Honest comparison
Fotiqo Retouch AI vs Evoto
Evoto is an excellent desktop AI retoucher — professional dark UI, deep portrait tools, credits charged per exported photo. We match the workflow in the browser, add the things a desktop app cannot (a REST API, hot-folder automation at cloud scale, per-image pricing with no subscription), and let photographers bring their own .cube LUTs.
| Fotiqo Retouch AI | Evoto | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per operation, $0.02–0.20; free real previews | Credits per EXPORT, ≈$0.05–0.25/photo via subscriptions (published) |
| Platform | Browser + REST API + hot-folder script | Windows/Mac desktop app, per-device |
| Your signature look | Style Twin: one $0.20 job learns it from 4-40 photos; applies to every auto-correct | 'Train Your AI Look' inside the desktop app |
| Bring your own LUTs | Any .cube file, $0.04 to apply at full res | Preset/AI-look library |
| Face controls | Granular sliders: skin, eyes, teeth, catchlights, contour, lips, skin tone | Deeper micro-tools (see below) behind desktop UI |
| Batch | API-scale, 120 jobs/min per account | Desktop batch with preset sync |
| Rescue | Photo Rescue with auto-triage + fidelity dial, $0.12 | Not their focus |
The math
A 500-photo wedding: Evoto's export credits run ≈$25–50 plus the subscription commitment. Ours: $25 at the correction price — previews free, no subscription, and the API can run it unattended.
Where Evoto is genuinely strong
- Per-face-category targeting (female/male/child/elderly) and very deep micro-tools — makeup, hair, body reshaping — that we have not built yet.
- A refined desktop editing experience with tethered shooting for studio workflows.
- 800+ built-in presets out of the box.
