AutoHDR's figures were taken from their own published pricing in September 2026, in US dollars; prices change and promotional rates come and go, so check theirs before deciding. A dash means we could not verify a figure and would rather leave it blank than guess. Toriva's side is read directly from the product's own price list.
When AutoHDR is the better choice
- You shoot JPEG brackets. Toriva merges RAW brackets, not JPEG ones.
- You have a large back catalogue already processed there and consistency with it matters more than price.
- You only need HDR merging and nothing else on the list above. Paying for a broader toolkit would be waste.
The same listing, priced on both sides
A 30-photo shoot with the edits a listing usually needs: a few skies, some window pulls, two rooms staged, two twilight heroes. Toriva's figures come from the credit list at plan rates; AutoHDR's from their published prices.

Before you
switch
Do I pay again to download an edit?
No. A credit covers the edit and the download. There is no separate export charge and no watermark on paid output.Can Toriva merge my brackets?
Yes, from RAW. Upload the brackets straight from the camera (NEF, CR3, ARW, DNG and the other common RAW formats) and each set is merged into one HDR photo, free, before the sky, windows, lawn, clutter, twilight and staging. JPEG brackets are not merged yet; upload one blended frame for those.What happens if an edit does nothing?
An edit that changes nothing is not charged. A declutter on a tidy room, a window pull with no blown-out glass or a perspective pass on an already straight frame ends as a no-op and its credits go back to your balance automatically. An edit that fails is refunded the same way. A job is charged once, at the rate of its most expensive edit: a sky replacement and a declutter on the same frame is one 2-credit job, not two charges. Fireplace and TV screens are separate tools and add 1 credit each on top.Is there a subscription?
Yes. Plans start at $15 a month for 30 credits. You can cancel at any time; the plan and the credits in your balance stay usable until the end of the billing period you have paid for.
