Looking for a Umax alternative? Here's what it actually costs, uploads, and where Mogalytics differs.

Umax (App Store listing: "Umax - Become Hot," developer Improvement Tech LLC) is a free download that analyzes an uploaded selfie and returns an attractiveness-focused score plus "glow-up" recommendations. An independent 2026 comparison of looksmaxxing apps reports it has crossed 7 million downloads, making install count its main distinguishing feature in this category — scale, not method.

The listing itself states plainly: "We do not offer medical advice. Any and all recommendations should be viewed as suggestions." The app is rated 18+.

The app is free to download, but its own App Store listing shows a layered paywall: weekly premium at $3.99-$9.99, monthly premium at $9.99-$24.99, plus named add-ons like a "Supercharge" purchase and individual AI scans sold separately. An independent comparison cites the common entry price as $3.99 a week — roughly $200 a year if left running.

Mogalytics has exactly one price: a $12 one-time unlock, the same for everyone, with no weekly or monthly billing and no per-scan fee.

Umax follows the exact "free to install, paywalled to actually use" pattern described generally on why most face-rating apps are free: the download costs nothing, but the paywall sits immediately after the upload, before you see a usable result. It requires uploading a selfie to a server for analysis — there is no on-device or offline option in the listing.

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 and no per-scan fee to unlock.

Mogalytics has no visibility into Umax's model, servers, or scoring logic and makes no claim about its accuracy. An independent 2026 comparison of looksmaxxing apps flags a specific "same face, different score" inconsistency report for Umax — the same photo returning different results on separate scans. That's worth weighing against a recurring weekly charge before subscribing.

Mogalytics's own six geometry measurements use a 30-frame trimmed-mean window specifically to reduce single-frame noise; the full method is documented on the practice guide.

• No photo, video frame, or landmark is ever uploaded — the whole reading runs in your browser.
• One flat $12, one time. No weekly billing, no monthly billing, no per-scan add-on purchases.
• No "glow-up" coaching program, no upsell stack — just the reading.
• Six named geometry measurements you can inspect yourself, using a 30-frame trimmed-mean window built to reduce single-scan noise.

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 coaching subscription. See the practice guide for what it actually measures.

• RateByFresh alternative — a free-scan-then-paywall example that calls its rating "objective," checked against independent testing.
• LooksMax AI alternative — a free-scan example that blurs the verdict until you pay or refer three friends, scored against a template independent coverage calls narrow and Eurocentric.
• Maxxing app alternative — a face score bundled with a paid glow-up routine and billing complaints in its own App Store reviews.
