My improvements I hope to see:
1) Ability to "Photo Face Swap" and "Photo Head Swap" with multiple source photos. I suggested to the team to maybe use what one of their competitors uses. A small window that shows more than one face to swap. So, the person can know which face they want to swap. ALSO, if the faces are very close together or even touching, then the small window can "blur out one of each of the faces, so the user can either can use all he faces to swap or just one. Blurring out the faces that we elect not to use, will prevent the AI from "bleeding or running over a face" where sometimes you get your target face overlapping two faces instead of the one target face.
2) A couple generator. This is one I know can be used in the "image to image" section, but that portion, to me, is when you want more of a detailed product. I have seen some sites about to do this for free for the first 5 tries or such. Microsolt Copilot does a very good job with this, but it's limited in how many results it can produce, nor will it use NSFW results.
3) I have to relook into it, but a one yearly fee and then the user gets their "X" amount of credits each month. One of the top sites I think pays close to $100 USD a year and gets 20 credits per month. Sometimes that same company will give a "Two weeks unlimited Photo Face Swap" or other section for free for being a loyal member.
4) Maybe an easier to pay if you are in the USA. I find going through 3rd party sites that I never done business with, to be worrisome and troublesome. Used one of those sites before and it took me to contact the site I was doing business with, to contact that 3rd party site and get the funds. Even worse because that third party site didn't send/email a receipt.
4) For channel members and even if paying month to month, a section that holds some of your most used faces for your works. Of the two sites I have used, I believe they can hold up to around 30 to more faces that a user may consistently use. This way that use does not have to constantly upload a source face on top of target face photo. Just have to upload the target face photo and away we go.
5) A reference photo section? Photos I have that I would like my model to duplicate but don't know the exact prompts and if I did, it's usually hit or miss and goes through credits quickly. So, a reference photo section where a user can upload a photo, the faces they want to use and the AI can produce a more natural and realistic image. This would be similar to the "Photo Head Swap" but taken up a notch or two.
A free watermarked export option would be great for folks who want to test outputs across all tools before signing up, since right now it seems like you need an account to really see what the advanced features can do end to end.
@dilek396065 Thanks Dilek - fair point about the leap of faith, so let me clarify what the gate actually is: every advanced tool already has a free tier. Registering a free account (no card, no trial countdown) gets you daily generations - 4 image gens, 2 image-to-image, 2 image-to-video, 2 head swaps - and those are full-quality, non-watermarked results, every day.
We thought about watermarked previews, but a watermarked generation costs us the same GPU time as a real one - so we'd rather spend that compute giving you the actual result. The account requirement isn't a paywall; it's mostly there so the daily limits work and our abuse prevention has something to attach to.
If the sign-up step itself is the friction, that's worth knowing - was it the principle of registering, or did something in the flow put you off?
@Facy - Best of luck with the launch. I'm curious what are the video durations for the free tier. Also any plans in the future to offer pay-as-you-go plans? I'm personally tired of yet another subscription, and for people who don't need to use it all month or need 20 movies a month, the subscription is overkill. You may be leaving money on the table.
@codeandsea Thanks Brent, great questions. On durations: free image-to-video generates 2-3 seconds clips depending on the model, and video face swap handles videos up to 30 seconds.
On pay-as-you-go - good news: that's essentially where Facy already is, and where we're heading fully. We've been moving away from time-blocked plans; almost all features now run on credits that never expire. Even the 20-credit plan isn't strictly locked to one month - unused credits stay usable. Buy when you need, use whenever, no "20 movies a month or you're wasting money" pressure.
That said, if you had to ask, we haven't communicated this well - so thank you for the nudge. We'll be updating our pricing page to make it clearer.
@facyai - Thanks for the clarification, and I will probably be using this (probably next month) now I know it is pay-as-you-go pricing. I think making this a key feature of your product will help you get more users, especially if they are like me and are getting tired of more and more subscriptions. Again best of luck.
@codeandsea That's great to hear Brent - genuinely made my day. And you've convinced me: "no subscription required" is going front and centre in how we talk about Facy, not buried in the pricing page. Thanks for taking the time today, and see you next month 👋
@facyai - Perfect, and thanks. Oh, yes I forgot to mention it's great to see you use Laravel. I'm a huge fan of @Livewire
the face swap and head swap tools are the part that gives me pause - the responsible use line in the pitch is doing a lot of work there. what actually stops someone from uploading a public figure's photo and swapping it into something they never consented to, beyond a terms of service line nobody reads? is there any automated check on the source/target images, or is enforcement purely reactive after a report
I have been using Facy for months. All the tools are good and, more to the point, they continually develop. Face swop could still improve for accuracy, particularly for profiles, but Facy is at least as good as others. It's the only one I subscribe to. It'd be nice if the paid plans were not time-based. Nice that credits roll over but would be good to be able to use them over a longer timescale.
@facyai deliver quality and dont rest on their laurels with regular enhancements and innovations. Tried and tested them over many months and produced good stuff for me . Another plus is they provideca safe reliable subscription/ credit top up method , which is important to me .
@paul_c6 Paul, you've basically been here for the whole plot - face swap tool quietly turns into a full studio, episode by episode. Thank you for sticking around through it. The trust point especially
Fav ai / face swap app and best bang for your buck.
