Need more units mid-month?
Top up 1,000 Scout Units for $1.49 from inside the app. Top-ups never expire — they sit alongside your monthly allowance and get spent after it.
What are Scout Units?
Scout Units are how Photador Cloud counts the AI work you ask it to do. The cloud spends them when you score or critique a frame.
Score a camera thumbnail
Fastest and cheapest, but in low resolution.
Score the same frame at 10× the resolution
More precise, especially on sharpness and noise scoring.
Structured Critique across 9 craft topics
Genre-specific critique with detailed sub-scoring and comments.
Your monthly allowance resets at the start of each billing period. Run out before the reset? Top up 1,000 units for $1.49 — no expiry, used after your monthly allowance is gone.
On-phone AI is unlimited and free on every paid tier. Score offline in the field; save your cloud allowance for the harder calls.
On the phone, in the cloud, or both.
Scout's AI scoring runs in two places — on your phone, or in our cloud. You pick which one in Settings → AI scoring (and can also opt in to a cloud-with-phone-fallback mode for offline gaps).
Free. Offline. Unlimited.
Scout's 5-dimension scoring runs entirely on your phone — no internet, no Scout Units consumed. Older phones may run it slowly or not at all.
Within ±1 star of a frontier model on 86% of frames
Faster and more precise.
A larger model scores faster and at higher precision, and is the only place Critique can run. Cloud work spends Scout Units; your tier sets how many you get each month.
Catches about 4 in 5 technical misses · under 5% false rejections
Critique is always cloud-only — its model is too large for a phone to host.
Accuracy figures come from our internal benchmark: thousands of real frames, each scored repeatedly by a frontier teacher model. The FAQ has the details.

Batch scoring speed compares how many frames Pro and Studio can score in parallel against the Starter/Plus baseline. Most noticeable when you USB-transfer a thousand frames after a shoot and let the cloud rip through them.
