One such Ukrainian startup is Looksery, Inc. Founded in 2013, Looksery is a San Francisco Bay Area company that began as a small Ukrainian team with a unique vision — create the world’s most unique face tracking and modification engine. Lead by CEO Victor Shaburov, Looksery developed its unique software into an app that went viral almost overnight. Like other many apps, Looksery modifies images, but it doesn’t stop there. The unique face-tracking engine behind Looksery also allows the user to alter their physique, and to do it in real-time video.

To get their vision off the ground, Shaburov and his comrades turned to crowdfunding for the capital they needed. Their Kickstarter campaign sucked in contributions at near record pace, securing $46,152 from 164 backers, reaching 10% of their goal in the first 24 hours. For those who came aboard, it was money well spent. In 2014, a mere one year after starting, Looksery received the Best Innovative Startup Award during the Silicon Valley Open Doors conference.

But the story doesn’t end there. In September 2015, SnapChat acquired Looksery, reportedly for $150 million — good news for Looksery Inc., not so good for those who learned of the app only after it was no longer available. SnapChat, is seems, will integrate the Looksery engine directly into its messaging app.

All this begs the question: Sure, Looksery is unique in how it allows real-time facial modification during a live video stream, but are there any good alternatives for those who didn’t get the app but want more control over their selfies? Actually, there are.

We scoured the app landscape and found five alternatives to the popular but unavailable Looksery app. Of these, only the first is able to go nose-to-nose with the Looksery app, but the rest are still worth a look.
