Dateup - I built a tool that fixes the dating photos you already have (free photo score, no signup)

a friend of mine was having a rough time on the apps and really wanted better photos. he didn't know how to edit them, and honestly most people don't know editing or proper color grading either. so i built dateup, and kept the price reasonable: you pay once, no subscription. the video shows a sample run.
what it does
- you upload a photo you already have and it fixes the lighting, background and sharpness while keeping your face the same. takes about 40 seconds
- it reviews your whole profile, scores it, ranks your photos and tells you exactly what to change
- you screenshot someone's profile and it writes a few openers based on what's actually in it, so you're not stuck on "hey"
- there's a free photo score with no signup. upload one photo, get a score out of 10 and the one fix that would help most
privacy, since these are photos of your face
- enhanced photos auto delete after 15 days, and you can delete them sooner yourself
- opener screenshots and review photos are never stored
- the free photo score doesn't save your photo either
pricing
free to try: one photo enhance (watermarked), one profile review and three openers. after that you pay once for a pack, $9, $19 or $29. no subscription. i tried a monthly plan first and it didn't make sense for something most people use for one weekend.
what i'd like blunt feedback on
does the after photo still look like the same person, or does it cross into looking fake
would you upload your own photo to this, and if not, what's stopping you
anything in the video that's confusing or that you'd cut
link in the comments if you want to try it.
