Comparisons
Comparing us with HeadshotPro, without inventing facts
An honest comparison: what Starkie Teams does for a whole team, and why we send you to HeadshotPro’s own site for anything about HeadshotPro.
From $39 per person, volume discounts from 5 people.
- 40 headshots per person
- About an hour from selfies to download
- Nobody on the team needs an account
HeadshotPro comes up regularly when companies compare options alongside Starkie Teams, and, on its own site, it presents plans for teams as well as for individuals. As of September 2026 we have not independently verified its current features or prices, so this page does not restate them: for those, its own site is the only source worth trusting. What we can set out precisely is how a rollout works here, so that a buyer comparing two shortlists knows exactly what one side of the comparison contains.

What this page claims and what it does not
Comparison pages usually age badly because they freeze a competitor’s pricing table into someone else’s marketing copy, and six months later both are wrong. The approach here is narrower and more durable. Everything stated about Starkie Teams is a description of behaviour that exists in the product today and can be checked in a trial.
Everything about another vendor is left to that vendor, including what their plans cost, how many photographs they return, how long they take and what they do with uploaded images. Where we do not know something, we say so rather than filling the gap.
The result
Everyone, in the same light.
Choose a backdrop and an outfit once. Every person who joins is generated inside that style, so the team page finally looks like one team rather than a collage of whoever had a photo.

What a rollout to thirty people looks like here
An admin creates the organisation and picks one set of backdrops and outfits that everybody will share. People are invited by email, or with one open invitation link that accepts only company addresses, and each of them consents and uploads selfies from a phone without ever creating an account.
Forty images per person come back, usually inside an hour or so. Automatic reminder emails chase whoever has not uploaded, and an admin can prompt one named colleague or every outstanding one. The whole organisation downloads as a single archive, sorted into folders by name, with a manifest.

The part buyers usually forget to compare
Feature grids concentrate on the photographs and skip the awkward middle: what happens when somebody hates their set, and who decides what gets published. Here an organisation can require approval, which holds every finished set for an admin to review and keeps the delivery email back until they release it.
Rejecting attaches a note and grants a free retake, spending the retry rather than a second credit. With approval on, the group download and gallery list contain approved people only. Those are the mechanics we would want a rival to be asked about too.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this page not compare prices?
Because we would be quoting somebody else’s pricing from memory. Ours is stated plainly: $39 per person, reduced by 20% once an account has bought five credits, then by 30% from twenty-five credits, by 40% from one hundred and by 50% from two hundred and fifty. For HeadshotPro’s current pricing, see their site.
Do employees need accounts with you?
No. A person receives a private link, accepts the consent text there, uploads and later opens their gallery at the same address. There is no password and nothing to install. Only the owners and admins who run the organisation sign in at all.
Can we try it before committing the whole company?
Credits are bought by the account and spent one person at a time, with no minimum group, so inviting three volunteers first is a normal way to start. The style chosen at that point is the same one later colleagues are generated from, so the trial is not thrown away.
What should we ask any AI headshot vendor before buying for a team?
Four things, in our view: how each employee consents and how that consent is recorded, what happens to uploads afterwards, whether anyone can review a set before it reaches the person, and how the finished files come out in bulk. Our roundup page expands that into a checklist you can put to us as well.

Free to set up: you only pay when you buy credits. There is no subscription, and you don't need a card to start.
