Comparison
Aragon AI vs HeadshotPro
Two of the best-known AI headshot generators, compared on what each company actually publishes about price, turnaround, uploads, refunds and privacy. Every figure below was verified from Aragon's and HeadshotPro's own sites on 4 August 2026. Where something is not published, we say so rather than fill the gap with a guess.
TL;DR
Pick HeadshotPro if you want to know exactly what you are buying before you pay. It publishes its three tiers ($29, $39, $59 one-time), states outright that it never trains AI on your photos, and deletes input images 30 days after generation. It is the better-documented product of the two. Pick Aragon if you want the lowest effort to get started: six uploads is all it asks, it quotes a 30-minute turnaround, and its refund policy is unusually specific about what qualifies. The trade-off is that Aragon does not display its tier prices in a way anyone outside the site can verify, and its privacy policy URL currently returns a 404 — so you will be doing more of your checking after you land on their site rather than before.

Where Aragon AI wins
The lowest upload burden of the three.Aragon says "Six uploads is all you need — focus on quality over quantity for the best results." That is a genuine advantage and an underrated one. Hunting through your camera roll for fifteen or twenty usable selfies is the step where most people abandon an AI headshot purchase. HeadshotPro does not publish a minimum at all — it only asks for "a few selfies" — so you cannot plan for it in advance.
Fast, uniform turnaround.Aragon quotes "studio-quality headshots in 30 minutes" and "headshots in minutes, not days" without tying speed to the tier you buy. HeadshotPro does the opposite: its cheapest tier takes about 2 hours, and you pay up to $59 to get down to about 15 minutes. If you are in a hurry and do not want to buy the top tier to get there, Aragon's flat promise is the friendlier one.
A refund policy that spells out the conditions.Aragon's published policy is specific in a way that is genuinely helpful: a full refund "given that you haven't downloaded or aren't planning on downloading your photos", with downloading explicitly counted as using the product, requests due within 14 calendar days of purchase, and a free regeneration offered as an alternative if you would rather have another attempt than your money back. It even publishes the timings — 1-3 business days to process, 5-10 for funds to land. Knowing the rule before you trigger it is worth more than a vaguer, more generous-sounding promise.
High-resolution option. The Executive package outputs 1792 x 2176 pixels, against 896 x 1088 for the Basic/Standard package. How many headshots each package includes is not published as of August 2026.
Where HeadshotPro wins
You can see the prices.HeadshotPro's pricing page lists three tiers outright: Basic at $29 for 30 headshots in about 2 hours with 6 photo credits; Professional at $39 for 50 headshots in about 30 minutes with 26 photo credits and one free redo; and Executive at $59 for 70 headshots in about 15 minutes with 46 photo credits and 4K resolution. One caveat worth knowing: the homepage shows only two packages, omits the $39 tier entirely, and calls the $29 tier "Starter" where the pricing page calls it "Basic". Go to the pricing page. Aragon, by contrast, renders its tier prices client-side and its /headshots/pricing URL returns a 404, so its prices could not be verified from outside the site at all.
The clearest privacy position of the three.HeadshotPro states "We don't train AI on your photos, ever" and "Your photos are never used to train AI models." Input photos are automatically deleted 30 days after generation and download links expire after 7 days. Its pricing page lists SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, with a Data Processing Addendum available through its Trust Center. Aragon carries a SOC 2 Type II badge and a DPA link too, but its privacy policy returns a 404, so retention periods, model deletion and training use are not published as of August 2026 — an absence of information rather than an admission. One distinction to hold onto: neither company claims a server location. GDPR compliance and a DPA are contractual and procedural commitments; they are not the same thing as your photos being stored in the EU.
Unambiguously one-time."One-time payment. Free retry included. No subscriptions," plus "No subscription · Nothing recurring." Aragon is hybrid — its refund policy has separate sections for headshot purchases and for monthly and annual subscriptions with credits — and the exact structure of those subscriptions is not published. If you want certainty that nothing renews, HeadshotPro says it plainly.
A refund with no expiry, and a redo on the upper tiers.HeadshotPro promises a "100% money-back guarantee" and says "if you don't like your photos, 100% money back, no expiry"; the pricing page frames it as "Money back if it doesn't look like you." Professional and Executive also include a free redo within 14 days. Read the two halves separately — the no-expiry applies to the refund, while the redo is the part that is time-boxed.
Sensible team handling. Teams are credit-based at 40 headshots plus one free retry per person, and the credits never expire — which suits onboarding staff over months rather than buying for everyone at once.
Disclosure — this is our product
A third option: SyntheticPic
We make SyntheticPic, so treat this section as the interested party it is. It is worth mentioning only because it answers two things neither product above does, and it is honest to name the ways it loses as well.
Where it is genuinely different. Your model is trained once, kept private to your account, and never used for shared training — and it persists. That means when you want new portraits in six months, you regenerate from your existing balance rather than buying a fresh pack. Identity locking refuses to generate a face that does not match your trained model. And the infrastructure runs in the EU, in Paris — a real data-residency claim, which is the one thing neither Aragon nor HeadshotPro publishes. If a compliance team has asked you where the photos are stored, that distinction matters; if nobody has asked, it probably does not.
Pricing. One-time, like HeadshotPro: Essential €29 for 40 portraits, Pro €49, Studio €79, with €9 top-ups and no subscription. Studio adds two models and a commercial licence. Turnaround is under 30 minutes and downloads are HD.
Where it loses.SyntheticPic is much smaller and much newer than both Aragon and HeadshotPro, with correspondingly less of a track record to check. There is no free tier, so you cannot sample the output before paying — HeadshotPro's money-back guarantee is a lower-risk way in if that matters to you. And on raw headshot count per euro, HeadshotPro's Executive tier delivers more images. If your need is a one-off batch of professional headshots at the lowest verifiable price, HeadshotPro is the straightforward answer and we would not pretend otherwise.
Questions people ask
- Which is better, Aragon or HeadshotPro?
- On the evidence each company publishes, HeadshotPro is the better-documented product: it displays its tier prices ($29, $39 and $59 one-time), states plainly that it never trains AI on your photos, and publishes a 30-day deletion window for your input images. Aragon is the better pick if your priority is convenience: it needs only six uploads, quotes a 30-minute turnaround, and has a clear, specific refund policy. The honest summary is that HeadshotPro is easier to evaluate before you buy, while Aragon asks less of you to get started.
- How much does Aragon AI cost?
- Aragon does not display its tier prices on its pricing page in a form that can be verified from outside the site — the figures render client-side, and the /headshots/pricing URL returns a 404. Prices quoted in third-party review articles could not be confirmed against Aragon's own site as of August 2026, so we do not repeat them here. Check the pricing page directly while logged out before you buy. Aragon does name its packages: a Basic/Standard package at 896 x 1088 pixels, and an Executive package at 1792 x 2176 pixels.
- Is HeadshotPro a subscription?
- No. HeadshotPro states "One-time payment. Free retry included. No subscriptions" and "No subscription · Nothing recurring". Aragon is different: its refund policy has separate sections for headshot purchases and for monthly and annual subscriptions with credits, so it operates a hybrid model. The exact structure of Aragon's subscription tiers is not published.
- Which one is better on privacy?
- HeadshotPro, clearly, on published evidence. It says "Your photos are never used to train AI models", deletes input photos 30 days after generation, expires download links after 7 days, and lists SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance with a DPA available through its Trust Center. Aragon carries a SOC 2 Type II badge and a Data Processing Addendum link, but its privacy policy URL returns a 404, so its retention, deletion and training-use practices are not published as of August 2026. That is an absence of published information, not evidence of anything worse. Note too that neither company makes a data-residency claim — GDPR compliance and a DPA are not the same thing as EU hosting.
- How do the refund policies compare?
- Aragon's is the more precisely specified. It offers a full refund "given that you haven't downloaded or aren't planning on downloading your photos", treats downloading as using the product, requires requests within 14 calendar days of purchase, and offers a free regeneration as an alternative. Subscription refunds cover the most recent payment only, within 14 days, and only if no credits have been used; processing takes 1-3 business days with funds arriving in 5-10. HeadshotPro promises a "100% money-back guarantee" with "no expiry" on the refund itself, and adds a free redo within 14 days on the Professional and Executive tiers. Read that carefully: the no-expiry applies to the refund, while the redo is time-boxed.
- Why do HeadshotPro's prices differ depending on the page?
- HeadshotPro's homepage shows only two packages and omits the $39 tier, and it labels the $29 tier "Starter" where the pricing page calls it "Basic". The pricing page is the fuller and more current source, listing three tiers: Basic $29 for 30 headshots in about 2 hours with 6 photo credits; Professional $39 for 50 headshots in about 30 minutes with 26 photo credits and one free redo; and Executive $59 for 70 headshots in about 15 minutes with 46 photo credits and 4K resolution. We cite the pricing page throughout.
How we checked
All figures on this page were verified on 4 August 2026 from each company's own website — Aragon's homepage and refund policy, and HeadshotPro's pricing page, guarantee and privacy statements. HeadshotPro prices are cited from its pricing page rather than its homepage, which lists fewer tiers under different names. Aragon's tier prices were not publicly displayed in a form we could verify: its pricing page renders them client-side and /headshots/pricing returns a 404, so no Aragon price is quoted here. Figures appearing in third-party review articles could not be confirmed against Aragon's own site. Aragon's privacy policy URL also returned a 404 at the time of checking, so its retention and training-use practices are recorded as not published rather than characterised. Pricing and policies change — confirm on each site before purchasing.
