What our research says

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

  • Pay per shoot instead of a recurring 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
  • The headline prices are a limited-time discount off higher list prices
  • Refunds are conditional on not having downloaded the photos

Fotto AI

Fotto AI does one narrow thing well on paper: turning a handful of selfies into new dating-profile photos, priced as a one-time purchase instead of a subscription. That pricing model suits someone refreshing a profile occasionally rather than a recurring user. The main open question is photo realism and how well the output avoids the uncanny look common to this category, which can't be judged without seeing generated samples.

Pros

  • one-time pricing instead of a recurring subscription
  • credits don't expire once purchased
  • money-back guarantee advertised on both plans
  • fast turnaround, roughly 30-90 seconds per photo

Cons

  • no free tier or sample generation before paying
  • realism and quality can't be verified without generated output to inspect
  • company's exact country wasn't confirmed with certainty
