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

Portrait Studio Pro

For the price of a coffee run, buyers get a batch of headshot variations across several backdrops without booking a photographer, which is the entire value proposition here. Like every AI headshot generator, results depend heavily on the quality of the source selfies, and the operating company behind the site isn't named anywhere.

Pros

  • Low one-time price relative to a professional photographer
  • Multiple backdrop styles included even at the cheapest tier
  • Fast turnaround (1-2 hours) and full commercial usage rights on the output

Cons

  • No company name, founder or location is disclosed anywhere on the site
  • Result quality depends heavily on the input selfies, which the site doesn't control for
  • Only a 14-day refund window, with no visible option to regenerate a bad batch first
