Shastra vs FaceIQ Labs vs QOVES: facial analysis compared
Shastra is currently 100% free, with unlimited facial analyses. It pairs facial measurements with a myofunctional reading of the face. FaceIQ Labs and QOVES sell facial analysis. The gap is what each product records, and what you pay to keep using it.
Coverage figures come from our published clinic evaluation, checked on 21 September 2026. Shastra with oral posture checks covers 94% of the Healthmaxxing assessment. FaceIQ Labs covers 28%. These are coverage figures, not accuracy scores.
Three products are compared on photo input, facial analysis, myofunctional records, and access. QOVES is in the product table. It has no numerical result in this coverage evaluation.

QOVES is not in the numerical coverage evaluation. The numbers on this portrait illustrate the published pattern. All real figures are below.
Coverage is not accuracy. It is how much of the assessment a product can actually record.
Coverage evaluation
Shastra covers more of the assessment. FaceIQ covers less.
There is a clear difference in coverage. With oral posture checks included, Shastra records 94% of the Healthmaxxing assessment. FaceIQ Labs records 28%. QOVES has no number in this evaluation.
Oral posture
Facial products stay on geometry. Shastra also records oral posture.
The clinic workflow covers 8 oral posture areas. A photograph can show some of this. Tongue position, swallowing, and breathing still need their own checks.
Shastra lets you examine facial proportions and read them through a myofunctional lens. The analysis includes visible resting cues around the lips, jaw and face alongside facial geometry. That gives you a way to look at how the face is held as well as its proportions.
The wider Healthmaxxing assessment adds 52 oral posture checks across 8 areas: breathing, tongue posture, lip closure, jaw and bite, swallowing, head and neck posture, sleep, and oral habits. These are recorded through the clinic assessment; they are not all inferred from a photograph.
For someone interested in oral posture, this is the reason to try Shastra. You can begin with the facial analysis, inspect the myofunctional results, and explore the individual checks in more detail.
Shastra vs FaceIQ Labs
FaceIQ Labs organises its analysis into four pillars: harmony, angularity, dimorphism and features. It documents 70 facial measurements and lets users review and move landmarks. Its free tier includes a profile score, ten ratios and a small selection of strengths and flaws. FaceIQ product guide and scoring guide.
The practical difference is access and focus. FaceIQ places full analysis and unlimited use in its paid plans. Shastra currently offers unlimited facial analysis for free and includes a dedicated myofunctional view. If that is what you want to explore, you can start without buying an analysis plan.
For Umax and LooksMax AI too, see the Facial Analysis Bench, which scores every plan on the same capabilities against its yearly cost.
Shastra vs QOVES
QOVES advertises an assessment from six photos, more than 160 facial markers, and a personal improvement protocol. Its membership includes one analysis per year, visualisations and access to its team through the dashboard. QOVES product and membership information.
Shastra is built for opening the tool and running your own facial analysis. Its current free, unlimited access makes it easy to repeat a scan with a better photo or return later. The myofunctional analysis is part of what you can explore, while Healthmaxxing's clinic workflow extends that into structured oral posture records.
The 52 checks across 8 areas live in the clinic assessment. They are not all inferred from a photograph.
FaceIQ documents 70 measurements. QOVES advertises more than 160 facial markers. Neither publishes a myofunctional coverage figure.
