# How we review

Bijgewerkt: 22-09-2026 · Versie: 22-09-2026

**Kort antwoord:** We assess every tool on five weighted criteria: privacy and security (30%), quality of the result (25%), price and free tier (20%), speed (15%), support and transparency (10%). How we review, Versie 22-09-2026. The criteria, their weight and the protocol behind every score on this site. Last updated: 22-09-2026.

## Wat regelt «Criteria and the weight of the score»?

Privacy and security 30% Policy on deletion of data, encryption, anonymous payment methods, consent requirements and the absence of intrusive trackers. This weighs heaviest: a serious failing here caps the final score. Policy on deletion of data, encryption, anonymous payment methods, consent requirements and the absence of intrusive trackers. This weighs heaviest: a serious

failing here caps the final score. Quality of the result 25% Realism, consistency between jobs, highest resolution and the share of unusable results across the same test scenarios. Realism, consistency between jobs, highest resolution and the share of unusable results across the same test scenarios. Price and free tier 20% Actual cost per result, the existence of a verifiable

free tier, clear billing and the absence of hidden costs. Actual cost per result, the existence of a verifiable free tier, clear billing and the absence of hidden costs. Speed 15% Average turnaround on the free and on the paid tier, measured at the same times of day. Average turnaround on the free and on the paid tier, measured at the same times of day. Support and

transparency 10% Real contact channels, response times, complete legal pages and clarity about who operates the service. Real contact channels, response times, complete legal pages and clarity about who operates the service. Every test follows these five criteria in the same order, so that scores stay comparable between tools.

## Wat regelt «A fixed test protocol»?

Our own sign-up. We create our own accounts and pay for subscriptions out of editorial funds; we do not use access offered by a provider. Material with consent. The tests use only photos of the editorial team or of adults who gave explicit written consent, as Responsible AI requires. Identical scenarios. We run the same set of scenarios on every tool: the same kinds of source

image, the same default settings and repeated timings. Verification of documents. We check prices, free-tier limits, payment methods and privacy statements directly on the provider's site, on the date of the test. Dated test note. The result appears as an editorial note with a visible date («Last test») and a weighted score; later changes are recorded at the reassessment.

## Wat regelt «Direct penalty points»?

Besides the five criteria we deduct points directly when we see practices that harm the user, however good the tool otherwise is: hidden subscriptions or renewals that are hard to cancel; an announced «free tier» that does not exist in practice; prices that differ between the public page and the checkout screen; no policy on deletion of data, or support that does not respond;

communication that encourages using photos of third parties without consent — that excludes the tool from the catalogue.

## Wat regelt «Editorial independence»?

Some «Visit» links in the catalogue are affiliate links: if you open a tool through our link and take out a subscription, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. That income pays for the test accounts and the editorial team's time. Scores and ordering follow solely from the weighted formula; no provider can buy a position . We also test tools without an affiliate

programme, using the same protocol. Every page with affiliate links shows a visible disclosure beside the ranking. Errors we find are corrected and recorded at the next reassessment; you can write to us through Contact .

## Wat regelt «FAQ about the method»?

Do affiliate commissions influence the scores?

## Do affiliate commissions influence the scores?

No. The weights and the protocol are the same for tools with and without an affiliate programme. Positions in the ranking are not for sale and no payment changes an editorial score. Which photos does the editorial team test with?

## Which photos does the editorial team test with?

Only with photos of the editorial team or of adults who gave explicit written consent. We never use imagery of third parties without consent; that requirement applies to every assessment. How often are the scores updated?

## Wat zegt het Nederlandse recht?

Welke tool ook wordt gebruikt, voor intiem beeld geldt hetzelfde verbod:

> «Met gevangenisstraf of geldboete wordt gestraft hij die opzettelijk en wederrechtelijk van een persoon een afbeelding van seksuele aard openbaar maakt, terwijl hij weet of redelijkerwijs moet vermoeden dat die openbaarmaking nadelig voor die persoon kan zijn.»
