Choose Face Rater when
You want a result right now, you would rather keep the scan on your own device, or you want to compare retakes of the same pose under the same light. Nobody has to vote, so you can try ten photos in a few minutes. Each result shows the measurements behind it, so you can see what changed between two shots instead of guessing why a number moved.
Choose Photofeeler when
You want to know how strangers read a photo. Photofeeler collects scores on traits such as smart, trustworthy and attractive from real people, which a geometry tool cannot do. It also has separate business, social and dating categories. If your question is "do I look trustworthy here?", human votes are the better instrument.
Photofeeler vs Face Rater: how they work
On Photofeeler you upload a photo and other users vote on it. You earn votes by voting on other photos, or you buy credits to skip voting. On Face Rater, landmarks are measured on your device: the tool checks the photo is usable, calculates symmetry, proportions and eye-area harmony, and shows a 0–100 reference score with a named tier.
What waiting and credits mean in practice
With voting, your result depends on how many votes you collect, and each photo needs enough of them to mean something. Credits remove the voting but cost money per vote, so testing several photos adds up. A local scan has no queue and no per-vote cost, which suits sorting a camera roll down to a shortlist.
Who sees your photo
Photofeeler shows your photo to other users while a test is running, then makes it private again. Face Rater has no voters, so the scan never shows your photo to anyone. If you buy the report, you confirm first, and the photo is uploaded for safety review and seven styling images.
A simple way to use both
Use Face Rater to rule out photos with a tilted head, a turned face or poor sharpness, since those cost nothing to check. Then, if you want to know how people react, put your best one or two through a human test. You spend votes only on photos that are already technically sound. Retake until your head is level and your face is sharp, then keep the two strongest shots. A photo that passes these checks can still read badly to strangers, which is why a human test stays useful after a technical one.

QUESTIONS
Photofeeler alternative questions
Is there a free alternative to Photofeeler?
Face Rater is free for the scan, score, tier and three measurements, with no voting needed. It answers a different question, because it measures geometry rather than collecting opinions.
Is Face Rater as accurate as Photofeeler?
They measure different things, so one is not more accurate. Photofeeler reports human impressions, and Face Rater reports repeatable measurements of one photo using reference ranges that are still pending calibration.
Can this rate my dating profile photos?
It can show how sharp and front-facing a photo is enough to measure, and how it scores. It does not judge whether a photo will get matches, and it does not review a full Tinder or Hinge profile.
Do I have to vote on other people?
No. There are no voters and no credits. Your scan runs on your device, and nobody else sees your photo or your score.
Is my photo shown to anyone?
Not in the scan, because the photo stays in your browser. If you buy the report, you confirm separately before it is uploaded for safety review and styling images.
How much does Photofeeler cost?
Its Karma test is free if you vote on other photos. Credits replace voting: 40 for $9, 100 for $19, 250 for $39 and 650 for $79, and one credit equals one vote.
When was this comparison checked?
