Anaface scores your facial proportions against the golden ratio. RealSmile measures 10 AI-detected facial metrics backed by peer-reviewed research. Here's the difference.
Bottom line up front
Anaface's golden ratio approach is scientifically contested — studies show phi-based facial attractiveness has weak correlation with actual attractiveness ratings. RealSmile uses metrics that have stronger evidence: symmetry, canthal tilt, FWHR, and jawline angle.

The golden ratio (phi = 1.618) has been proposed as a standard of facial beauty since ancient Greece. Anaface applies this by measuring whether facial proportions match phi. The problem: modern peer-reviewed research shows weak and inconsistent correlation between golden ratio facial proportions and actual attractiveness ratings. A 2015 study in PLOS ONE found that faces rated highly attractive often deviate significantly from phi.
RealSmile uses metrics with stronger evidence: bilateral facial symmetry (linked to developmental stability since Thornhill & Gangestad 1993), canthal tilt (consistently rated attractive in multiple cross-cultural studies), FWHR (linked to testosterone and dominance perception), and jawline angle (signals hormonal health). These metrics have more empirical support than golden ratio scoring.
That said — if you want golden ratio analysis specifically, RealSmile also has a dedicated Golden Ratio Test that maps 68 facial landmarks against phi across multiple facial zones.
For a broader, evidence-based facial analysis across 10 metrics — use RealSmile's looksmaxxing test. For specifically golden ratio scoring — RealSmile's own golden ratio test covers this more thoroughly than Anaface while also giving improvement context.
