LooksMax AI alternatives: browser raters, one-time reports and the other phone app
LooksMax AI is a 13+ phone app with a weekly in-app purchase and a 30-day face-data retention window.

Why do people look for a LooksMax AI alternative?
LooksMax AI's own pages give the reasons. It is a native iOS and Android app from Mnkybrain Labs, free to download with in-app purchases; the US App Store lists a weekly purchase at $3.99, a Pro purchase at $3.99 and consumable boost and content packs from $0.99. What is shown before a purchase is not stated on their site. It is rated 13+ on the App Store and no minimum age appears in its policy or terms. Its privacy policy is the clearest part: face data is retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted, and is not shared or sold unless required by law.
So the usual reasons to look elsewhere are wanting to see the number before spending, wanting a product that is explicitly for adults, wanting advice that cites something, or simply preferring a browser to an app. The candidates below cover each of those. The single-app page is BecomeTen vs LooksMax AI.
BecomeTen
A browser rater, 18+, English only, from Appinara s. r. o. in Slovakia, with no store app yet. The score out of 100, one of eight tiers and a share card are free, one scan per device per day, no sign-up. The full report is €6.99 once: 30+ traits across five areas as directional bands, potential capped at harmony +6, eye area +10, jaw and chin +14, skin +25, hair +20, weak points tagged workable or structural, and a plan whose every step carries an evidence level and cites only a PubMed-verified library. Re-scan €4.99; PRO €9.99 a month or €59.99 a year for 20 scans per rolling 30 days, at most three a day, with progress tracking. Free-scan photos are deleted after scoring; paid ones are stored encrypted in the EU until you delete them. The rubric is on the methodology page and what a score can measure is on AI face rating.
Rate my face
Free score and tier first. The €6.99 report is optional.
Umax
The other phone app, from Improvement Tech LLC, on iOS and Android and rated 18+. Its listing states that analysis results require a subscription and additional scans require an additional purchase; weekly premium tiers start from $3.99 on the US App Store and its terms describe a 3-day free trial that then charges the chosen plan. Its privacy policy keeps face scans for up to one year. Score scale and citations are not stated on their site. Against LooksMax AI, it is the adult-only option with the longer retention window and the harder paywall. The pair are side by side on Umax vs LooksMax AI and Umax's own alternatives are on Umax alternatives.
PrettyScale
A free browser calculator, no account. Its help page says the percentage comes from face shape, the distance between eyes and lips, mouth size and symmetry, with the golden ratio sometimes used, and that results change with how you place the lines and dots. Its home page says photos are not saved or shared and that results could be incorrect. No age, no operator and no studies are stated. It answers the see-a-number-free need completely and the everything-else need not at all. See PrettyScale vs BecomeTen.
The Face Report
A browser product from Known by One, LLC in Delaware. Its pricing page lists a free on-device measurement scan and nine free tools with no account, and a full report at $17.49 once with a full refund within 7 days. The score is 0–100 from landmarks across seven regions, including symmetry and golden ratio alignment. Free-tool photos are deleted within 2 hours per its policy, a paid report keeps a downscaled copy for up to 12 months, and photos are not used for training. It is 18+ for AI features. Its home page mentions peer-reviewed sources in its guides; whether each recommendation in the report carries a citation is not stated on their site.
PFPMaker attractiveness test
A browser tool from a profile-picture company, Logopony OÜ in Estonia per its privacy policy. The tool page gives a free overall score on a 1–10 scale with a PSL equivalent and no sign-up, and unlocks a detailed report with an email address; no price is stated on that page. It builds the score from geometry such as symmetry, golden ratio, canthal tilt, facial thirds and midface ratio, and cites a 1990 Psychological Science paper on averageness. The tool page says photos are processed transiently and never stored or used for training; the privacy policy says guest images are not retained beyond the session while account images are kept until account deletion. The two pages also disagree on age: the tool page says 16, the policy says 18.

What you gain is a price on the public page, a stated calibration and a photo policy with a named retention period.
