How to Buy Topaz Labs Software: Plans, Products, and Checkout Paths

Updated

Topaz Labs sells its AI photo and video enhancement tools through a single pricing page at topazlabs.com/pricing, with checkout handled at topazlabs.com/checkout. You can buy individual desktop apps (Topaz Photo, Topaz Video, Topaz Gigapixel), web-based tools (Topaz for Web – Image and Topaz for Web – Video), and a mobile app (Topaz for Mobile). Cloud Credits are a separate purchasing option for cloud-based processing, and enterprise or commercial licensing goes through a "Contact sales" path rather than self-serve checkout.

What you can buy

The site organizes products into four purchase categories, each with its own "Buy" link:

Category Products What it's for
Desktop Apps Topaz Photo, Topaz Video, Topaz Gigapixel Local AI models, with cloud options
Topaz for Web Topaz for Web – Image, Topaz for Web – Video Browser-based enhancement
Mobile Topaz for Mobile AI models and workflows on iPhone
Enterprise API, Starlight, custom solutions Pro and commercial use, production workflows

Desktop apps are described as running "local and in the cloud," so a desktop purchase may still involve cloud processing depending on the task. The web apps are positioned as "quick fix and enhance" tools in the cloud, covering tasks like unblur, faces, lighting, sharpen, video upscale, and bloom.

Where pricing and checkout live

Two links drive the transaction flow:

  • Pricing — topazlabs.com/pricing, where plans and pricing are listed.
  • Checkout — topazlabs.com/checkout, where the purchase is completed.

The site also exposes a Cloud Credits link in its navigation, which is the purchasing mechanism for cloud-based processing rather than a one-time product license. If your work is primarily cloud-based (web apps or cloud processing inside desktop apps), Cloud Credits are the relevant purchase; if you want the desktop applications themselves, you buy the product.

Choosing between self-serve and sales-assisted purchase

  • Self-serve checkout fits individual buyers and small teams who want a specific app or web tool. Follow Pricing → select product → Buy → Checkout.
  • Contact sales fits enterprise, pro, and commercial use, including API access and Starlight. The site routes these buyers to a sales conversation rather than a cart, which usually means custom terms, volume licensing, or production-workflow requirements.

Practical steps to buy

  1. Go to topazlabs.com/pricing to see the current plans and product tiers.
  2. Decide which surface you need: desktop app, web app, mobile, or enterprise.
  3. Click Buy on the product you want (each product card has its own Buy link).
  4. Complete the purchase at topazlabs.com/checkout.
  5. If you need cloud processing capacity, add or manage Cloud Credits separately.
  6. If you need commercial, API, or production-scale licensing, use Contact sales instead of checkout.

Common sticking points

  • Desktop vs. cloud are not the same purchase. A desktop app license and Cloud Credits are separate line items; buying one doesn't automatically cover the other.
  • Web and mobile are their own products. Topaz for Web – Image, Topaz for Web – Video, and Topaz for Mobile each have their own Buy links, so don't assume a desktop purchase includes them.
  • Enterprise isn't self-serve. API, Starlight, and custom solutions go through sales contact, not the checkout page.
  • Pricing changes. Because the site lists plans on a dedicated pricing page, check it directly rather than relying on cached numbers.

If you tell me which workflow you have in mind — for example, batch upscaling stills, cleaning up video, or editing on an iPhone — I can point to the specific product and purchase path that fits.
