Aragon AI alternatives
Aragon AI is an AI headshot platform known for its quick turnaround and mobile-friendly approach. The main alternative is FaceShot: one selfie in, a LinkedIn-ready headshot out in under 60 seconds, free to try with no card. If you already have many varied photos and do not mind waiting, Aragon AI can still be the right call.
Aragon AI is best for
- People who already have 8-12 varied photos and are happy to upload them
- Buyers who prefer paying per batch instead of a monthly plan
- Teams that want a mobile-friendly multi-photo workflow
When Aragon AI is the better choice
You have several good photos ready
Aragon AI uses 8-12 photos from different angles. If you already have them, the extra reference material can help with likeness.
You prefer paying per batch
Aragon AI charges per batch. FaceShot also sells one-time credit packs, but its plans are monthly subscriptions.
Waiting is not a problem
If you do not need a headshot today, a batch that takes longer to process may be perfectly fine for you.

What FaceShot does not do
- One photo in, so the photo matters. FaceShot works from a single selfie. A blurry, dark or heavily angled photo gives weaker results than a clear, front-facing one.
- Plan credits do not roll over. Plans are billed monthly (Starter €9.99, Pro €29.99, Business €79.99, Team €129.99) or yearly at 10 times the monthly price. Plan credits are added every month and unused plan credits do not roll over. One-time credit packs never expire.
- No SSO, API or integrations. FaceShot is a self-serve app. It does not offer single sign-on, a public API or integrations with HR tools.
- Image storage depends on your plan. Starter keeps images for 30 days, Pro for 90 days and Business and Team without a time limit. Uploaded selfies are deleted within 30 days on every plan.
