Midjourney vs Pawheadshots

High-quality image generation and concept visuals · 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.

Open verification questions
  • The official Privacy Policy discusses training-data collection and service improvement but does not expressly state, in the reviewed text, whether every user's prompts or generated Assets are used for model training.
  • Midjourney does not guarantee that generated Assets are copyrightable, unique, or free of third-party rights.
  • Commercial ownership for organizations above US$1 million annual revenue depends on maintaining the required Pro or Mega subscription when creating the Assets.
  • Relax Mode is unlimited subject to queues and operational limits; it is not a guaranteed throughput rate.

The current Terms are effective 2026-05-27. They say users own Assets they create to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, subject to third-party rights and the Agreement. Companies, and employees of companies, with more than US$1 million in annual revenue must use Pro or Mega to own Assets. Midjourney receives a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free, irrevocable license over submitted Content and generated Assets. Content is publicly viewable and remixable by default; Stealth Mode is limited to Pro and Mega. The Privacy Policy covers prompts and uploaded content and says Midjourney may use personal data to provide, maintain, and improve the service. Re-verified 2026-10-01: Official plan pages still match the recorded Basic/Standard/Pro/Mega prices, Fast GPU-hour allocations and the 20% annual discount; no drift detected.

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).
