DatingShoot alternative

DatingShoot makes AI dating photos. You upload your current photos, and its AI makes a full photoshoot of new pictures that look like you.

The Face They See does not make new photos. It helps you choose between photos you already have by asking 5 real people of the opposite gender to put them in order.

When DatingShoot is a good pick

DatingShoot is a good pick if you do not have many photos of yourself and want more to choose from. It can be easier than setting up a real photoshoot.

The main difference

Before you pay for new photos, it can help to know how your current ones do. You might already have a photo that real people like. If you do get new photos, you can upload 3 of them to us and see which one people of the opposite gender pick first.

Why try The Face They See

Real people rank your photos, not AI.
Five people of the opposite gender put your 3 photos in order from best to worst.
You choose the age range of the people who rank you, and you can pick ethnicity too if you want.
Every upload is free forever, including your second, third, and every one after that.
Paying is only an optional way to skip the wait. Starting with your second upload, you can skip the line for $10 for one set or $30 for 5.
For a limited time, the first 250 accounts get 5 free credits to skip the line ($30 value), and they never expire.
Each upload goes live after you rank 5 other sets of photos, and after that, every 5 sets you rank moves you up one spot in line.
"I didn't like these photos" votes are shown separately from the rankings.
Bot checks help make sure the people ranking you are real.
Your photos are only shown for ranking, and your location is never shown.
You can pause or remove your photos anytime.
You get a results card you can share.

How simple it is

The site is easy to use. You sign up, upload 3 photos, and rank 5 other sets of photos, which takes less than a minute. Then your photos go live and get ranked. You don't need to download an app, and there are no complicated scores or AI reports to read.

What it costs

Many photo rating sites have confusing ways to earn or buy credits. Our plan is much simpler.

The site is free forever. You upload 3 photos and rank 5 other sets of photos. Then 5 real people of the opposite gender rank your photos for free. You get real results without paying anything.

Every upload is free, including your second, third, and every one after that. Starting with your second upload, you can choose to pay $10 to skip the line once or $30 for 5 skips if you don't want to wait. Paying only moves your photos up in line. It does not change your results.
