Design comparison

Imagesv2 vs Thefacerating

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 · 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.

Official sources checked 2026-10-22

Submitted 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).

TheFaceRating

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.

submitted 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. 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.
