## Pricing

| | BetterPic | InstaHeadshots |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | $35 — 20 headshots, 2 hours | $39 — 20 headshots, ~90 minutes |
| Middle | $39 — 60 headshots, 1.5 hours | $49 — 40–100 headshots, 30–60 minutes |
| Top | $79 — 120 headshots, 1 hour | $69 — 100+ headshots, 30–60 minutes |
| Teams | $49 per seat, volume pricing to $13 per credit | $9.75 to $49 per user depending on team size |

InstaHeadshots goes lower on per-seat team pricing at scale. BetterPic is cheaper at entry and mid tier for individuals.

## Output

| | BetterPic | InstaHeadshots |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | **4K (4096×4096) on every plan, including the free tier** | **2K (1024×1536)** |
| Formats | JPG, PNG, TIFF | JPEG, PNG |
| Human retouching | Yes — unlimited on one selected photo (Expert), plus one free redo | Not offered; basic post-generation editing only |
| Editing tools | Clothing, background, colour background, background removal, skin, eyes, magic eraser, written-instruction edits, expression, pose | Facial feature stabilisation and eye alignment |

Resolution is the headline difference. Both are fine for a LinkedIn avatar on a standard display; 4K holds up on high-resolution screens, allows cropping and zooming without softening, and is usable for 300 DPI print. 2K is not.

## Teams and enterprise

| | BetterPic | InstaHeadshots |
|---|---|---|
| Admin dashboard | Yes, with per-member status, bulk actions and roles | Team dashboard for invites and progress |
| Bulk invites | Email, CSV upload, self-service invite link | Email invitations |
| Style locking | Per element — outfit, colour, background and pose lock independently | Single AI style selection applied across the team |
| Gender-aware catalogue | Yes | Not listed |
| Roles | Owner, Manager, Employee | Not listed |
| Human edit per employee | Yes, from the team dashboard | Not offered |
| SSO | Yes | No |
| Public API | Yes | No |
| Integrations | — | Zapier |

InstaHeadshots enforces consistency by giving the whole team one style. BetterPic locks per element, so a company can fix the background and still let each person choose clothing — and because the catalogue is gender-filtered, one locked company style still produces appropriate outfits across a mixed workforce.

## Security

| | BetterPic | InstaHeadshots |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance | SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA | GDPR |
| Data residency | Primary storage in the EU (Frankfurt); some data in the US | Not publicly specified |
| Retention | Configurable; instant deletion available | Images deleted after 30 days |
| Training approach | Individual model per session, isolated per account | Individual model per session |

Both train a per-session model rather than reusing one shared model. The gap is in certification: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and CCPA are the ones a regulated employer's procurement team asks for.

## When to pick which

**InstaHeadshots** if per-seat cost at large team sizes is the deciding factor and 2K output is enough.

**BetterPic** if the output needs to survive a high-resolution screen or a printer, if the rollout needs real admin controls, or if procurement needs the certifications.
