> **Publisher and method:** Smart Headshots AI publishes this page and sells one of the two services. HeadshotPro's packages, prices, redo allowance, refund terms and retention wording were checked on its official pages on **October 27, 2026**, including its [pricing page](https://www.headshotpro.com/pricing), [package chooser](https://www.headshotpro.com/docs/individual/getting-started/choosing-a-package), [terms dated October 22, 2026](https://www.headshotpro.com/legal/terms-and-conditions) and [refund help article](https://www.headshotpro.com/docs/individual/billing/refund-policy). This compares published offers: it is not a blind likeness test, it does not rank image quality, and it makes no claim about usable-image rates. Prices and conditions change.

## The short answer: is Smart Headshots AI a good HeadshotPro alternative?

**Smart Headshots AI is the closer fit if you want the wardrobe to follow your job.** Pick a [LinkedIn pack](/linkedin-headshots), the [Professional pack](/professional-headshots) or another profession, and every outfit and backdrop in that pack is available in Starter, Professional and Executive. You upload 8 to 15 current photos, a private model is trained for your session, and every tier costs less per generated image on current prices.

**HeadshotPro is the better fit in three situations:** you want a large preset style library rather than one profession's wardrobe, you want photo credits for individual edits included, or your company already runs team portraits through HeadshotPro. Its published turnaround is also faster above the entry tier.

Both services charge once rather than by subscription. The differences that decide an order are the cost of each generated image, whether the clothing and backdrop are yours to choose, how quickly the set arrives, and what a refund actually requires.

## HeadshotPro vs Smart Headshots AI at a glance

Snapshot: October 27, 2026. HeadshotPro amounts are its published USD one-time prices; our column shows our current one-time prices in USD, with tax added at checkout. Cost per generated image divides the US price by the image count. Counts are generated candidates, not a guaranteed number of usable portraits, and turnarounds are published estimates after photo submission.

| What you buy | Smart Headshots AI | HeadshotPro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Entry package | Starter: $19 for 40 images, standard resolution | Basic: US$29 for 30 images, standard resolution |
| Middle package | Professional: $29 for 60 images, high resolution | Professional: US$39 for 50 images, premium resolution |
| Top package | Executive: $39 for 100 images, 4K downloads | Executive: US$59 for 70 images, 4K downloads |
| Cost per generated image | $0.47 / $0.48 / $0.39 | $0.97 / $0.78 / $0.84 |
| Photos you upload | 8 to 15 current photos | A few selfies; the checkout states the exact upload rule |
| Outfit and backdrop choice | Every outfit and backdrop in the chosen pack, in all three tiers | Basic: preselected combinations. Professional and Executive: library selection |
| Estimated turnaround | About 2 hours / 1 hour / 30-45 minutes | About 2 hours / 30 minutes / 15 minutes |
| Included redo | Professional and Executive: one full-batch re-run. Starter: none | Professional and Executive: one free redo within 14 days. Basic: none listed |
| Included edit credits | None; the included re-run regenerates the whole batch | 6 / 26 / 46 photo credits for edits |
| Refund window | 7 days after delivery; downloading alone does not disqualify a claim | 14 days from purchase; a full refund requires that nothing was downloaded |
| Source photo deletion | Normally 7 days after delivery | Inputs 30 days after gallery generation; results 30 days per its pricing FAQ |

HeadshotPro figures come from its [pricing page](https://www.headshotpro.com/pricing) and [package chooser](https://www.headshotpro.com/docs/individual/getting-started/choosing-a-package), checked October 27, 2026. Our column quotes the amount charged today rather than a compare-at price. Read the checkout total on either service rather than assuming tax is included.

One published detail does not agree with itself. HeadshotPro's pricing page and package chooser list the free redo on Professional and Executive only, while a separate help article on regenerating headshots says every standard package includes one free retry. Ask support to confirm the allowance for the package you are buying, especially on Basic.

A generated image is a candidate, not a finished portrait. More candidates give you more to inspect; they do not tell you which service preserves your likeness, and neither provider publishes a usable-image rate.

## What actually differs

- Entry, middle and top tiers cost $0.47 / $0.48 / $0.39 per generated image with us and $0.97 / $0.78 / $0.84 with HeadshotPro.
- You get 40, 60 or 100 images; HeadshotPro includes 30, 50 or 70.
- Every tier includes the whole wardrobe of your pack, while HeadshotPro keeps style selection for Professional and Executive.
- Both include one re-run or redo on the middle and top packages. Ours is a full-batch regeneration; HeadshotPro's redo runs within 14 days.
- Our refund window is 7 days from delivery and survives a download; HeadshotPro's full refund needs an order with nothing downloaded.
- HeadshotPro includes photo credits for edits at every tier. We do not, and our re-run replaces the batch instead of adjusting a frame.

## Outfits in the Professional pack

Four of the six outfits included in every tier, shown on the pack's own studio set.

- **Steel-grey blazer** (outfit): ![Steel-grey blazer outfit example from the Professional Headshots pack](https://www.smartheadshots.ai/assets/looks/professional/woman/attire/steel-grey-blazer.webp)

## When HeadshotPro is the better buy

Four published differences favour HeadshotPro, and they are worth weighing honestly.

**Its style library is wider than one profession.** Basic uses preselected combinations, while Professional and Executive open a style library to choose from. Our packs are narrower on purpose: six outfits and six backdrops chosen for one kind of work.

**Its published turnaround is faster above the entry tier:** about 30 minutes for Professional and 15 minutes for Executive, against our 1 hour and 30 to 45 minutes. When a portrait is needed for a deadline this week, speed can outweigh a lower cost per image.

**Its packages include photo credits for edits** (6, 26 and 46 across Basic, Professional and Executive), which we do not offer. Our included re-run regenerates the batch under the [refund policy](/refund) rather than adjusting a single frame.

**Its team tooling is established.** If a company already runs team portraits through HeadshotPro's invitations and shared styles, switching costs may outweigh the price gap. Compare our [team credits](/team-headshots) first: they cost $39 per person, with volume pricing from 5 credits (15% off), and admins never see members' source photos.

## How the two refund policies differ

**Smart Headshots AI:** request a full refund within **7 calendar days after delivery**. Viewing or downloading the gallery does not by itself disqualify you. Starter can request a refund directly; on Professional and Executive, likeness or quality complaints normally go through the included re-run first. **Keep every source photo:** deleting one before a request or during review ends the refund and re-run guarantee. A re-run delivered after the original window extends the request deadline by 48 hours. The [refund policy](/refund) lists eligibility, exceptions and your statutory rights.

**HeadshotPro:** its [terms and conditions](https://www.headshotpro.com/legal/terms-and-conditions), dated October 22, 2026, give a full refund within **14 days of purchase only while no generated photo has been downloaded**. Quality and technical complaints are reviewed by support inside the same window and the outcome is discretionary, as are change-of-mind requests. Its [pricing page](https://www.headshotpro.com/pricing) and [refund help article](https://www.headshotpro.com/docs/individual/billing/refund-policy) use broader money-back wording, but the terms carry the published eligibility rule. The clock starts at purchase rather than delivery, so a late set leaves less usable time than the headline number suggests.

## Refund rules side by side

Policy snapshot: October 27, 2026. Summaries only; the linked policies carry the full conditions, and mandatory consumer rights apply separately.

| Question | Smart Headshots AI | HeadshotPro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| When the window opens | On delivery of the gallery | On purchase |
| Window length | 7 calendar days after delivery | 14 calendar days after purchase |
| Downloads | Allowed; downloading alone does not disqualify a claim | Full refund requires that no generated photo was downloaded |
| Quality complaints | Re-run first on Professional and Executive, then refund if unresolved | Support review inside the 14 days; outcome is discretionary |
| Source photos | Keep the full set until the claim closes; normally deleted 7 days after delivery | Input photos are deleted 30 days after gallery generation, or earlier on request |

**Put the wardrobe choice back in your hands** $29 for 60 portraits, every outfit and backdrop in the pack, and a re-run if the batch misses. [Start the Professional pack](https://www.smartheadshots.ai/start?pack=professional)

## What happens to your uploaded photos

Our [privacy policy](/privacy) normally deletes source photos and the training archive 7 days after delivery, and the gallery and private model after 30 days. Download the portraits you want to keep before then. We train a private model for your session, and your photos are not used to train a public or shared Smart Headshots AI model.

HeadshotPro's [terms](https://www.headshotpro.com/legal/terms-and-conditions) say input photos are deleted 30 days after gallery generation, or earlier on request, and that inputs and outputs are not used to train or retrain generative models. Its pricing FAQ adds that uploaded selfies and generated results auto-delete after 30 days, and that download links for kept photos last 7 days. Longer retention is not automatically worse: it pairs with its longer refund window, while our 7-day schedule is matched to our own window.

Both services rely on third-party providers to process images, so read each privacy policy for where data is handled. Our display images served through a CDN can stay in a cache for up to 24 hours after the stored file is deleted.

## HeadshotPro vs Aragon: which is better?

There is no universal winner, and the answer depends on which package you would actually buy. **HeadshotPro** currently lists US$29, US$39 and US$59 for 30, 50 and 70 images, with about 2 hours, 30 minutes and 15 minutes, photo credits for edits, a free redo on the top two tiers and 4K only in Executive. **Aragon** currently displays US$35, US$45 and US$75 in a temporary 20% promotion for 40, 60 and 100 images, with 45, 30 and 15 minutes, one attire and background on Basic, two of each on Standard, and the full selection on Executive.

Choose HeadshotPro if you want edit credits, its team tooling or the broader style library. Choose Aragon if you want a larger top-tier count, a faster published estimate on the entry package, or its wider photo tools. Both set a 14-day refund window that starts at purchase, and both treat a download as use. The [Aragon AI comparison](/guides/aragon-ai-alternative) carries the full package and privacy detail. This is a published-feature comparison, not a test result.

## Is HeadshotPro legit? What the official pages show

HeadshotPro is an operating AI headshot service with public individual and team pricing, a help centre and terms dated October 22, 2026. That is what this page can verify: package prices, image counts, turnaround estimates, redo wording, refund conditions and retention statements. We did not buy or test a package, so we cannot verify output quality, and roundups that claim a tested winner are making their publisher's claim, not ours.

Before paying, check four things: the checkout total, the redo allowance on your tier, the refund rule, and the retention line. The refund clock starts at purchase, so a gallery that arrives late leaves less of the 14 days available.

## Choosing around your work

- **You want one profession's wardrobe, chosen by you.** Open the outfit list on the [Professional pack](/professional-headshots) or the [LinkedIn pack](/linkedin-headshots) before paying.
- **You need a broad preset library or included edit credits.** HeadshotPro's styles and photo credits fit that task better; confirm the current package on its pricing page.
- **You are buying for a team.** Our [team credits](/team-headshots) cost $39 per person with volume pricing from 5 credits. Compare both against your headcount and admin needs.
- **You already have one usable photo.** Crop it with the [profile photo cropper](/tools/profile-photo-cropper) instead of buying a batch, or follow the [phone guide](/guides/how-to-take-a-headshot-with-your-phone) for a fresh capture.

The [broader generator comparison](/guides/best-ai-headshot-generators) puts Aragon, BetterPic and free options next to these two. The [BetterPic comparison](/guides/betterpic-alternative) and [Photo AI comparison](/guides/photo-ai-alternative) cover the other subscription and 4K questions. For an application, check [whether a photo belongs on the resume](/guides/headshot-for-resume) first.

## FAQ

### What is a good alternative to HeadshotPro?

Smart Headshots AI is the closer fit when you want the full wardrobe of a profession-specific pack in every tier, a lower cost per generated image and a refund window that does not close because you downloaded the gallery. HeadshotPro remains the better fit for a broad preset style library, included edit credits or an existing team workflow. Aragon, BetterPic and Photo AI are the other services compared on this site. This compares published offers, not tested image quality.

### Is Smart Headshots AI cheaper than HeadshotPro?

Yes at every tier on current prices. Starter is $19 for 40 images against HeadshotPro's US$29 for 30; Professional is $29 for 60 against US$39 for 50; Executive is $39 for 100 against US$59 for 70.

### Does HeadshotPro include a free redo?

Its pricing page and package chooser list a free redo on Professional and Executive within 14 days, and none on Basic. A separate help article on regenerating headshots says every standard package includes one free retry, so the official pages disagree. Ask support to confirm the allowance on the package you are buying. Our Professional and Executive tiers include one full-batch re-run, and Starter does not.

### Can I get a refund after downloading headshots?

Smart Headshots AI does not impose a no-downloads condition: request within 7 days after delivery, keep every source photo and follow the re-run process where it applies. HeadshotPro's terms tie a full refund inside 14 days of purchase to an order where nothing was downloaded; quality cases go to support and are discretionary. Read both policies before you buy.

### Is HeadshotPro legit?

It is an operating AI headshot service with public pricing, a help centre and terms dated October 22, 2026. This page verifies its published packages and policies, not its output quality. Before paying, confirm the checkout total, the redo allowance for your tier and the no-download condition on its full refund.

### How many photos do I need for a HeadshotPro order?

Its pricing page asks for a few selfies and directs buyers to the upload instructions at checkout, so the exact rule is not fixed in the public package table. Smart Headshots AI asks for 8 to 15 current photos so the private model has enough angles and lighting to work from.

### What resolution are HeadshotPro headshots?

Basic is listed at standard resolution, Professional at premium resolution and Executive at 4K, according to its package chooser checked October 27, 2026. With Smart Headshots AI, Starter delivers standard resolution, Professional delivers high resolution and Executive adds 4K downloads.
