AI headshot generators compared
Five tools on price, photos needed, speed, free options and refunds. We make one of them. Every figure about the others was read on their own pages and links to the page it came from.

When one of the others is the better choice
A comparison that only says we win is not worth reading. These are the cases where another tool fits better.
You want a big set in one go
The other four make a batch from one order: 20 to 200 or more photos, depending on the plan. Here you choose the look of each photo, so a large set takes more of your time.
You need 4K files or human retouching
HeadshotPro lists 4K downloads on its $59 plan and BetterPic lists 4K on every paid plan. BetterPic's $79 plan also includes human edits on one photo.
You are buying for a team
HeadshotPro and Aragon both list team plans on their pricing pages. We have no team accounts.
When Headshot Generator AI fits
What is different about making photos one at a time from a few selfies.
You only have a few good selfies
BetterPic asks for 8 to 12 photos and Secta Labs for at least 20. Here, as with HeadshotPro, 1 to 3 are enough.
You want to see results now
A photo takes about a minute, so you can try a look, see it and change it. The batch tools quote 15 minutes to 2 hours for a set, and Secta Labs says up to 24 hours when busy.
You need one or two photos, not a hundred
The smallest pack is $9.99, and new accounts get 5 free credits with no card. The lowest price for a headshot pack from the other four is $29.
