Why creators leave Magnific
Three reasons creators leave Magnific for Postcrest.
No per-image credits
Magnific is credit-priced. Batch-upscaling 500 product photos burns through Pro plan credits fast. Postcrest is flat-rate — upscale unlimited within plan limits.
Upscale is part of a workflow
You don't only upscale. Postcrest gives you image generation, editing, video and scheduling around the upscaler — the upscaled image lives in a real workflow.
Face-aware portrait upscaling
Postcrest preserves identity through 4× upscale — pair with Custom AI Models for max consistency on personal-brand portrait libraries.

Magnific pros

Magnific cons
- Credit-based pricing — costs add up on bulk catalogs
