Background removal is expensive if you want quality and precision. The only option today is remove.bg and it’s two times more expensive than this product
I launched this product for my own use, it offers quality of remove.bg with half pricing, and it has free tier. If you’d like to criticize, at least compare with a similar product. Otherwise you’re just trolling.
My other product use this API already for both removal & mask creation (https://x.com/azerkoculu/status/1874021629799416002)
For anyone who wants more reasonable pricing & great results, this is really the best option.
If you want completely free, you can look into client side libraries. Their precision is terrible though. You need a model + GPU infra for proper background removal. And that has cost.
