Imagesv2 vs Pawheadshots
Designers, marketers and e-commerce sellers who need finished image assets - posters with readable text, true transparent PNGs, editable SVG and layered PSD - from OpenAI's GPT Image 2 without an OpenAI account, and who would rather buy credits than add another monthly AI subscription · 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 2026-10-22Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-22 12:18 UTC (05:18 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-22. The submission's summary and category (Creative) were accurate. Prices were read from the rendered /pricing cards and cross-checked against the /zh/pricing mirror and the site's llms.txt; every figure agreed and the per-credit lines reconcile with the credit counts ($49.90/12,000 = $0.0042, $199.90/60,000 = $0.0033, $499.90/240,000 = $0.0021), and yearly allowances equal twelve monthly allowances. Credit costs per image come from the home page pricing block and the FAQ. Legal pages: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service return 200 with real substance, while /privacy, /terms, /refund-policy, /contact, /legal, /cookie-policy and /acceptable-use all 404; the ToS defers generated-image retention to unspecified 'image storage terms' that are not published. Non-affiliation is disclosed in both the privacy policy and the ToS. Trackers were read from the served markup: Google Analytics 4 G-GC01M2BQCY (gtag config) and Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms/tag) are injected on /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service themselves, with no consent banner anywhere and no analytics processor named in the notice, against a policy sentence saying data is not transferred to outside parties. Contact: support@imagesv2.ai and alex@imagesv2.ai both returned 250 against the domain's Cloudflare MX with a random local part returning 550 5.1.1, so the published address is a working mailbox and the domain is not a catch-all. Domain registered 2026-04-05 via Dynadot behind a privacy service (Cloudflare NS jake/noor), sixteen days before OpenAI released gpt-image-2 on 2026-04-21 - a pre-launch registration of a model name, not an incumbent under this name. Name family sweeps found four unrelated operators on four different Cloudflare NS pairs (gptimage2.com, gptimage2.ai, gpt-image-2.com, and imagesv2.com now held by an Indonesian gambling site), so the request asks whether a relationship exists rather than demanding rights. No affiliate or partner page exists (/affiliates, /affiliate, /referral, /partners and /api/referrals all 404).
One-time packs only, no subscription: Superstar Pack $19.90 (36 ultra-HD images: 30 included looks + 6 styles chosen, plus Employee ID, PawkedIn profile and Pet Resume); Me & My Human Pack $29.90 (30 owner-plus-pet portraits, 30 transparent PNG cutouts). USD, local tax/VAT added at checkout. Checked 2026-11-02 on the homepage pricing section and /studio - the site has no /pricing route (404).
Official sources checked 2026-11-02Submitted via form 2026-11-03 02:39 UTC (contact field a third-party mail.grokbot.com alias, vban@) - editorial entry written independently from live pages fetched 2026-11-02 Pacific. Live: /, /studio, /me-and-my-human, /pet-resume, /resume, /breeds, /privacy, /terms all 200; /pricing, /about, /contact, /faq, /cookies, /refund 404. 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).
