Pick Secta Labs if

- Works for actors and professionals who want a choice of 90+ styles
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to try it free, as no free tier or trial is listed

How we grade them
| 2.0GPAHeadshotProFair | 2.2GPASecta LabsFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$29 one-time for a shoot of 30 headshots, up to $59 for 4K. That is a per-shoot price, so another person or another look costs again, but it is under a year of the category's $10 subscription. | A$49 once for 200+ photos, a single payment under a year of the category's $11.88 middle subscription. The crossed-out $99 has no end date. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: the page offers one free redo and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a guarantee isn't a trial. | FNo free tier or trial on the pages read. A 30-day money-back guarantee is not a trial. |
| Features | CSelfies to headshots with choice of backdrop and outfit, a profile picture editor and a team dashboard. It does that one job fully, and it is a smaller job than a general image tool. | CHeadshots in 90+ styles, an editing add-on and a teams product. It does one job and it is a smaller job than most of the category. |
| Ease of use | BUpload selfies, pick backdrops and outfits, download. Nothing to set up, though Basic takes about 2 hours. | BNo store rating is on record. You upload photos and wait about two hours, with nothing to install. |
| Platforms and integrations | CBrowser only, with Zapier listed for Enterprise. No phone or desktop app. | CWeb only, with no apps, API or integrations listed. |
| Best for | a one-off set of LinkedIn headshots from selfies | AI headshots, paid once |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
