Looking for a Hiface alternative? Here's the extra-scan fee its own developer admitted, checked.

Hiface (developer Tap in Love Apps Limited, App Store listing "Hiface - Face Shape Finder") scans an uploaded selfie to identify face shape, recommend matching hairstyles, and estimate a face score. Its App Store listing shows a 4.1-star rating from roughly 1,300 ratings.

The same app is cross-listed on Google Play as "Hiface - Face Shape Detector." Review aggregators tracking that listing report a lower 3.81-star average across a much larger install base — attributed to review aggregators, not independently confirmed by this operator.

Its App Store in-app purchase list shows eight differently named, overlapping tiers rather than one clear price: Premium ($6.99), Premium Weekly ($4.99), Weekly Plan ($5.99), Premium Monthly ($9.99), Yearly Package ($19.99), Annual Plan ($39.99), and Premium Yearly ($49.99), plus a separate Extra Analysis Credit ($1.99). A 3-day free trial is offered that converts to a paid plan.

Mogalytics has exactly one price everywhere: a $12 one-time unlock, no tier to choose between, no trial that auto-converts, and no per-scan credit to buy separately.

One App Store reviewer wrote that scanning your face again costs an additional two dollars and "this is NOT clear from the beginning." Hiface's own developer replied in that review thread, agreeing they "should've been clearer about the extra charge for additional scans" — a rare case of the developer confirming the complaint rather than disputing it.

Other reviewers question whether a subscription running up to $40-50 a year is justified for what one described as a basic face-shape estimate, and one reported the hairstyle suggestions didn't match what the app itself recommended.

Mogalytics never uploads a photo, video frame, or landmark. The scoring math runs in your browser and the same six geometry measurements are documented on the practice guide, so there's no per-scan fee to discover after the fact.

• No photo, video frame, or landmark is ever uploaded — the whole reading runs in your browser.
• One flat $12, one time. No tier to pick between, no auto-converting trial, no extra-scan fee.
• No hairstyle-matching upsell and no claim about how others perceive you.
• A 30-frame trimmed-mean window built to reduce single-scan noise, not a single-selfie snapshot.

What it doesn't do: recommend hairstyles, replace a live duel, or guarantee a specific score. It's a private setup-testing instrument, not a styling subscription. See the practice guide for what it actually measures.

• Why most face-rating apps are free — the paywall-timing mechanics behind this whole app category.
• Moggr app alternative — a hairstyle-and-face scan with a boost-pack paywall and a review questioning whether the scan is even real AI.
• Maxxing app alternative — a face score bundled with a paid glow-up routine and billing complaints in its own App Store reviews.
• PSL Face Rating app alternative — a post-cancellation billing complaint and a review calling the score reader non-functional.
• LooxUP app alternative — a reviewer reports the same face scoring 6.7 to 8.4 between scans, plus two duplicate "Premium week" listings and a similarly-named "Promo week" tier.
• Face Rating AI: Beauty Score alternative — a reviewer calls its advertised free lifetime offer a "bait and switch," with ten overlapping or duplicate-named purchase listings.
• PSL - Looksmax & Ascend alternative — a reviewer reports a results paywall they couldn't click off of, plus a separate review calling its advice generic AI output.
• PSL AI-Jawmax, Looksmax & Mog alternative — two reviewers report paying and then hitting a recurring error, with one asking for a refund after no scan result was ever delivered.
• Beauty Scanner alternative — another eight-overlapping-listing purchase catalog, though its own privacy policy backs a genuine on-device processing claim Hiface's doesn't make.
• PSLMax AI: Looksmax PSL Ascend alternative — a reviewer says the app's own before/after ad photos show two visibly different people.
• Mogger: LooksMax AI alternative — an App Store reviewer titled their review "This app is a scam," with a separate reviewer asking for a refund after dull, repeated results.
• Ascendr: PSL Scale Ascender alternative — multiple App Store reviewers independently titled their reviews "Cash grab" and "Just a money grab" over its purchase listing repeated nine times across seven different prices.
• Face-rating & PSL apps compared — this app alongside dozens of others, pricing and one documented complaint each, in one sourced table.
• UCHAD: See Your Potential alternative — a reviewer reports the app said their results were "locked" the moment they pressed "see my score," with payment required before any score was ever shown.
• Omoggle alternatives, explained — the three different things people mean by that search, and which one Mogalytics is.
