Pixlr pricing: $7.99/mo Premium. Surreel: free for 10 edits/mo, $9/mo Pro for 250 edits, $29/mo Ultra unlimited — with annual discounts.
Yes. Surreel runs entirely in the browser on any device. Pixlr also has web access.
Surreel's median edit lands in about 4 seconds thanks to Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. Speed varies on Pixlr depending on plan and queue.
