Fashion show and photoshoot production, simplified! First Face™ is a production workflow app built specifically for producers of fashion shows and photoshoots. It brings castings, fittings, look order, documents, and live show tools into one connected platform, so everything stays aligned as productions evolve. Instead of juggling multiple tools, documents, and versions, First Face keeps all production information in one place, reducing admin and helping teams stay in sync from pre-production through to show day. No spreadsheets. No scattered documents. No rebuilding information between stages. Just one system designed around how fashion productions actually work. KEY FEATURES: CASTING & MODEL MANAGEMENT Upload model comp cards and let First Face’s AI automatically scan and detect model information, including headshots and measurements, converting them into ready-to-use model profiles added directly to your show. Categorise models using clear status buttons, add notes, and track selections with confidence. Once casting is complete, selected models move seamlessly into fittings - no duplication required. FITTINGS Capture photos of models in their looks directly within the app, upload reference images, and add fitting notes that stay attached to the same model profile. Everything is instantly accessible to the team, and once a look is confirmed, the model is automatically added to the look order. LOOK ORDER Arrange models into the correct sequence using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. For runway shows, First Face automatically detects potential quick-change issues, flagging models who may not have enough time between looks, so adjustments can be made before show day. SHOW MODE Run the live show with confidence. Show Mode calculates total runtime, counts down model exits in real time, and supports precise timing throughout the show. Add custom cues for lighting, audio, or vision changes, and use the built-in music timer to manage continuous tracks without guesswork. PRODUCTION DASHBOARD Manage the entire production from one central hub. Invite your team, access schedules, guest seating, PR contacts, venue details, documents, and key notes — all in one place. Quickly search contacts, check location and weather, track models in hair and makeup and keep every moving part aligned as the show approaches. TASKS Assign tasks, set due dates and priorities, and track progress across the production. Attach documents or reference images directly to tasks so nothing gets lost and everyone knows exactly what needs to be done. GUEST MANAGEMENT Create seating plans, upload guest lists, and assign seats with ease. Use colour-coded categories to distinguish VIPs, media, and influencers. Update arrangements instantly and download final guest lists ready for invitations or email platforms. AUTO-GENERATED DOCUMENTS Generate production-ready documents directly from live show data — including rack cards, fitting schedules, look orders, and hair & makeup checklists. Change information once and all documents stay up to date.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FlashRead at none against First Face's shown. FlashRead also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
