What you give up either way

  • The vendor’s 100+ curated professional styles and prebuilt templates
  • App Store discoverability, ratings and existing user base
  • Invite-friends/credit promotions and in‑app economy
  • Polished, tested UI/UX and repeated performance optimizations

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches AI Photo Headshot Generator, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
