Bottom line
If I were the PM for Morphin, I would immediately address the lack of social proof and the high price barrier. While the 'no-subscription' model is a strong differentiator, the current $24.99 price point is difficult to justify without a visible feature advantage over cheaper contenders like Faceover Pro or the high-tech AI capabilities of Reface.
