HeadshotPro is the best-known AI headshot service, with a large customer base and team plans. It also asks for a folder of selfies, a fee up front and an hour or two of waiting. Flash Formal is built for the opposite moment: you need a decent profile photo right now.

You have one usable photo and a deadline, you want to see the result before paying anything, or you specifically want the output to still look like you rather than an idealised version of you.
