Rapvideo Ai vs Thefacerating
People who want the Hotel Lobby / rap-duo trend video of themselves or a friend without filming anything, plus anyone making a birthday, anniversary, roast or small-business rap from two phone photos, who would rather buy credits per video than take on 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 2026-10-27Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-27 14:13 UTC; editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-27. The submission's name, category (Creative) and summary were accurate. Prices were read from the served /pricing HTML and cross-checked against the /zh, /es, /fr and /de mirrors, which carry identical figures; per-render credit costs come from the same page's model table. The yearly toggle is JavaScript-only, so only the Basic yearly figure ($299/120 videos, quoted in the studio's own price line on the homepage) could be verified - Pro and Agency yearly prices are recorded as unavailable rather than guessed. Three internal pricing inconsistencies were verified on the live pages and are published in cons: 'About $1 a song' (homepage value card plus the /pricing <title> and og:title) against 'about $2.99 a song on the Basic plan' (hero and FAQ) and the $3.32/video Label pack; '100 credits / month · 8 videos' on the Basic card against '10 songs a month for $29.90'; and plan/pack sizing at ~12 credits a video against the stated 10-credit standard render. Legal set: /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service and /refund-policy all 200 (all dated 'Last updated: 2026-10-04'), while /privacy, /terms, /refund, /about, /contact and /faq 404 - the FAQ is the homepage anchor /#faq, not a missing route. Processors named by company with purpose (Kie.ai/ByteDance Seedance, OpenAI lyrics, Cloudflare, Railway, Stripe, Google); training use explicitly excluded; likeness, minors and prohibited-use clauses present; refund windows stated; non-affiliation with artists and labels stated in the ToS and on the Hotel Lobby guide. Trackers read from the served markup on the policy pages themselves: GA4 G-GLWNKQXXM1 via googletagmanager, Microsoft Clarity yr9wgy5s80, PostHog, plus the Cloudflare beacon - none named in the notice, no cookie section, no consent gate (the 'consent' strings in the bundle are photo-permission i18n, and the 'countdown' strings are OTP resend labels, not a pricing timer). No company, controller, postal address or governing-law clause exists in the ToS. Contact: support@rapvideoai.com published via Cloudflare email obfuscation on every legal page and probed live against the domain's Cloudflare MX with nothing sent - 250 2.1.0 Ok, random local part 550 5.1.1, so one real mailbox on a non-catch-all domain; the submission's alex@imagesv2.ai also answers 250 and is the same address that submitted ImagesV2. Operator: rapvideoai.com and imagesv2.ai share the Cloudflare nameserver pair noor/jake, the same Cloudflare MX triple and registrar Dynadot, and the submitted contact address is on the imagesv2.ai domain we already list - same operator, separate product, so this is a second listing rather than a duplicate. Name: rapvideo.ai is a separate operator (Roman/Bristol nameservers, Zoho MX, Spaceship registrar, registered 2026-10-02) selling a same-named Hotel Lobby rap-video product; homepage body-text similarity to this site measured 0.156 with difflib, i.e. separately drafted, and rapvideoai.com was registered 2026-09-29, three days earlier - a crowded fresh name, not a squat, and it is disclosed in cons.
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.
