Design comparison
Leonardo Ai vs Thefacerating
Game assets, concept art, product mockups, and controlled image generation · 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 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- The reviewed current Terms clearly allocate ownership but do not provide an equally explicit standalone commercial-use license for free-tier users; commercial rights for free-tier output should not be inferred.
- Team, enterprise, top-up-token, and API prices vary or require separate pricing paths and are not included in this individual-plan summary.
- Unlimited relaxed generation applies only to listed supported models and remains subject to slower queues and fair-use controls.
- Leonardo does not guarantee that output is unique, copyrightable, accurate, or free of third-party rights.
- The official pricing page returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches on 2026-10-01, so the 2026-08-25 pricing record could not be re-verified; the check must be repeated from a browser session.
The Privacy Policy and Terms were last updated 2026-01-19. Under clause 8.3, paid subscribers own the intellectual-property rights in Content they create, to the extent permitted by law, and Leonardo assigns any corresponding interest it has. Under clause 8.7, rights in free-subscriber Output vest in Leonardo. Paid subscribers can mark Content private; clause 8.5 says Private Content is not used, retained, analyzed, or processed for AI training or new-product development without express written consent. Clause 8.6 gives Leonardo a perpetual, transferable license to Public Content for service operation, promotion, improvement, AI-model training, new offerings, and commercial purposes. Re-check attempted 2026-10-01: leonardo.ai/pricing returned HTTP 403 to every automated fetch route used, so the recorded prices and the 2026-08-25 checked date were left unchanged rather than re-dated on unverified evidence.
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. 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.
