Photoroom is the online seller's tool: photograph a product, cut it out cleanly, drop it on an acceptable background, process five hundred references at once. Its batch processing is excellent and so is its mobile app.
The pricing is gentle: free with a watermark and no commercial use, Pro around $7.50 a month annually, Max at $20.99, Ultra from $82.50 for volume, enterprise on request.
Imaginode approaches the same need from the other end: rather than cutting out a product and choosing a background, it generates the whole scene around the imported object. The product photo page and the change a photo background page show both approaches.
