HONEST COMPARISON
FreeHeadshot vs Aragon.ai Free Tier
Aragon.ai launched a free waitlist tier in 2025 alongside their long-running $35–$75 one-time paid packs. They have one of the largest style catalogs (~70 packs), strong on Travel + Cozy + Holiday verticals.
FreeHeadshot wins
Aragon's free tier is waitlist-gated and lower-resolution — ours is immediate, no email required. Aragon's paid tier starts at $35 (Basic, 40 photos, 1 attire/bg) and goes to $75 (Executive, 100 photos, all attire/bg). Our $19 Studio Session = 100 photos + all 68 styles. We're 47% cheaper than Aragon Basic and 75% cheaper than Aragon Executive, with comparable photo count + a richer style catalog (we have Age + Cultural + Photographer-named styles they don't).
Aragon.ai Free Tier wins
Aragon has stronger Cozy / Travel / Holiday packs (Cottage Core, Santorini, Hot Air Balloon, Lantern Festival, etc.) which we're adding incrementally per our research roadmap.
