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

HeadshotPro

The right pick when you need a whole remote team photographed consistently without flying anyone to a studio. For a single person, a real photographer still wins on hands, glasses and hair.

Pros

  • Admin-locked templates keep a team's photos visually consistent
  • Roughly 30-minute turnaround against weeks to schedule a photographer
  • Volume discounts drop per-person cost sharply above six seats
  • Explicit 30-day deletion policy on uploaded source photos

Cons

  • Pay-per-batch means a disappointing run costs money to redo
  • Output still shows the usual generative tells around hands, jewellery and eyewear
  • No subscription, so repeat users pay full price each time
  • Likeness quality is uneven across skin tones and hairstyles

Which one fits

Choose Aragon AI if you need

  • Professionals who need a LinkedIn-grade portrait without booking a photographer
  • Small teams wanting visually consistent staff photos
  • One-off use where a monthly subscription makes no sense

Choose HeadshotPro if you need

  • Distributed teams standardising an about page or LinkedIn grid
  • Agencies refreshing staff photos after headcount changes
  • Founders who need a press-ready portrait the same day
  • People whose only usable photos are phone selfies
