Design comparison
Makifyai vs Thefacerating
E-commerce sellers, small marketing teams and creators who turn existing product shots into listing images, ads, mockups and social graphics without a designer - one browser workspace over GPT Image 2.5/2.6, the Nano Banana 2.x family, Seedream 5.0 and FLUX 3, with 30 free credits on sign-up and one-time packs from $9.90. A sensible fit if you want per-image credit control instead of a fixed subscription and will read the refund rule before paying: 3 calendar days, 50 paid credits or fewer, minus a 2-10% processing fee. Not a fit if you need to know who the data controller is, how long uploaded product photos are kept, or that your outputs are licensed for commercial use before you upload client material - no privacy notice on the site names a controller, address or retention period, training use is never mentioned, and the Terms decline to guarantee commercial usability even though the marketing copy says a commercial licence is included. · 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 2026-11-10Submitted via form by vendor; editorial entry written independently. Prices read from the served /pricing HTML on 2026-11-10 and cross-checked against the plan config shipped inside that page: monthly Basic $11.90/100, Standard $29.90/300, Pro slider $59.90-$159.90 for 750-2,300 credits; annual Basic $118.80 ($9.90/mo, 1,800), Standard $238.80 ($19.90/mo, 4,800), Pro $358.80-$958.80 ($29.90-$79.90/mo, 10,800-38,400); one-time packs 80 cr $9.90, 150 $19.90, 250 $29.90, 400 $39.90, 650 $59.90, 900 $79.90, 1,200 $99.90, 2,500 $199 (183 days); subscriber top-ups 300 $29.90, 1,500 $119, 4,500 $349, 8,500 $649, 12,500 $899; Starter Pass 40 cr / 7 days / $4.99. The /zh/pricing mirror carries the same USD figures with a CNY column, and every annual figure equals 12 monthly payments less the badge shown (17/33/50%). Legal set read in full: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service both 'Last updated Oct 11, 2026', /refund-policy Aug 14, 2026; /privacy, /terms, /about, /contact and /refund all return 404 (the in-app config still points its refund_url at /refund). Sitewide footer names the operator as ARKELUMA LLC; the policy itself names no controller, address or jurisdiction. Whole-word sweep for 'train' across all fetched pages: zero hits. Processors are named only by category. Browser check on a clean profile 2026-11-10: GA4 G-CDGZN0YSBE plus stats.g.doubleclick.net, Microsoft Clarity xtk49ey6wl, c.bing.com and static.cloudflareinsights.com all fired with no consent banner rendered; cookies _ga, _ga_CDGZN0YSBE, MUID, SRM_B, ANONCHK, CLID and localStorage keys device_fingerprint / attribution_session_id were written. MX is Cloudflare Email Routing and accepts every local part, so an SMTP RCPT probe confirms the domain receives mail but not that a human reads a given address; support@makifyai.com is the published contact. Domain registered 2026-04-08 (Cloudflare registrar, NS audrey/sid); the name market is unrelated - makify.com is a DIY/YouTube hobby site and makify.app does not resolve - so no name dispute is recorded. No hands-on test: entering the product requires creating an account, which is outside the scope of an editorial check.
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.
