How much does RealSmile cost?▾
The free scan gives your validated Face Score (a percentile) and your strongest metric with its real reading — 1 scan a day with no signup, 5 with a free account. The full report (every metric your photo supports, typically 15 of the 17) with PDF and 30-day plan is $14.99 — a one-time payment. The Dating Photo Audit is $19.99 and the Professional LinkedIn Audit is $49, also one-time. The only optional recurring plan is Pro at $3.99/week — Full Report buyers get 3 free days they can switch on after purchase — the latest scoring model, unlimited scans (a free account gets 5/day, the report 15/day), your typical score + range across every scan, and a progress graph (cancel anytime).
Is RealSmile a subscription?▾
The reports and audits are one-time payments — yours forever, no rebill, no auto-renew. The only recurring option is Pro at $3.99/week — Full Report buyers get 3 free days they can switch on after purchase, an optional add-on with our newest scoring model, unlimited scans, your typical score + range across every scan, and a progress graph. Pro renews at $3.99/week until you cancel, in one click from your account. The 3 free days that come with the Full Report are opt-in: nothing recurring starts unless you activate them, and the report is yours forever either way. So nothing recurring is forced — you only subscribe if you want ongoing progress tracking.
Can I get a refund?▾
Yes. RealSmile offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on every paid tier. Email hello@realsmile.online from the address used at checkout with your order ID, and the full amount is refunded the same day. No retention call, no exit survey, no satisfaction interview. The PDF stays yours whether or not you refund.
How accurate is the RealSmile analysis?▾
RealSmile's Face Score correlates with averaged human ratings at r ≈ 0.8 on 1,566 held-out faces (SCUT-FBP5500, 5-fold cross-validated; study at /face-score-validation). The scoring uses 68-landmark facial detection, and the photo matters: across 1,350 people who scored two or more different photos, the median gap between their highest and lowest Face Score was 13 percentile points (data at /research-base#photo-variance). Model weights are benchmarked against the published facial-attractiveness literature: Little, Jones, and DeBruine 2011 (doi:10.1098/rstb.2010.0404), Carre and McCormick 2008 (PMID 18713717), and Willis and Todorov 2006 on rapid first-impression formation. Output is a relative photo-quality signal, not medical or psychological advice.
Is my photo stored on RealSmile servers?▾
No. On desktop, the measurements run in your browser. On mobile, your photo is processed in memory by our scan server and deleted immediately after the landmarks are measured — never written to disk. Before scoring, the photo is also sent once to our server for an automated safety check; we don't keep it. By default nothing is kept: no photo, no copy, nothing used to train anything. There are three exceptions and all three are your choice — you can save a scan photo to your own account, you can submit a photo to the community rating pool, and the paid Audit keeps a thumbnail so you can reopen your report. Each one is deletable, and deleting removes the file itself, not just the link to it. Only the resulting numeric scores are saved against your account so the PDF can be re-opened later. To delete the score records too, email hello@realsmile.online with the word "delete" and the records are purged same day.
What does the $19.99 Dating Photo Audit include?▾
One $19.99 audit analyzes up to 10 dating photos side-by-side, ranks them best-to-worst with absolute scores, returns a keep-or-kill verdict and written context on each, picks your lead, names the photos to delete, and gives a directional standing estimate for Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble. Have just one photo? It works for that too, at the same price.
How does RealSmile pricing compare to human-vote and consult services?▾
The RealSmile report is a one-time payment for an instant AI report — no required subscription, no scheduling, no voter delay. Human-vote services like Photofeeler are free if you rate other people's photos, or sell credit packs from $9 for 40 votes to $79 for 650, with a wait queue and no metric breakdown (RealSmile's own Human Score — real 1-10 votes — is free; see /photofeeler-alternative). QOVES sells a recurring yearly membership. Same landmark math the academic literature uses. The PDF and percentile scores are yours to keep. (Ongoing tracking with our newest model is an optional add-on — Pro at $3.99/week — Full Report buyers get 3 free days they can switch on after purchase — never required.)
Can I upgrade my tier later?▾
Yes. If you buy the $14.99 report or the $19.99 dating audit and later move up to a higher tier, the amount you already paid is credited against it, so the same diagnosis is never paid for twice. Email hello@realsmile.online with your order ID and an upgrade link is issued inside one business day.
Why does RealSmile cost anything if scoring is automated?▾
The free tier covers your validated Face Score plus your strongest metric with its real reading, and it names your weakest metric, so the system can be sanity-checked at zero risk. Paid unlocks every metric your photo supports, typically 15 of the 17 we measure (canthal tilt, midface ratio, symmetry, jaw taper and the rest), the per-photo verdict, and the 7-9 page PDF, which are the parts that explain what to fix and how to prioritize. Compute, hosting, and the rendering pipeline cost real money per audit, and one-time pricing covers that without forcing a subscription.
How does RealSmile pricing compare to typical face audits?▾
QOVES sells its facial analysis as a yearly membership; RealSmile's report is a one-time $14.99 payment that ships the core deliverables: numeric metrics, a prioritized fix list, every measurement mapped on your photo, and a downloadable PDF. The comparison table above lists exactly what is included at each tier so the value call is yours to make.
Can I share the report with a photographer or stylist?▾
Yes. The 7-9 page PDF is yours to keep, forward, or print. Many users hand it to a portrait photographer ahead of a shoot so the photographer knows which angles, lighting, and crops to chase based on the metrics that scored lowest. There is no DRM, no per-recipient charge, and no expiration on access.
What if my RealSmile score is low?▾
A low score is a starting baseline, not a verdict. The report is structured around what is fixable: skin clarity, lighting, angle, jaw definition through posture, hairstyle, and grooming all respond to behavior change inside 30 days. Bone structure does not change without intervention and is not the focus. The fix list ranks issues by leverage (points-recoverable per hour of effort), so even a low starting score maps to a concrete plan.
