FaceApp edits faces with hair, makeup and age-style filters on iPhone and Android. It is free to download, but the App Store lists PRO at $10, $20, $60 and $100 without saying which is monthly, yearly or one-time, and store reviews mention charges after a 3-day trial. - **Value for money: C.** The App Store lists FaceApp PRO at $10, $20, $60 and $100 without naming the periods, so there is no price to grade against the category. That sits at C. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free to download, with some filters free, though the pages do not say which stay free. A developer reply says an ad-supported unlock is being tested. - **Features: C.** Hair, makeup and face filters with before and after compare. It does that one job fully and it is a smaller job than most of the category. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating is on record. You install the app and start using it, with nothing to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** iPhone, iPad and Android. There is no web or desktop version listed.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-images ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace FaceApp you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
