Where each one falls short

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

Hedra

  • Free tier limited to watermarked outputs
  • Monthly credits reset each billing cycle and do not carry over
  • Enterprise tier requires custom quote and negotiation
  • Documentation and tutorials limited on main site
  • Pricing starts at $15/month for basic commercial use

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

Hedra: What is the difference between monthly subscription credits and purchased credit packs?

Monthly subscription credits reset each billing cycle, while purchased credit packs do not expire between billing cycles and carry over.

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
Hedra: Can I use Hedra content commercially on free and paid plans?

Commercial use is permitted on Basic, Creator, and Professional plans. The free tier produces watermarked outputs.

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
Hedra: What support is included with different Hedra plans?

Basic, Creator, and Professional plans have standard support. Enterprise plans include dedicated technical support via Slack and a dedicated account manager.

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.
