Both cover photo editing. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Product photos without the studio
Flair.ai trains a model on a product and then places it in scenes, which is the job a photographer, a set and a day of shooting used to do. A free tier exists to see whether the likeness holds up on your own product before anything is paid. Custom models, upscaling and variations are what the paid tiers buy more of. The commercial licence sits on the third tier, so anybody selling with the output should read that line before picking a plan.
Our note
Check the licence line rather than the image count when picking between Pro and Pro+, since the commercial rights arrive at $26 and using cheaper output to sell with is the mistake this pricing invites. Train on the free tier first: if the likeness is wrong there, no paid tier fixes it.
Only on this side
Your own editing style applied by the photo
Imagen trains a personal profile on a few thousand of a photographer's own edited images and then applies it to new shoots, priced per photo rather than per month. Culling, cropping and retouching are add-ons on the same meter. Paying by the photo suits an uneven year better than a subscription does, and the first thousand edits cost nothing.

Our note
Against Aftershoot the split is billing rather than quality: this charges per photo and that charges per year. Work out your annual volume and the answer falls out, and remember the beta-priced extras here are not permanent.
