From what I saw I was able to get as good or better noise removal by using Denoise properly, or by using DXO prime noise reduction.
I may not have looked closely at the A.I sharpening it did, but I did not buy it yet.
For many, it is probably worth the price, but I was not moved enough to plunk down my dollars for it at that time.

FWIW - I looked again at A.I. Clear, when I first looked at it it was the first version, Topaz has since updated it and I did see enough of a difference in the results to plunk down my money and add it to my Topaz Studio collection!
I make use of it quite often now vs Denoise, but Denoise does still give more control, so I still use Denoise for some tweaking that A.I. Clear cannot easily do.
