Every number in this table was read off each company's own pricing page on 31 August 2026. Prices change; if you find one that has, tell us and we will correct it.

The difference that is not on the price list

Every other row in that table trains a model on your face. That is why they ask for ten or fifteen photographs and why you wait between half an hour and two: a small model is being fitted to you, and then run.

We do not do that. The model reads your face from a reference at the moment it makes each picture and keeps nothing — so there is no model of you sitting on a server afterwards, nothing to delete, and no half hour of training to sit through. It is also why forty portraits come back in minutes.

What ours look like

Every portrait on this site was made by the thing we sell — including these, and including the faces on the team page, none of whom were ever in the same room.

If InstaHeadshots is what you want, buy InstaHeadshots — this page will still be here. If what you want is forty usable portraits by the end of your coffee, that is us.

Questions people actually ask

Is still. cheaper than InstaHeadshots?
Ours is $24 for 40 portraits. Theirs, on the day we checked, was $49 for 50 headshots. Both numbers came off the public pricing pages and both can change.
Why is there no waiting time?
Because nothing is being trained. InstaHeadshots fits a small model to your face first, which is the 15–60 minutes you spend waiting.
Do you keep my photographs?
The photographs you upload are deleted within thirty days automatically, and there is a button on your own page that deletes them immediately. There is no model of your face to delete, because none was made.
Can I use these on LinkedIn, a CV, a passport?
LinkedIn and a CV, yes — that is what they are for. Not a passport: every country requires an unedited photograph taken to a specification, and no AI portrait qualifies.
