The report card
Best for retouching faces in photos and video
Facetune retouches faces and bodies in photos and video, with AI headshots, a clothes changer and virtual makeup, as an app and in a browser. The website plans run $25 monthly, $40 quarterly and $77.99 yearly, the App Store shows different prices, and plans cannot be switched mid-cycle.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $25 a month is in the category's dearest tenth, while $77.99 a year works out near $6.50 a month. The US App Store listing shows different in-app prices. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 7-day free trial on the website plans, and the listing does not say whether a card is needed. Past that, a subscription is needed for the premium tools. |
| Features | C | Retouching, AI headshots, clothes changer, hair and nails, in photo and video. A narrower job than a general image tool. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating is on record. You install the app, or open the browser editor, and start. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | iPhone, Android and web, with no desktop app or integrations listed. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Facetune 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.
It costs $300 a year.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video editor.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Facetune’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
