We make Headshot Plus, so we have a direct stake in how this comparison reads. That's exactly why we're naming where HeadshotPro beats us, not just where we beat them. Everything below comes from each company's own published pricing, security, and FAQ pages — not marketing copy, and not guesswork.
01 · Fourteen features, side by side
Neither tool wins across the board — the "winner" column below is genuinely mixed, which is the whole point of this comparison.
| Feature | Headshot Plus | HeadshotPro | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $19 (Starter) | $29 (Basic) | Headshot Plus |
| Top individual tier | $29 (Professional) | $59 (Executive) | Depends on budget |
| Photos required to upload | 1 | Typically 6–20 (varies by review) | Headshot Plus |
| Turnaround at $29 price point | 30 minutes | ~2 hours | Headshot Plus |
| Fastest turnaround overall | 30 minutes ($29 tier) | 15 minutes ($59 tier) | HeadshotPro |
| Headshots delivered | 8 or 20 | 30, 50, or 70 | HeadshotPro |
| Style library | 60 styles, 5 categories | "Thousands," per HeadshotPro's own site | HeadshotPro |
| 4K resolution downloads | Not specified | Executive tier only | HeadshotPro |
| Team / enterprise plan | Contact sales, no public details | Full self-serve Team tier + custom Enterprise | HeadshotPro |
| SSO / SOC 2 / DPA | Not published | Yes, available to any customer | HeadshotPro |
| API / integrations | None published | REST API, Zapier, webhooks (Team+) | HeadshotPro |
| Money-back guarantee | Yes — no questions asked, 14 days | Yes — "Realism Guarantee," redo or refund | Tie |
| Input photo deletion | 7 days | 30 days | Headshot Plus |
| Public reviews | None found yet (new site) | 4.7★, 3,525+ on Trustpilot | HeadshotPro |
Count the winners and HeadshotPro takes more rows — but that's a function of HeadshotPro being a larger, older, more built-out platform, not evidence that it's the better pick for every buyer. The next two sections explain why each win actually matters, and to whom.
02 · Where Headshot Plus wins
All five come from a single underlying advantage: we're built for one person, fast — not for scale.
PRICING — Lower cost of entry
Our Starter plan is $19 for 8 headshots — there's no equivalent price point on HeadshotPro, whose cheapest package is $29 for 30 headshots. If you just want a handful of decent photos and don't want to commit $29+, we're the only one of the two that gets you in under $20. That said, look at cost-per-photo, not just sticker price: at $19 for 8 images we work out to roughly $2.38 per headshot, while HeadshotPro's $29 tier (30 headshots) is closer to $0.97 per headshot. We win on lowest total spend; HeadshotPro wins on value density.
SIMPLICITY — You only need one photo
We require just one uploaded selfie. HeadshotPro doesn't publish an exact number, but independent reviews report needing anywhere from 6 to 20 selfies to get a well-trained result. That gap matters twice over: convenience — finding one good photo is real friction, finding ten-plus is more — and privacy, since fewer uploaded photos of your face is a smaller footprint by definition, regardless of how good either company's deletion policy is.
SPEED — Faster turnaround at the same price
At the identical $29 price point, our Professional tier delivers in 30 minutes. HeadshotPro's Basic tier, also $29, takes about 2 hours. Getting HeadshotPro's 30-minute speed means moving up to their $39 tier — $10 more than what gets you that same turnaround with us. The honest trade-off: their $39 tier also gives you 50 headshots to our 20, plus a free 14-day redo we don't separately advertise.
PRIVACY — Faster deletion of your raw photo
Both companies say they never train AI models on your photos — that part's a wash. But we delete the actual selfie you uploaded after 7 days; HeadshotPro holds both input photos and results for 30 days. If minimizing how long a company keeps the literal photo of your face is your priority, our 7-day window is meaningfully tighter.
SIMPLICITY — Fewer decisions to make
We offer 60 curated styles across five categories. HeadshotPro's own marketing describes "thousands." More options sound like an advantage, and for some users they are — but a smaller, curated set also means less decision fatigue and less time scrolling near-identical backdrops before picking one. Whether this counts as a win depends entirely on whether you want maximum choice or a faster decision.
03 · Where HeadshotPro wins
These mostly trace back to one thing: HeadshotPro is older, larger, and built for scale in a way we currently aren't.
TEAMS — Team and enterprise tooling
This is the biggest gap between the two products, and it's not close. HeadshotPro has a full Team tier: an admin dashboard, bulk invites with automatic reminders, bulk download, CSV export of who's completed their shoot, and admin-curated style pools so every employee's photo matches — plus a genuine Enterprise tier with SSO, SCIM provisioning, a signed MSA, and Net-30 invoicing. They also publish a SOC 2 Type II report and a DPA available to any customer. We currently offer none of this in any self-serve or documented form; our only team option is "Contact Sales" with no published pricing. If you're buying for more than a handful of people, this category alone probably decides it.
VARIETY — Style and backdrop variety
HeadshotPro's own site describes access to "thousands" of style combinations, versus our 60. If you specifically want the widest possible range of looks — different industries, settings, outfit combinations — HeadshotPro has the deeper library.
TRUST — Track record and independent reviews
HeadshotPro holds a 4.7-star rating across more than 3,500 reviews on Trustpilot, plus published case studies from named business customers. We launched more recently and don't yet have a public review base of comparable size. That says nothing about output quality directly, but for a lot of buyers — especially companies deciding on behalf of a whole team — a multi-year track record and thousands of independent reviews meaningfully lower the perceived risk of trying something new.
VOLUME — More photos and higher resolution at the top end
At its highest tier ($59), HeadshotPro delivers 70 headshots in about 15 minutes, with 4K downloads and both portrait and landscape formats. Our top tier ($29) caps at 20 headshots, with no published option to go higher. If you want the largest possible batch or genuinely print-ready resolution, HeadshotPro's ceiling is higher.
SAFETY NET — A dedicated free-redo feature
HeadshotPro's Professional and Executive tiers include an explicit free redo within 14 days if you're not satisfied — separate from, and in addition to, their money-back guarantee. Our refund policy covers dissatisfaction generally, but we don't advertise a distinct "try again for free" mechanism the way they do.
04 · Where it's basically a tie
Money-back guarantees
We offer a no-questions-asked refund within 14 days if you don't get a single profile-worthy headshot. HeadshotPro's "Realism Guarantee" promises a redo or full refund if results don't look like you. Both are genuinely strong — the mechanics differ slightly, neither has a clear edge.
No AI training on your photos
Both companies explicitly state your uploaded photos are never used to train external AI models. This is table stakes at this point for any AI photo tool worth using, and both meet the bar.
Commercial usage rights
Both platforms include full commercial licensing on the headshots you generate — LinkedIn, your company site, resumes, wherever you need them — without extra licensing fees.
05 · Which one should you pick
The honest test is simple: are you buying for one person, or for a team? That question alone points you to the right tool faster than any single feature above.
| If you are… | Pick… |
|---|---|
| A solo job seeker on a tight budget | Headshot Plus — $19 entry, one photo, 30-minute turnaround |
| An HR or marketing lead outfitting 20+ people | HeadshotPro — admin dashboard, SOC 2, per-seat discounts |
| Someone who wants the widest style selection | HeadshotPro — on raw variety alone |
| Privacy-conscious about uploading personal photos | Headshot Plus — one photo, 7-day input deletion |
| Wanting the largest batch or print-ready 4K output | HeadshotPro — Executive tier is the only option here |
| Wanting the fastest turnaround for the least money | Headshot Plus — beats HeadshotPro's $29 tier on speed |
- Buying for yourself, fast, on a budget → Headshot Plus
- Buying for a team, or need compliance paperwork → HeadshotPro
- Want the widest possible style library → HeadshotPro
- Want the fewest photos uploaded and the shortest retention window → Headshot Plus
Is Headshot Plus cheaper than HeadshotPro?
At the entry level, yes — $19 vs $29. But per photo, HeadshotPro's $29 tier (30 headshots) is actually cheaper per image than our $19 tier (8 headshots). Which one is "cheaper" depends on whether you're optimizing for total spend or cost per photo.
Which one is faster?
At matching $29 price points, Headshot Plus (30 minutes) is faster than HeadshotPro's Basic tier (about 2 hours). HeadshotPro's fastest option overall is its $59 Executive tier at about 15 minutes.
Do either of them offer team plans?
HeadshotPro has a fully built-out Team and Enterprise tier with admin tools, SSO, and compliance documentation. We currently only offer a "Contact Sales" option for teams, with no published pricing or feature set.
How many photos do I need to upload?
We require just one. HeadshotPro doesn't publish an exact number, but independent testing generally reports needing 6 to 20 selfies for a well-trained result.
Do they keep my photos forever?
No — both delete uploaded photos automatically. We delete input photos after 7 days and generated headshots after 30 days. HeadshotPro deletes both inputs and results after 30 days, with download links for kept photos expiring after 7 days.
Which one has better reviews?
HeadshotPro has a substantial, verifiable public review base — 4.7 stars across more than 3,500 Trustpilot reviews. We don't yet have a comparable public review history, simply because we're a newer platform.
