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

Magik Face

A credit-based portrait generator with a fast personal-model training step and a wide style catalogue, plus short video as an extra. Paying per pack rather than per month suits occasional use. The vendor is entirely anonymous and the refund terms are tight, which is a lot of trust to place in a prepaid balance.

Pros

  • Personal face model trains in around two minutes
  • Wide catalogue of portrait styles from one trained model
  • Short animated video generation included, not a separate product
  • Prepaid credits with no subscription lock-in
  • Entry pack is $9.99, so trying it is cheap

Cons

  • No legal entity, country or governing law published, even in the terms
  • Credits are non-refundable outside billing errors, with a 14-day claim window
  • Uploading face photos to an anonymous vendor is a real privacy trade
  • No API and no mobile app

Which one fits
