Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal 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.
Starz
- Standard monthly rate after 3-month promotion not disclosed on landing page; requires signup to see renewal pricing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
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.
SourceStarz: What is the current STARZ subscription cost?
STARZ offers a limited-time promotional rate of $4 per month for the first three months. The standard monthly rate after this period is not displayed on the website and appears during signup.
SourceLiveFaceSwap 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.
SourceStarz: How many devices can stream simultaneously on STARZ?
STARZ subscriptions allow streaming on up to 4 devices at the same time, with unlimited HD streaming and downloads included.
SourceLiveFaceSwap 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.
SourceLiveFaceSwap 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.
SourceLiveFaceSwap 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.
