Chad PSL AI vs Areum
Short answer
Areum uses a guided 3D face scan on the iPhone and a model trained on people’s pairwise choices, and reports an overall rating as a percentile and standard-deviation score with breakdowns by demographic group; it says the 3D scan stays on the device. Chad PSL AI works from two ordinary photos on iPhone and Android, never turns your score into a percentile of people, explains every category, and grades every plan step by evidence. Pick Areum for a 3D scan on an iPhone; pick us for Android too, no percentile ranking, and a sourced plan.
| Areum | Chad PSL AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | iPhone app built around a 3D scan | Native app for iPhone and Android |
| Capture | A guided 3D face scan | Two: a front photo and a side photo |
| Model | Trained on many people’s choices between pairs of faces | A 478-point mesh measured against typical ranges, plus a fixed written rubric; a deterministic engine scores it |
| How results read | A percentile and standard-deviation score, with demographic breakdowns | No percentiles or "top X%" about people: the scale is calibrated on a modelled set of faces |
| Privacy | Says the 3D scan stays on the device | Photos and face geometry are never stored on our servers: held in memory for one request. Only scores and rounded measurements are kept. Writing found in a photo is blurred before the AI sees it. |
| Plan | See their app | Evidence-graded plan: every step has its grade, cost, a "when you could tell" line, who should skip it, and sources |
| Price model | Subscription in the App Store; see their listing | Free preview first, then pay per scan or subscribe, through the App Store or Google Play |

Questions people ask
Does Chad PSL AI give percentiles?
No. Our scale is calibrated on a modelled set of faces, not a sample of people, so it says where a number sits on the scale, never "top X%".
