Free access and paid plans
FaceIQ's plan guide lists a Free tier with side-profile scoring and ten harmony ratios. Basic is $24.99 monthly or $119.88 yearly; Pro is $49.99 monthly or $239.88 yearly. The yearly total is charged upfront, and paid plans renew until cancelled. Its guide also lists quarterly options. These are different billing commitments, so multiplying the monthly price by twelve would miss the listed yearly option.
The continuing Free tier is different from a paid-plan trial. FaceIQ's current terms describe selected promotional trials separately from ongoing free access.
RealSmile's free scan shows your Face Score and strongest available measurement before a purchase. Daily allowances are 1 anonymously, 5 with a free account, 15 with the report and unlimited on Pro. The optional standard-price $14.99 report adds supported measurements, a four-week photo plan and PDF; length varies with the output. Pro is separate. The sample report shows the format before you decide.
What the results mean
FaceIQ's product page describes front and side analysis, ongoing comparisons and planning tools. Its accuracy guide explains how to review and adjust misplaced landmarks. That editing control is a useful distinction if inspecting the points is part of your workflow.
RealSmile's Face Score is a learned prediction, reported against its reference benchmark. The separate Measurement Map calculates 17 measurements and shows the ones the photo supports, typically 15. The validation page explains the evaluation population and limits. Geometry is not combined into a validated attractiveness verdict.
More points or ratios do not by themselves establish better accuracy. RealSmile's standard scan uses a front-facing photo; it does not reliably establish a true gonial angle from that view. Our separate experimental landmark preview is not a validated replacement for the production score. Neither provider's number determines how a particular person will see you.
Photos, history and human ratings
FaceIQ's privacy policy describes storing uploaded photos and analysis history, with deletion controls. It requires separate permission for model training. RealSmile is private by default: processing a scan and choosing to save or publicly contribute a photo are separate actions. Read each product's policy before uploading.
If your goal is feedback from people, Human Score explains our raw vote average, count and uncertainty. You can try rating photos or volunteer your own. That community flow is optional and separate from the private AI scan.
Which should you try?
Start with FaceIQ's free option if side-profile feedback and landmark inspection are central to what you want. Examine its current plan guide before committing to recurring access.
Start with RealSmile if you want an immediate front-photo Face Score and a preview of a one-time report. For comparisons, keep lighting, camera distance, framing and expression consistent; a score change alone does not establish a physical change or improved dating outcomes.

Is FaceIQ Labs free?
FaceIQ lists a continuing Free tier with a side-profile score and ten harmony ratios. Its support page distinguishes that tier from occasional promotional trials of paid access. Basic and Pro are recurring paid plans; check the current billing period and amount before paying.
Can I pay once for a RealSmile report?
Yes. The optional RealSmile report has a standard price of $14.99 as a one-time purchase, with supported measurements, a four-week photo plan and PDF. The free scan gives a Face Score and strongest available measurement first. Pro membership is a separate subscription.
Does a larger landmark or metric count prove greater accuracy?
No. More points can support different measurements, but accuracy depends on the landmark locations, photo conditions, definitions and evaluation. A front-facing selfie cannot reliably establish every side-profile angle. No shared benchmark here establishes that one provider is more accurate than the other.
Can real people rate my photo instead?
Yes. RealSmile Human Score is a separate, optional community-rating flow. You volunteer a photo for people to see and rate, and receive a raw vote average and count. The private AI scan does not enter your photo into that queue. Training permission is a separate optional choice.
FaceIQ Labs and RealSmile are separate services. Features and prices can change; check the provider's current offer before purchasing.
