Best apps to get your photos rated in 2026
Want honest feedback on your photos? These are the apps and sites where real people rate your pictures in 2026, what each one is best for, and what it costs. We make RATE, so it is listed first, but every option below is described as it is.

Photo rating apps compared
The big differences between photo rating apps are who rates you (real people or an algorithm), whether ratings are anonymous, how you pay for them, and what you learn beyond the score. Here is the quick version before the details.
| App | How you are rated | Who rates | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RATE | 1 to 10 per post, plus who rates you highest by age group, gender and country | Real people, anonymous, 18+ | Free; optional Gold | An honest overall rating and the stats behind it |
| Photofeeler | Trait scores, such as smart, trustworthy and attractive | Voters on the site | Free karma or paid credits | Testing one headshot or dating photo |
| phrodia | Trait questions shown as scores out of 10, with comments | Real people you can target by age and gender | First test free, then credits | Detailed feedback for dating, business or fitness photos |
| r/Rateme | Redditors reply with a 1 to 10 score and a comment | Reddit users, usernames public | Free | Written opinions, if you can take bluntness |
| DoYouLookGood | 1 to 10 ratings; a mutual like opens a chat | Members, anonymous per its terms | Free | Rating plus meeting people |
| FaceRank | Voters pick the better of two photos | Real people | Free to vote; credits to upload | Choosing between two photos |
| Rate Me (Android) | 1 to 10 ratings, chat and a score map by country | App users; you see who rated you | Free with ads | Casual rating and chatting |
| UMax (AI) | An AI score and tips from a selfie | An algorithm, not people | Subscription, from $3.99 a week | A quick AI opinion, not how people see you |
RATE: honest 1 to 10 ratings and who rates you highest
On RATE you post up to 4 photos of yourself as one post, and real people rate it 1 to 10, anonymously. No names, no likes and no comments, so people rate what they actually think. Once enough people have rated, you see your average, how many rated, and which age groups, genders and countries rate you highest.
It is free, for adults 18+, and every photo is checked before it goes live. If you and someone else rate each other 8 or higher, a private chat opens, though you can switch matching off and only rate. You install it from app.rate-app.com on iPhone, Android or a computer, and it is also on Google Play.
Photofeeler and phrodia: feedback on specific traits
Photofeeler is the best-known photo testing site. You choose dating, business or social, and voters score your photo on traits for that use, for example smart, trustworthy and attractive for dating. You earn free tests by voting on other photos, or buy credits for faster results. It is built to judge one photo at a time.
phrodia works in a similar way, with trait questions turned into scores out of 10, written comments and the option to chat with a rater. It also breaks results down by gender, age group and country, and lets you pick who rates you. Your first test is free; after that you earn or buy credits.
Reddit communities: free, public and blunt
r/Rateme is a large Reddit community where you post a photo and people reply with a score from 1 to 10 and a comment. r/amiugly works the same way with comments instead of numbers. Both are free and you get real written opinions, but nothing is anonymous: your post and every reply sit under public usernames, and some replies can be harsh.
Other photo rating apps worth knowing
DoYouLookGood is a web app where members rate photos 1 to 10 and a mutual like opens a chat, so it mixes rating with meeting people. FaceRank skips the number: voters pick which of two photos is better, which helps when you are choosing a profile picture. Rate Me on Android offers 1 to 10 ratings, chat and a map of your scores by country, but ratings are not anonymous and the app is rated for teens.
AI attractiveness apps such as UMax are a different thing: they score a selfie with an algorithm in seconds, usually behind a subscription. That can be fun, but the number is a prediction from your pixels, not how real people see you.
How to choose a photo rating app
Start with your goal, then check a few things before you upload your face anywhere.
- Real people or AI? Only people can tell you how people see you.
- Anonymous or public? Anonymous ratings tend to be more honest and less cruel.
- One number or the why? Breakdowns by age group, gender and country tell you more than a single score.
- Who is allowed in? An 18+ app with photo checks is a safer place to share your face.
- How you pay: free, credits you earn by rating, or a subscription.
How RATE works
- Post up to 4 photosClear, recent photos of you. Every photo is checked before it goes live.

- See your score and who rates you highestYour average, plus breakdowns by age group, gender and country. Rate each other 8+ and it is a match.
Questions
What is the best app to get your photos rated?
It depends on what you want to know. For an honest overall 1 to 10 rating from real people with stats on who rates you highest, use RATE. For trait scores on a single photo, Photofeeler or phrodia. For free written opinions, r/Rateme.
Is there a free app where real people rate my photos?
Yes. RATE is free: you post your photos and real people rate them 1 to 10, anonymously. Photofeeler lets you earn free tests by voting, and r/Rateme on Reddit is free but public.
Which photo rating apps are anonymous?
On RATE nobody sees who gave which rating. DoYouLookGood says ratings are anonymous in its terms. On Reddit and on Rate Me for Android, people can see who rated them.
Can an AI attractiveness test tell how people see me?
An AI test predicts a score from your pixels, so the same face can score differently with other light or angles. If you want to know how people actually see you, ask people.
What happened to Hot or Not?
Today hotornot.com forwards to Chat and Date, a yes or no dating app. For the old idea of strangers rating your photo 1 to 10, apps like RATE are the modern version.
