What the Mogged app (also called Umog) actually is
Mogged is a family of iOS apps, not a single product: independent coverage describes at least three separate listings under names including "Mogged" and "Umog," run by different developers, offering PSL-style facial rating across 20+ features — jawline, cheekbones, eye spacing, skin, symmetry — plus a "potential score" and a 30-day habit-tracking improvement program.
Because these are separate listings, not one app under two names, a review of one tells you nothing about another. Check the developer name in the App Store before installing, and don't assume a rating for one listing applies to a different one that happens to share a name.
What Mogged and Umog cost
One detailed 2026 review lists a one-off scan at $6.99, a weekly subscription around $3.99, and an annual plan at $79.99 — while noting pricing "A/B-tests constantly and differs by region," so the exact figure shown to you may not match what a review reported. Mogalytics has exactly one price: a $12 one-time unlock, the same for everyone, with no subscription tier and no A/B-tested paywall.
Photo upload vs. on-device: the real difference
The core Mogged scan requires uploading a selfie for the AI to analyze. One variant advertises on-device processing as a differentiator — described by an independent review as "a real privacy plus in a category that mostly ignores the question," which implies most apps in this category do upload photos to a server by default.
Mogalytics never uploads a photo, video frame, or landmark for any of its six measurements. The reading runs entirely inside your own browser via on-device MediaPipe landmark detection — there is no server-side scan to opt out of.
The scan → flaw list → rescan loop
The same review describes the underlying business loop plainly: "scan → flaw list → protocol → rescan," with the revenue "in return visits" because the app is "engineered never to say done." That's a structural observation about the product category, not a claim Mogalytics can verify about any one app's internals.
The reviewer also offers a warning worth repeating regardless of which app you use: if a rating app is making you avoid mirrors, cameras, or people, that's a signal to stop and talk to someone who knows you offline — not a problem another scan will fix.
Where Mogalytics actually differs
- No photo, video frame, or landmark is ever uploaded — the whole reading runs in your browser.
- One flat $12, one time. No subscription, no weekly billing, no region-based A/B-tested paywall.
- No habit-tracking program, no "protocol," no built-in reason to keep re-buying rescans.
- Six named geometry measurements you can inspect yourself — not a bundled skincare or improvement plan.
What it doesn't do: replace a live duel, diagnose anything, or guarantee a specific score. It's a private setup-testing instrument, not a rating service you subscribe to. See the practice guide for what it actually measures.
