Lensa Alternatives: AI Portraits and Avatars From Your Selfies, Priced Per Image

Lensa's Magic Avatars was the app that made AI portraits mainstream: upload a batch of selfies, wait, get a pack of stylised pictures of yourself. People search for a Lensa alternative for three reasons. They want one great portrait rather than fifty variations. They want to pick the style first instead of being handed a pack. Or they want to do it from a desktop as well as a phone. Here is what does the job on Reelina, with prices from the live index as of October 2026.

Dollars at about one cent a coin on the entry plan; a one-off pack works the same way.

The difference in how it works

One selfie, one style, one image. Lensa asks for a batch of selfies and returns a batch of avatars. Each tool above takes one photo, applies one style and returns one image, with the price shown before you press the button. If you want ten, you run it ten times and choose; you are not paying for forty you will never use.

Save yourself once. Reelina's Characters feature stores a source photo under a name, so the same face can be sent to the headshot tool today and the anime filter tomorrow without uploading again.

Desktop and phone. It is a web app: the same tools in a desktop browser for the real work and a phone browser when you just need one picture.

Models you can see. The portraits run on image models from the catalogue (Seedream 5 from 6 coins, Nano Banana Pro from 42, FLUX from 1), and the price index lists every one of them. Nothing is a black box with a pack price.

What a pack costs here

A "pack" of twenty portraits in two styles is about 480 coins, under five dollars at the entry rate, and because each image is a separate run you can stop at the third if the third is the one. The reverse is also true: if you want a hundred variations, that is 2,400 coins, and a subscription (from $9.99 for 1,000 coins) becomes the cheaper way to buy them.

What you give up

Lensa's one-tap pack is simpler than choosing a style and a tool. If you want a surprise, a pack gives you one. If you want a specific result, a headshot for LinkedIn, an anime version for a profile, a per-image tool gives you that result and nothing you did not ask for. The Lensa alternative page shows examples from each tool so the style, not the description, decides.

FAQ

Is there a free Lensa alternative on Reelina? No. Each image shows its coin cost before it runs. The smallest way in is a one-off coin pack rather than a subscription.

How many selfies do I need? One. The tools generate from a single photo; a clear, front-facing one works best.

Can I get the Magic Avatars look? The portrait, anime and cartoon tools cover the same styles. Results differ by model, which is why each tool page shows examples first.

Will it look like me? The selfie, headshot and portrait tools are built to keep the face; the anime and caricature tools stylise it on purpose. Pick by how much of you should survive the style.

Does it work on a phone? Yes, in the browser, with nothing to install.
