FAQ
Is fakesme a wrapper around PhotoAI?
No. We run our own pipeline (Flux, Midjourney v7, ControlNet, custom LoRA). The difference is not in models — the difference is we put a human in the loop who prompts and picks the keepers for you, instead of handing you a panel.
Why can't I just buy $39 PhotoAI and DIY?
You can. But 200 generations → 5 keepers takes an evening of scrolling. We deliver 10–20 keepers in 24-48h. You work once (brief), we do the rest.
What if I already have PhotoAI?
Cool — keep using it for daily content. For brand deals, campaigns and shots that need C2PA, come to us. Most of our clients use both — PhotoAI for volume, fakesme for the moments that matter.
Is fakesme more expensive long-term?
Depends on usage. PhotoAI is $468/yr full-year. fakesme TRY_ME $12 + 4× WEEKEND_ME $62 = $260/yr at 5 orders. If you order every 2-3 months, we are cheaper and you do not waste money in months where you produce nothing.
Can I test fakesme cheap?
Yes. TRY_ME for $12 — 1 set from one location, delivered in 24h. No subscription, no commitment. Not happy? Refund in 14 days.
