Why LiveSwap.ai names its models
Many live face swap services describe an "AI engine" without saying which model runs your camera. LiveSwap.ai runs commercial-grade models from specialist AI companies, which outperform open-source local face swap, and shows the model, X-Max 2.1 or Lucy 2.6, and its rate before you start, so you know what processes your video, what each second costs, and can read the provider policies linked in our privacy policy.
Which should you choose?
- Pick LiveSwap.ai if you want commercial-grade model quality, more X-Max minutes per dollar, try-on and restyle as well as face swap, or a named model you can choose per session.
- Pick liveswap.io if you want minute-based plans with a published resolution per plan and are fine with face swap only.
Either way, try before paying: new LiveSwap.ai accounts get 30 free credits. Open the studio.
