When Umax is a good pick

Umax is a good pick if you want a detailed face analysis and tips for working on your looks. It is built for people who want to track changes over time.

The main difference

A face rating does not tell you which photo to post. Lighting, smile, and setting can change how people see you from one photo to the next. Our rankings show which of your real photos people of the opposite gender like best.

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.
