A: Thanks for the question, it's a great one.

While ChatGPT can assist with general image generation using broader prompts, PhotoGPT is built specifically for creating highly photorealistic personal headshots using your own trained model. It’s not just about generating any image — it’s about generating you, styled exactly the way you want, across a wide range of presets, settings, and formats.

As for Tier 1, you're right that it’s more limited compared to Tier 3, but it’s still a fully functional plan, especially if you're an individual user looking to explore or use the platform occasionally. It gives you access to core features like personalized model training, basic aspect ratios, and 25 curated presets to get started.

If your needs are more advanced or creative in scope, Tier 3 does unlock a much broader canvas. But Tier 1 is a solid starter to experience what the platform can do.
