Aragon AI vs Fotoria

Aragon AI

Aragon is the most mainstream of the AI headshot services and the pay-once model beats renting a subscription you will use twice a year. The catch is that its posted prices are promotional and the refund policy evaporates the moment you download a photo — which is exactly when you find out whether the likeness worked.

Pros

• +One-off packs available alongside monthly plans, so a single shoot needs no subscription
• +Editor covers clothing, background, expression and upscaling after generation
• +SOC 2 Type II compliance stated, which matters for team photo uploads
• +Free reshoot offered before the refund route is used

Cons

• −Basic and Standard output is 896 x 1088, which is thin for print
• −Pack prices have jumped since the summer promotion: the entry pack is now $35
• −Refunds are conditional on not having downloaded the photos

Fotoria

A no-subscription headshot generator: you pay once for a fixed image count and get results back inside half an hour. The output ceiling is 1024 x 1024 unless you spend upscale credits, and the operator behind it is anonymous, which matters when you are handing over face photos.

Pros

• +Priced per package, so nothing renews behind your back
• +Delivery quoted at under 30 minutes on every tier, not just the top one
• +Commercial rights and a refund guarantee stated on the pricing page
• +Uploads deleted 30 days after the job, per the site

Cons

• −Base resolution is 1024 x 1024 and upscaling burns credits
• −No company name, address or country published anywhere
• −Style count is capped per tier, so re-shoots mean buying up
