Fazly vs UMAX
Four dimensions that actually differ, and what Fazly does about each.
UMAX is the app that made AI face rating a category, and it reached that position through TikTok rather than through search. Fazly arrived later and is built around a different bet: that the number is only worth having if you can see what produced it. The practical differences a reader is choosing between are four. Where the photo is processed — Fazly's eleven browser tools run entirely on your device and never transmit the image. Whether the score can be checked — every Fazly measurement is shown with its target and its weight, and the face-shape verdict shows the four ratios behind it. What it costs to try — the browser tools need no account, no email and no install. And languages — Fazly is written, not machine-translated, in five. Check UMAX's own site for its current answers; they change.
Which one is for you
Choose Fazly if
You want to measure something before installing anything, and you want to see the arithmetic behind the number.
Choose UMAX if
You want the app the category is named after, with the largest community around it and the most familiar result format.
What they do better
Reach and recognition. UMAX defined how these results look and read, and a result format most people already recognise is genuinely easier to interpret than a new one.
What Fazly does, dimension by dimension
| Dimension | Fazly |
|---|---|
| Where your photo is processed | The free tools run Google's MediaPipe face mesh as WebAssembly in your browser. The image is never transmitted — there is no upload endpoint for it, which you can confirm in your browser's network tab. The app uploads scans, and any scan can be deleted. |
| Whether you can check the number | Every tool shows the measurement, the target it was scored against, and the weights behind the composite. The face-shape detector shows the four ratios that produced its verdict, so you can disagree with it on the evidence. |
| What it costs to try | The eleven browser tools are free and need no account, no email and no install. The app is free to download and free to scan; Pro adds the full breakdown, the roadmap and a new scan every week. |
| Languages | Five, fully: English, Turkish, German, Spanish and Portuguese. Not a machine-translated shell — the tool copy, the bands and the questions are written in each. |
| What the scores claim to be | Distances from a stated convention, said so on every page. Fazly does not claim its targets are findings about attractiveness, because they are not. |
This page states what Fazly does, which is checkable from this site. It does not list the other app's prices or features, because those change and a comparison page that is wrong about a competitor is worse than no comparison page at all — check their own site for their current answer.
Questions
Is Fazly free?
The eleven measurement tools on fazly.app are free with no account at all — no email, no install, nothing to cancel. The app is separately free to download and free to scan, with a Pro tier for the full breakdown and the roadmap.
Which one is more accurate?
Neither claim is checkable, because there is no ground truth for facial attractiveness to be accurate about. What is checkable is whether a tool shows its working. Fazly does, on every measurement, which is the only comparison of this kind worth making.
Do I need to pick one?
No, and running the same photo through both is the most useful thing you can do with an afternoon. Where two tools disagree, the one that shows the ratios behind its answer is the one you can actually investigate.
