LOOKSMETER · COMPARISON
Looking for a ROAST dating alternative?
ROAST is an online service that reviews dating profiles. LooksMeter works at a smaller scale on purpose: it rates one photo at a time, scores it from 1 to 10 and tells you whether it should lead your lineup, support it or be cut.
One photo at a time
Most profiles are decided by the first photo. Rating photos one by one lets you compare candidates on the same scale and pick the strongest opener.
LooksMeter reads the photo only. It does not read your bio or your prompts.
How LooksMeter compares
Here is what you get, starting with what is free:
A score from 1 to 10
With tier and percentile, free on your first scan with no account.
Five sub-scores
First impression, approachability, styling, photo quality and context.
A slot call
Lead, Supporting or Cut, so you know where the photo belongs in the lineup.
A written report when you want depth
The optional full report covers how the photo reads on Tinder, Hinge and Bumble and which shots the lineup still needs.
Where to start
Rate the photo you currently lead with. If it comes back as Supporting, test your next best candidate.
Frequently asked
Does LooksMeter review my whole profile?
No. It rates one photo at a time and does not read bios or prompts. Use it to choose and order your photos.
Is it free?
Your first scan on every tool is free and needs no account. The full written report behind a result is an optional paid unlock.
Is there a subscription?
Not for a single report. Each report is a one-time purchase that stays in your account. Monthly passes exist for people who scan often, but nothing requires one.
Is my photo kept private?
Nothing is posted to a forum or a public feed unless you choose to share it. A small copy of the photo is saved with your report so the full report can be written from the same image. Free scans made without an account are removed after 3 days if they are not unlocked. The privacy page has the details.
