Questions
What is the cheapest AI headshot generator?
Among the services compared here (checked October 19, 2026), the lowest entry price is Proud Look at $25 · 54 headshots, and the lowest top plan is StudioShot at $43.88 · 120 headshots. Some apps sell single images or subscriptions for less; compare what you get (headshot count, resolution, refund) rather than the sticker price alone.
Which AI headshot generator gives 4K on every plan?
Of the services in this table, BetterPic and Proud Look state 4K on every plan. HeadshotPro states 4K on its $59 Executive plan; Aragon lists 896 × 1088 px below its Executive plan (1792 × 2176 px); Magic Studio says 1024 × 1024 px by default.
Can I get a refund on AI headshots after downloading them?
It depends on the service. Proud Look refunds in full within 7 days even after a download. Aragon's full refund applies before you download (after that, case by case); BetterPic says no refund once images are downloaded; Magic Studio refunds if you got fewer than 4 decent headshots and downloaded none.
How much do AI headshots cost compared with a photographer?
The plans compared here run from about $25 to $79. A studio headshot session in a large US city usually costs a few hundred dollars; see our city pages for sourced local studio prices.
Is this comparison neutral?
No comparison written by a vendor is fully neutral: Proud Look runs this page. That's why it only lists facts each company publishes on its own pricing page, with links and the date we checked, and leaves quality to you: look at each service's samples and use its preview or refund.
