For one portrait project, compare a one-time shoot with the commitment of a recurring credit plan. MyPhotoAI's current US Starter option is US$5 for 3 HD photos from one shoot. PhotoAI.com's checked monthly setting shows Starter at US$19 with 50 credits per month, and Pro at US$49 with 1,000.1 2 The names are similar, but the offers compared here belong to different websites.
This comparison is published by MyPhotoAI and was checked October 19, 2026. We have not purchased PhotoAI, generated a matched set in both products or measured an output-quality winner.
Compare purchase units before sticker prices
| Checked offer | Purchase structure | Stated allowance |
|---|---|---|
| MyPhotoAI Starter | US$5 for one shoot | 3 HD photos from that shoot |
| MyPhotoAI Everything | US$10 for one shoot | All photos from that shoot, without a fixed count promised here |
| PhotoAI Starter, Monthly | US$19 per month | 50 AI credits per month |
| PhotoAI Pro, Monthly | US$49 per month | 1,000 AI credits per month |
The PhotoAI public pricing section also offers yearly billing.2 Check the actual billing selection and amount due rather than treating an annual plan's monthly equivalent as a month-to-month purchase.
Credits are not a finished-photo count
PhotoAI's credit guide lists different charges by action, including 2 credits for a Hyper Realism photo and 5 for a Nano Banana Pro photo. It says subscription credits expire monthly and distinguishes extra purchased credits.3
That means a 50-credit allowance is not a promise of 50 finished portraits you will use. The cost depends on the actions selected. Do not compare the credit balance directly with the number of included HD files in a shoot package, and do not turn either allowance into an assumed likeness success rate.
Write down how often you expect to create new content and which actions matter. A recurring workflow can justify a different purchase from a one-off profile refresh. If you only need a few current portraits, keep the first project's total commitment visible.
Check the use label on the selected tier
The checked PhotoAI pricing table labels Starter for personal use and lists a commercial-use license on Pro.2 Confirm the applicable terms and plan before using an image for a business purpose. This is the plan distinction shown in the checked offer; read the applicable terms for your intended use.
If you need team administration, a particular editing action or video, verify that specific entitlement rather than assuming every subscription includes every advertised feature. We have not tested the paid functions or an individual checkout.
For MyPhotoAI, the current pricing page and Terms describe its own purchase.1 Do not transfer another service's credit rules, license labels or cancellation conditions to a MyPhotoAI shoot.
Keep the MyPhotoAI scope clear
MyPhotoAI Plus is US$10 for 10 HD photos, and Everything is US$10 for the photos from one shoot in the current US offer.1 There is no subscription in that offer. A later new shoot requires another purchase, and Everything does not cover unlimited future generations.
You can browse sample looks before deciding. Those are style examples, not personalized photos of you generated before payment. The plan explanation helps choose the allowance rather than buying from the tier name alone.
Choose from the work you actually plan
A recurring credit plan deserves inspection when repeated creation and its stated functions fit the work. A small paid shoot deserves consideration when a few portraits solve the immediate brief. Compare the actual selected plan, total amount due, allowed use and source-photo workflow before committing.

For another recurring pool, the PhotoGPT comparison reserves training credits before estimating output. The Magic Hour guide separates the daily headshot route from paid credits and saved references.
