"Free" in most SaaS tools means a crippled version designed to frustrate you into paying. Pixshop's free tier is different — not because it is unlimited, but because it gives you real results from the same AI model used for paid plans. Here is exactly what you get.
What 3 free credits gets you
When you sign up for Pixshop, you get 3 credits with no credit card required. Each credit runs one AI generation — one selfie through one look in a pack. Three credits is enough to get three genuinely useful results.
- A LinkedIn-ready headshot from the headshots pack
- A dating profile photo from the dating pack
- A team directory or company bio portrait
- A travel portrait or creative look if that is what you need
The results come from the same AI model used for paid plans. The quality is not reduced. The only difference is quantity.
What free doesn't include
- Retries on a look you want to see again — each credit is a one-time run
- Access to multiple packs in the same session without spending multiple credits
- Batch generation for teams
- Subscription-only features like saved history and priority generation
Free vs paid — what actually changes
Free gets you enough to know whether Pixshop works for you. Most users who try it know within the first result. Paid plans add credits for more looks, the ability to retry looks you like, and access to the full pack catalog. The model quality, the selfie fidelity, and the output resolution are identical.
When to upgrade
- You used your 3 credits and want more looks from the same selfie
- You want to try a different pack — dating photos after getting headshots, for example
- You need to refresh your photos every few months as your look changes
- You are getting headshots for a whole team and need credits for multiple people
3 free credits. No credit card. Results in under a minute. If the first result does not impress you, you have not spent a thing.
