- First 8 photos free
- No credit card
- Selfies never used to train AI
- Delete them any time
PhotoAI trains a model on your photos, then you write prompts or pick from its packs. Luala works from the selfies already on your phone, with no training step.
Each Luala shoot fixes the outfit, the place and the light, so a set reads as one afternoon instead of a dozen separate pictures.
When Luala is the better pick
- You don't want to wait for training There is no model to train: each photo takes about 20 seconds, and a shoot's photos come back together. PhotoAI trains first: 30 minutes to 2 hours on its lower plans.
- You want to see yourself before you pay Your first photos are free, one each from popular shoots, before you buy anything.
- You want a shoot, not a prompt Every shoot has its outfit, place and light worked out. Pick one and the whole set comes back.
- You'd rather not subscribe Credit packs don't renew. You pay when you want a shoot.

Questions
Is Luala made by PhotoAI?
No. Luala is made by Die Digitalen GmbH in Zürich and has no connection to PhotoAI. PhotoAI is a trademark of its owner.
Do I need to train a model?
No. Add your selfies once and every shoot uses them. There is nothing to train.
Which one costs less per photo?
It depends on the plan and, at PhotoAI, on the model. The table lists both at each price, as each company publishes them.
What do I need to start?
Between 1 and 15 selfies from your phone. Different angles and light give Luala more to work from.
What happens to my selfies?
They stay in your account until you delete them, one at a time or with your whole account. If you don't sign in for 24 months and have no plan running, we delete your account and your selfies with it, and email you 30 days before. We use them to make your photos and to check them for abuse, and never to train AI models. Privacy policy
What does a shoot cost?
A shoot of 5 photos is 25 credits, 5 a photo. Starter is $19 a month for 250 credits, enough for 10 shoots like that. Luala shows the cost before every shoot.
What are the 8 free photos?
When you save your selfies, Luala makes one photo of you from each of 8 popular packs, once per account. You see them before you pay for anything.
Are the photos marked as AI?
Yes. Every photo carries a mark in its file that says it was made with AI.
What if I change my mind?
Within 14 days of a purchase, you get back what you paid for the credits from it you haven't used. One tap in Billing, and nobody asks why. Refund guarantee
