Should I use FutureSelf or DreamSelf?
Both take a selfie and generate photorealistic images of you achieving your goals. DreamSelf is an iOS-only subscription with three free visions and daily-habit features. FutureSelf is $4.90 one-time, works in any browser, and delivers eight scenes plus 4K wallpapers as a finished artefact.

A daily app, or a finished board
If you want your vision board to become a daily habit on your phone - widget, streaks, journaling, a feed - DreamSelf does more than we do, and its free tier is more generous at three visions to our one. If you want a finished set of images you own, at a published one-time price, on any device, that is us.
Why DreamSelf isn't enough
iOS only
If you are on Android or want to do this on a laptop, DreamSelf is not available to you. We run in any browser.
The price is not on their website
DreamSelf's site publishes no pricing at all. The subscription tiers are visible only on the App Store listing, which is a poor way to find out what something costs.
Where DreamSelf is genuinely better
Scope and stickiness. It is a native iOS app with a home screen widget, a chat-with-your-future-self feature, AI-generated action plans, streaks, journaling and a community feed. We are a web page that makes images and then gets out of the way. Its free tier is also more generous than ours: three visions against our one.
FutureSelf is built on the science of belief, not just aesthetics.
Where we are better
Price certainty and reach. Ours is $4.90 once, published, with nothing to renew. DreamSelf is $1.99 weekly, $4.99 monthly or $29.99 yearly with a $79.99 lifetime unlock - and none of those numbers appear on their website. We also work in any browser, so Android and desktop users are not excluded.

One thing to note in fairness
DreamSelf's homepage cites a statistic that 93 percent of New Year's resolutions fail without a source, and at the time of checking its download section had no working App Store link. Neither is disqualifying; both are worth knowing before you evaluate it.
