As of , EffectHub tracks 13 tools for AI headshots; 2 of the 13 have a free tier, and paid plans run from $7.90 to $25 a month.
Magic Studio Headshots, Fotto AI and CubistAI lead the list on click-through.
AI headshot generators take a dozen phone selfies and return studio-style portraits in different outfits, backgrounds and lighting. The results range from indistinguishable from a photo shoot to slightly wrong faces, and the difference is mostly the quality and variety of the photos you upload. Because the output is usually a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, the things to compare are price per batch, turnaround, how many usable images you get, and what happens to your photos afterwards.
