plus call (which is the Image Editing API), you’ll be charged the Plus price per image of $0.10.
