  • They diverge on capability: Apple TV+ covers Apple Originals, LiveFaceSwap AI covers Virtual camera output.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 24 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Apple TV+

  • Bundle offering states no free trial, discounted offers, or annual plans available at launch
  • Only 3 months free with Apple TV 4K hardware purchase, not a standalone free option

LiveFaceSwap AI

  • No free tier, only 90 seconds on signup. At 0.6 credits a second that is barely more than a look, and every plan is a subscription or a pack after it.
  • The cost depends on which model runs, and the difference is large: the Lucy models burn three to six times the credits of XMAX 2.0, so a plan's advertised minutes assume the cheapest one.
  • Processing is cloud-side, so a live camera feed leaves your machine for a third party. For a meeting under any confidentiality obligation that is a decision to make deliberately.
  • The desktop app, which is the only way to get virtual camera output, requires Windows 11 or macOS 13 on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs and Windows 10 are excluded.
  • No operator is disclosed beyond the trading name, which is worth knowing before sending a live feed of your own face to their servers.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Apple TV+: How much does Apple TV Plus cost?

Apple TV Plus costs $12.99 per month after a 7-day free trial. The bundle with Peacock starts at $14.99 per month for combined access, saving over 30% compared to individual subscriptions.

Source
LiveFaceSwap AI: Does it work with OBS and Zoom?

Yes, through the desktop app, which exposes the processed feed as a virtual camera. Anything that reads a webcam, including OBS, streaming software and meeting clients, picks it up without integration work. The browser preview does not provide virtual camera output.

Source
Apple TV+: Does Apple TV Plus offer a free trial?

Yes, Apple TV Plus includes a 7-day free trial before the $12.99 monthly subscription begins. The trial does not require a credit card. The bundle with Peacock offers no free trial or discounted introductory offers.

Source
LiveFaceSwap AI: What does LiveFaceSwap AI cost?

Subscriptions are $12 a month for 650 credits, $23 for 2,500 and $55 for 7,500, with 20 percent off quarterly. One-off packs are $59 for 4,000 credits and $119 for 10,000, and those never expire. New accounts get up to 90 seconds free.

Source
Apple TV+: Can I share my Apple TV Plus subscription with family members?

Yes, Apple TV Plus lets you share your subscription with up to five family members for free through Apple's family sharing feature, allowing multiple household members to watch on different devices simultaneously.

Source
LiveFaceSwap AI: How fast are the credits used?

By the second, and it depends on the model: XMAX 2.0 costs 0.6 credits a second while the Lucy models cost 1.8 to 3.6. The minute figures quoted on each plan assume XMAX 2.0, so running Lucy shortens them by three to six times.

Source
LiveFaceSwap AI: Do I need a GPU?

No. Processing happens in the cloud, so there is no local GPU requirement and no model download. The consequence is that your camera feed is sent to their servers.

Source
LiveFaceSwap AI: What are the system requirements?

The desktop app needs Windows 11, or macOS 13 and later on Apple Silicon. The browser preview runs anywhere but cannot output a virtual camera.
