Lensa plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Lensa Pro | $35.99/year | 3 | +$35.99/year, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Free

Lensa Pro
$35.99/yearOver Free, this tier adds:
- Access to enhancement and retouching tools

What the product covers
The full Lensa feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Magic Avatars
- Photo retouching
- Sky and background replacement
- Portrait enhancement
- Multiple avatar style packs
- Selfie upload and processing
People bring Lensa in for someone wanting to generate stylised ai avatars from their own selfies, understanding those selfies are uploaded for ai processing, a user comfortable with the documented training-data provenance concerns around the underlying stable diffusion model choosing to proceed anyway, someone wanting general photo retouching tools separate from the avatar feature, a user comfortable cancelling a free trial through phone app store settings before it converts to a paid charge. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Lensa are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Photography
Too few photography tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Lensa badges page.
Before you pay for Lensa
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and $35.99/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Lensa runs on ios, android, and is published by Prisma Labs, Inc. of Los Angeles, California, United States. The full record is on the Lensa review, and the rest of the category is under best photography tools.
