PFPMaker vs Headshots.com
Headshots.com charges by the headshot rather than by the plan, and delivers in three business days. It is worth working out what that costs once you want more than one look.
Paying by the image sounds like the fairest model in the category, and as an idea it is. Nobody enjoys paying up front for a batch they have not seen.
The arithmetic is where it gets interesting. Their own pages price a single headshot between $50 and $60, which is more than our entire top plan, and that plan returns sixty photos. If you want three or four different looks for different platforms, you are into the low hundreds for something most people do once.
Prices read from headshots.com on 15 August 2026. Their pricing page and their homepage quote different figures for the same volume band, so both are shown as a range.
The short answer
Headshots.com prices by the headshot, between $50 and $60 an image on their own pages. That is a coordinated, hand-finished service, and an expensive way to end up with more than one look.
Their model is built for companies rather than individuals: a managed service with coordination handled for you, hand-editing for consistency across a team, and a dashboard to run it from. If that is what you are buying, it is a different purchase from ours.
The cost lands where you would expect. At $50 to $60 an image, a single photo costs more than our largest plan, which returns sixty photos across whichever styles you like. Anyone who wants a professional shot, a casual one and something for a social profile is comparing roughly $150 to $180 against a single-digit payment here.
Teams work here too, and the arithmetic is the same story. Everyone gets their own shoot and their own gallery, at a per-person cost in single digits rather than per image.
Headshots.com: A per-headshot service for professionals and companies, priced by the image and coordinated for you, with a three business day turnaround.

Cost per photo

PFPMaker, at our best rate

Headshots.com, at their best rate
Same arithmetic on both sides: the cheapest published price divided by the number of photos it delivers. That makes Headshots.com about 343 times the cost per photo.
Looking for a Headshots.com alternative?
Usually this search comes from someone who liked the per-image idea, got to the end, and did the sum. At $50 to $60 a headshot, wanting a few different looks turns a reasonable-sounding model into a three-figure decision.
A flat payment removes that. You get the whole batch, you pick as many as you want, and picking a second or a fifth favourite costs nothing extra.
Picking more photos costs nothing
This is the whole difference. Every photo in your batch is yours, so choosing five favourites instead of one changes nothing about the price. At $50 an image, five favourites elsewhere is $250.
More than a professional headshot
Headshots.com does corporate headshots. We cover professional, casual, full body and creative profile pictures across more than fifty styles, all on every plan.
A price set for your country
Their per-image rate is the same everywhere. Our pricing is purchasing-power adjusted, so what you pay tracks local costs rather than US ones.
You know the total before you start
Per-image pricing means the final bill depends on how many you end up wanting, which is an odd thing not to know in advance. A flat payment tells you the number up front, and it does not change if the batch turns out better than you expected and you want to keep six.
Back the same day, not the same week
Headshots.com quotes a three business day turnaround, because a person edits every image. Ours come back in minutes, which matters when the photo is needed for something already in the diary.
Is there a free Headshots.com alternative?
Free generators exist at Canva and Adobe and cost nothing to try, so there is no reason not to start there if budget is the constraint.
The usual limitation applies: free tools make a person who looks a bit like you rather than you specifically, and several keep your uploads indefinitely as part of the arrangement.
Our plans cost less than a single photo at their rate, which makes the comparison with free a fairly short one.
Worth separating out: if all you need is a background swap on a photo you already like, we run a free PFP editor and background remover that do exactly that at no cost. Paying anyone for a background change is unnecessary. The paid product is for generating new photographs when the photo you have is the problem.

Doing this for a whole team?
It works, and at a per-person cost in single digits the arithmetic is the same story as the rest of this page. Everyone gets their own shoot and their own gallery, so the look stays consistent across the group while each person keeps control of their own images. The part we have not built yet is the paperwork: one consolidated invoice, an admin dashboard, single sign-on. If your finance team needs all of that today, it is worth knowing before you start.

What people say about their photos
Updated all our executive photos in one afternoon. The consistency across the team looked better than our last in-person studio shoot. Saved us a full day of scheduling and logistics.
Carlos Mendoza
CEO
Been looking for something like this for months. The executive headshot came out genuinely good. No uncanny valley, no weird hands, nothing off. And it doesn't make you jump through three sign-up screens before you can try it. That alone puts it ahead of half the competition.
David Osei
Tried the linkedin headshot option last month. Profile views went up that same week. I was honestly skeptical but the result looked like I paid a photographer. My recruiter asked where I got it done.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our AI photo service.
You pay per headshot rather than for a plan. Their own pages put a single image between $50 and $60 for the first hundred, dropping to between $40 and $50 from a hundred and one onwards, with no subscription and a three business day turnaround. Volume is what moves the rate, not the plan you pick.
Headshots.com quotes three business days, because a person edits every image before it reaches you. Ours come back in minutes. If the photo is needed for something already scheduled, that difference is usually the deciding one.
At their published rate, three looks is roughly $150 to $180 and five is roughly $250 to $300. With us every photo in the batch is yours, so the number of looks you keep does not change what you paid. That is the practical difference between the two models once you get past a single photo.
Yes, by a wide margin at any volume an individual would buy. Our largest plan returns sixty photos for less than the cost of a single image at their rate. They are buying you a coordinated, hand-finished service, which is a real thing to pay for, but it is a different purchase from a batch of profile photos.
Yes. Everyone gets their own shoot and their own gallery, which keeps the look consistent across the group while each person keeps control of their own images. At a per-person cost in single digits, that lands well below paying per image. What we have not built yet is the admin layer around it, meaning one consolidated invoice, a dashboard and single sign-on.
We start from one clear, recent photo, though two to ten from different angles gives the AI more to work with and produces better variety. Headshots.com asks for several, as most tools in this category do.
