Honest comparison · August 28, 2026Start your shootPromptography vs. Photo AI
Likeness is not a paywall.
Photo AI sells how much its results look like you as a plan feature. We think that is the one thing you should never have to pay extra for. Every claim below is cited and was recorded on August 28, 2026; if Photo AI changes its pages, this comparison is out of date, not evidence.

The record
Side by side, with sources.
| Dimension | Promptography | Photo AI |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One-time purchases from $9.99 to $99.99. No subscription, no renewal to remember, no cancellation flow. | Subscription-only plans at $19, $49, and $199 per month[1]. |
| Likeness quality | One quality tier for everyone. Every price runs our best model and the same Quality Gate; bigger tiers only buy more looks. Likeness is not a paywall. | Likeness is sold by tier: its pricing page advertises “low likeness”, “medium likeness”, and “ultra-high likeness” as plan features[1]. |
| Refunds | Full refund even after delivery, no questions. Below-threshold frames are regenerated at our cost before delivery; if a frame still can’t clear our own Quality Gate we say so — and the one-click refund stands either way. | The signup flow asks customers to waive their right to a refund[1]. |
| Customer reviews | We are pre-launch and show no customer reviews anywhere. No testimonials will appear until they come from real, verifiable customers. | Trustpilot rating of 2.2 out of 5, with 62% one-star reviews at the time of comparison[2]. |
| Deletion & provenance | Delete-now with verified absence: access closes first, then storage is checked until every reference and output is confirmed gone. Every delivered image carries provenance receipts — model, prompt version, and response identifiers. | No equivalent verified-deletion receipt or per-image provenance contract is advertised on its pricing page[1]. |
What we do not claim
Kept honest by design.
Photo AI is an established product with a large public catalog, and this page does not dispute its capabilities — only how it prices likeness, handles refunds, and is rated by its own customers on the linked sources. We publish no invented benchmarks, no fabricated customer counts, and no customer reviews — the only quotes on our site are honestly labeled founding-circle early-access notes, never verified purchases. When we have verifiable customer evidence of our own, it will be linked the same way these sources are.
