The numbers
- 38 of 44 require uploading, selecting, or taking a static photo — a single still image — per their own listing or privacy policy.
- 2 of 44 describe a live-camera reading in some form: Mog 1v1's pass-the-phone "battle mode" and OmoggleMog's live-scan option. Both still capture one frame per scan rather than continuously analyzing, and OmoggleMog's own policy says that frame is held for up to 24 hours.
- 4 of 44 don't clearly state either way in what's publicly documented.
- Mogalytics: a continuous live camera feed, entirely in your browser. There is no photo to select, take, or upload — nothing is ever captured as a file or held afterward.
Snapshot as of 2026-07-27, sourced per row from each app's own listing, description, or privacy policy (click through for the full citation) — app mechanics in this category can and do change without notice. Mogalytics has no visibility into any of these apps' actual behavior beyond the linked source, and makes no claim about them beyond what each page documents.

Live-camera-adjacent, with caveats
Only two apps describe any live-camera flow, and neither is a continuous reading:
| App | What it actually does |
|---|---|
| Mog 1v1: Face Rating Battle | A same-device, pass-the-phone "1v1 battle mode": two people scan their faces on the same phone and its on-device AI crowns a winner — not a match with a stranger over a live feed. |
| OmoggleMog | Can read a live camera feed or an uploaded photo. The captured frame is analyzed locally but "temporarily held for up to 24 hours," per its own site — a single held frame, not a continuous reading. |
Not clearly specified
The remaining 4 apps' own comparison pages document pricing and other details in depth, but no sourced sentence states whether a photo is uploaded, selected, or captured live:
- Beauty Scanner — states processing is local but never specifies how the image is captured.
- PSL Scale - Score & Rating — no sourced capture-method claim found.
- FacePSL: PSL Face Score Lab — Apple's privacy label discloses body data collected, not how it's captured.
- Ascension — discloses front- and side-profile photographs are used, but never says "upload" or "live camera" outright.
