Dreamwave needs less from you at the start than any other service here: its LinkedIn headshot page asks for one clear photo, and any smartphone selfie works. The gallery takes about two hours, and afterwards you can swap outfits with a short text prompt, upload a new background or clean up details with a magic eraser, with a pro retouching team for small tweaks. Dreamwave states it does not sell or train its AI on your data, and you can delete your photo at any time. The company side is the most developed on this list. Dreamwave lists company headshots at $49 to $59 per person with 150 photos per person and a 1 to 2 hour turnaround, and it can sync photos from Workday, ADP, Rippling or BambooHR into Slack, Outlook, Okta and ID badges. We could not find a published individual price on the pages we checked, so its value score is conservative until the price is visible.
