PinkMirror vs BecomeTen: a 0–10 proportion score with a subscription against a calibrated one-time rating

PinkMirror is a browser face analyser that scores geometric proportions on a 0–10 scale, with free tiers of five or ten analyses a month and a $9.97 monthly plan, and its policy allows photos to train models. BecomeTen gives a free calibrated 0–100 score, deletes free-scan photos at once, and sells the report once for €6.99.

How the two differ

PinkMirror is one of the older browser face analysers, and it sits next to a retouching service on the same site. You upload a well-lit frontal photo, its algorithms examine what the home page calls facial structure, bone composition and skin characteristics, and you receive a report with a 0–10 face attractiveness score, a face shape and makeover tips. Its own blog is unusually forthcoming about the method: the score comes from geometric proportions and distances between features, judged against the rule of fifths, the rule of thirds and a lateral rule, with symmetry, feature shape and skin tone and clarity also considered.

BecomeTen is a rater with a plan. One photo returns a 0–100 score, one of eight tiers and a share card free, without an account. The full report is €6.99 once and adds 30+ traits across harmony, eye area, jaw and chin, skin and hair as directional bands, a non-surgical potential capped per area, and a plan whose every step carries an evidence level and cites only a curated PubMed-verified library. It does not retouch photos and does not score against the golden ratio or a neoclassical canon.

The money works differently too. PinkMirror is metered: five analyses a month free without an account, ten with a free registration, fifty on the $9.97 monthly Elite Access plan, which also unlocks the detailed report and removes ads. BecomeTen has one free scan per device per day and a one-time report; PRO exists only for people who want repeated scans with progress tracking, at €9.99 a month or €59.99 a year for 20 scans per rolling 30 days.

Who each is for

PinkMirror is for someone who wants a quick proportion-based score several times a month, likes the idea of a classical-canon explanation of the result, and may also want the retouching side of the site. Its pricing page describes the free tiers as a limited-feature trial and is clear that subscription payments are non-refundable once started, with a refund request window of 14 days if the service has not been fully consumed. What the pages do not state is who operates the site or which studies the science-backed claim rests on.

BecomeTen is for an adult who wants the number to have a stated meaning and the advice to be checkable. An average, healthy, groomed person lands around 50–60; above 80 is reserved for striking structure; the scale is not adjusted for ethnicity or gender. Potential is capped in code at harmony +6, eye area +10, jaw and chin +14, skin +25, hair +20, and structural traits are named as structural rather than dressed up as fixable. It is 18+, English only, and there is no store app yet. The rubric is on the methodology page.

What the number means

PinkMirror's 0–10 has published bands, which is more than most tools offer: 3.0–6.9 is average and described as the general population, 7.0–8.9 attractive with near-perfect symmetry, 9.0–10 exceptional. The same post warns that the system has limitations, that beauty is the proportion of the whole face rather than individual features, and that the score varies with the angle of the photo. Read together, that is an honest description of a geometry calculator: it measures how close the landmarks in one photo fall to a set of ratios.

BecomeTen's 0–100 is anchored differently. The average band is narrower and lower, around 50–60, because the scale is built to leave room above it and to be strict rather than kind. Nothing is scored against a canon or a ratio; the five areas are weighted, the photo is graded first, and a difference within two points is noise. The community's 1–8 ladder is a third scale again, mapped from the score on the PSL score page. A PinkMirror 7 and a BecomeTen 70 are not the same claim, and neither is a measurement.

If what you want is the proportion read itself, BecomeTen's free facial ratios tool and face symmetry tool give it in the browser with no account, as directions and bands rather than decimals. The facial fifths and facial thirds glossary entries explain what those rules actually are and are not.

Photo and privacy

PinkMirror's privacy policy is specific and worth reading before uploading. Photos are private by default and visible only to you when logged in. You can delete any or all photos from the dashboard; deletion is immediate in the interface and completed on all backups within 30 days. Photos are encrypted at rest and stored until you delete them. The policy also states that uploaded photos may be used to train or improve machine-learning models, and that photos and biometric data are never sold or licensed to third parties. The service is not directed to children under 13. No legal entity or country is named on the pages checked; the policy refers to the controller simply as PinkMirror.

On a BecomeTen free scan the photo is processed for the rating and deleted straight after; only the text analysis remains. A paid scan is stored encrypted in the EU until you delete it or your account. No model is trained on your photos, sold or licensed. The seller is Appinara s. r. o. in Slovakia, with public terms, refunds and a privacy policy. The training clause is the concrete difference between the two policies; the deletion rights are similar.

Questions

How many free analyses does PinkMirror give per month?

Per its pricing page, five a month on the Explorer's Pass without registering and ten a month on the free Member's Circle after registering; the $9.97 monthly Elite Access plan lists fifty, the detailed report and no ads. BecomeTen is not metered monthly: one free scan per device per day, no account, and the report is a single €6.99 payment.

What is an average PinkMirror score?

PinkMirror's own blog defines 3.0–6.9 as average and calls that group the general population, with 7.0–8.9 attractive and 9.0–10 exceptional. The same post says the score varies with photo angle and is not final. BecomeTen's average band is around 50–60 on a 0–100 scale, stated up front and not adjusted for ethnicity or gender.

Can PinkMirror use my photo to train its models?

Its privacy policy says uploaded photos may be used to train or improve machine-learning models, that photos are private by default, and that you can delete them, with backups cleared within 30 days. BecomeTen never uses a photo for training, deletes a free-scan photo right after scoring, and keeps a paid photo encrypted only until you delete it.

Does the rule of fifths or thirds decide a BecomeTen score?

No. Those are drawing conventions PinkMirror's blog uses to explain its geometry score. BecomeTen weights five areas of the face, grades the photo first and reports proportions as directional bands, because the evidence library it cites supports symmetry, averageness and skin as cues, not closeness to equal fifths or thirds.

Is PinkMirror a face rating or a retouching site?

Both, on the same site: the home page offers an instant face analysis report with a 0–10 score and face shape, and the testimonials and privacy scope also cover photo retouching. BecomeTen only rates and plans; it does not edit the photo, and its potential preview is an illustration bounded by capped, non-surgical potential.
