Ideogram vs Pawheadshots

Marketing visuals, Social media graphics, Concept art · Cat and dog owners who want a comedy headshot pack out of one phone photo - 30 fixed looks plus 6 styles you choose, with a matching Employee ID, PawkedIn profile and printable Pet Resume - as a single $19.90 one-time purchase; a $29.90 'Me & My Human' pack does 30 portraits of you and your pet together. Not a fit if you need to see the results before paying (there is no preview), if you expect the files to be stored for you (they are deleted 7 days after purchase), or if you need a company address and governing-law clause before you buy.

Official sources checked 2026-10-01

Official pricing and terms checked 2026-08-28. Paid plans add private generation; Ideogram says it does not claim ownership of generated images and permits commercial use subject to its terms. Re-verified 2026-10-01: Ideogram plan prices and credit allocations (Plus $15/mo billed annually, Pro $42/mo billed annually, Team $20/user/mo billed annually, 1,000/3,500/1,500 priority credits) are unchanged on the official pricing page, which still records paid plans as not claiming ownership of generated images and permitting commercial use subject to the terms.

Operator named as Vban LLC in both policies; processors named by company (Cloudflare, fal.ai running OpenAI and Google models, Stripe and Link as merchant of record); retention stated as periods (uploads 3 days, images 7 days, IP counters 1-2 days, order records for tax); training use explicitly denied; commercial rights granted with the pack and revoked on full refund; 18+ rule. Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics is the only tracker on the fetched pages and the policy names it as cookieless - disclosure and instrumentation match. Checkout is wired, not announced: /api/checkout is a live POST route in the shipped client bundle and /api/orders answers GET 200 with an empty list; no purchase was attempted. No governing-law clause, jurisdiction or postal address anywhere (whole-page sweep of /terms for 'governing law', 'jurisdiction', 'courts', 'arbitration', 'address' returns zero). Domain registered 2026-10-30 14:25 UTC (Cloudflare registrar, NS johnathan/athena - a pair in no other ledger row); the name appears on a March 2026 .com drop list, so this is a re-registered generic pet-name domain, not a squat. Contact support@pawheadshots.com verified deliverable before any send: SMTP RCPT TO against Cloudflare Email Routing MX returned 250 2.1.0 Ok while a random local part returned 550 5.1.1, so the domain is not a catch-all (nothing sent on the probe).
