This guide offers a complete, objective comparison of AVCLabs Video Enhancer AI vs Topaz Video AI to help you choose the right tool. We test upscaling, face recovery, and noise reduction, and explore the best budget-friendly alternative UniFab All-In-One.

Is Topaz Video AI still worth its price in 2026? That's the question almost everyone types into Google before they download the trial — and the answer has shifted a lot in the past six months. In October 2025, Topaz Labs officially ended its perpetual license and moved the entire product to annual subscriptions at $299/year. So the question isn't just "is this software good?" anymore — it's "is this software good enough to keep paying for, year after year, forever?" I spent a full month running Topaz Video AI on real footage. I tested nine of its major AI models on an RTX 4070 + Ryzen 7 5700G rig. I also ran the same clips through UniFab All-In-One — a $319.99 lifetime-license alternative that's become the most-recommended Topaz replacement since the subscription switch.

HitPaw VikPea is the better choice for beginners who want one-click restoration, while Topaz Video AI wins for professionals who need granular control over faces, film grain, and 4K detail. After running both tools through the same upscaling, denoise, and portrait workloads on an RTX 4070 test rig, we also recommend UniFab All-In-One as the balanced $319.99 lifetime alternative that keeps HitPaw's one-click simplicity and matches Topaz on detail quality.
