Design comparison
Faceloria vs Thefacerating
People curious about face-shape analysis who want a structured facial-measurement report rather than a horoscope-style app: upload one front-facing photo, get a face-shape category, width-to-height ratio and vertical-balance measurements for free, then decide whether the $16.99 one-time Full Report (4-week styling action plan and PDF) is worth it. Not a fit for anyone who needs a named company, jurisdiction or refund policy before paying, or for anyone who finds a 0-100 attractiveness score unhelpful - that framing is part of the product. · Anyone who wants a fast, private read on facial proportions before spending money on a haircut, a pair of glasses or a colour palette, and who reads the score as a styling starting point rather than a verdict on attractiveness. Also a useful sandbox: the Studio scores any reference photo against your own face. Not a fit for readers who want the rating to mean something objective, who need a working support mailbox before they pay, or who would rather not involve a face at all - the free scan keeps the photo on the device, but the colour analysis and every try-on require sending a compressed copy to the vendor and its model providers.

Free instant face analysis; Full Face Report $16.99 one-time ('One-time payment - No subscription'), processed by Waffo. Checked 2026-11-02 on https://www.faceloria.com/pricing.
Official sources checked 2026-11-02Submitted via form 2026-11-02 09:41 UTC (contact field a third-party mail.grokbot.com alias; site publishes support@faceloria.com on Cloudflare Email Routing). Editorial entry written independently from live pages: pricing, privacy (updated 2026-10-26), terms, cookie policy, acceptable use all 200. Processors named in policy (Waffo, Cloudflare R2, Google Sign-In); source photos auto-deleted within 48h per policy. No controller/entity/jurisdiction named; analytics scripts (pvuv.ai Plausible-compatible + plausible.io) load on all pages but policy mentions analytics only generically. Registered 2026-09-14 (Spaceship); NS lars/nola - a pair in no other ledger row.
Free on-device scan, then one-time reports: Starter USD 7.99, Pro USD 16.99, VIP USD 24.99, each marked 'One-time - no subscription'. Verified on three independent surfaces that agree - the homepage plan cards, the results-page paywall reached by running a real scan, and Terms section 6 - and confirmed purchasable by opening the checkout, which returned a live Stripe session (cs_live) titled 'TheFaceRating Starter Report' at USD 7.99 with merchant Vban LLC and Apple Pay / Google Pay offered. Studio credit packs are priced only in the Terms: 10 credits USD 9.99, 30 credits USD 19.99, one credit per rating plus render, credits do not expire. Free colour analyses are limited to two per day per hashed IP. No subscription price exists anywhere on the site.
Official sources checked 2026-10-24submitted via form by vendor; editorial entry written independently. Received through FormSubmit on 2026-10-24 12:49 UTC from vban@mail.grokbot.com, no prior submission under this name or domain in the repository, the hold ledger or any mail folder. Live pages fetched 2026-10-24: /, /tools, /tools/face-shape-detector, /tools/attractiveness-test, /studio, /privacy, /terms, /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt all 200; /pricing, /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service, /about, /contact, /refund-policy, /sample-report, /refunds and /llms.txt all 404 (the nav's Pricing link is the homepage anchor, and Terms section 7 is the only refund text). Product behaviour verified rather than read: the free scan was run in a logged headless Chrome against the vendor's own sample image (/examples/ai-face-rating-sample.jpg) after instrumenting window.fetch and XMLHttpRequest - the scan produced 478/478 landmarks, 78/100 harmony, a face shape and per-region bands with zero outbound requests, and the following step posted to /api/scan/create a body of sha256 + geometry + celebrity match and no photo field when the consent step was declined. A result page was created at /scan/<uuid> with no account. The paywall there lists the same three one-time prices as the homepage and Terms, and clicking Unlock Starter opened a live Stripe checkout for USD 7.99; the checkout was abandoned and no payment was made. Analytics read from the shipped markup: GA4 G-VGC2RBRR2T preloaded and configured inline with anonymize_ip, allow_google_signals false and ad personalization off, plus an unnamed Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon. Domain registered 2026-09-15 (Spaceship), Cloudflare NS johnathan/athena, and no MX record at all, so every published @thefacerating.com address - privacy@ in the policy and Terms - cannot receive mail; the submission address on a separate domain resolves to AWS inbound SES and is the only working route we could identify. An SMTP RCPT probe against that host returned 550 5.7.1 'IP address blacklisted by recipient' for both the candidate address and a random local part, so the probe says nothing about the mailbox - SES is refusing this machine's IP, not the address; the real send left through Gmail's SMTP. Entity 'Vban LLC' with a Sheridan, Wyoming address and Wyoming governing law is named in the Terms but did not surface in a public company search. No name collision of consequence: 'The Face Rating' is descriptive, the nearest properties are the competing products the site itself names (TheFaceReport, Umax, Qoves, PinkMirror, FaceIQ Labs), and the product is already indexed by third-party directories (ainave.com, aisotools.com). Category submitted as Creative - accurate.
