Hedra started as a tool for expressive talking-head and character videos driven by audio (its Character models) and now also runs a multimodal inference platform. Hedra Studio offers credit-based monthly plans for video, image and audio generation. The usage-based API covers video generation, avatars and lip-sync, upscaling, speech and LLMs. It suits creators making dialogue-driven character clips and developers who need avatar or lip-sync generation through an API.
- Every Studio plan from Basic ($20/mo, 2,000 credits) includes commercial use
- Video credits are charged by the actual generated length (e.g. 10 seconds, not a full minute)
- Prepaid API from about 2.5 cents per second for avatar/lip-sync, with no subscription or minimum
- No free Studio plan is listed; after cancelling, only limited watermarked generations remain
- Basic plan has slower generation speeds
- Monthly subscription credits do not roll over (credit-pack credits do)
Viggle AI drops a character from a photo into an existing video, copying the motion, and is widely used for memes and dance clips. It supports multi-character swaps and real-time live swapping. A companion product, PINOC, creates rigged 3D characters with FBX/GLB motion export. It suits meme makers, social creators and animators who want quick motion-driven character videos, and a pay-as-you-go API is available.
- Free plan allows 5 videos per day
- Paid plans remove the watermark and allow motion video uploads up to 10 minutes
- API priced at $0.01 per credit, with 100 free credits for new accounts
- Free plan: watermark, 1-minute upload limit, one generation at a time and 7-day storage
- Seedance model requires the Live plan ($19.99/mo) or higher
- Terms clearly grant commercial rights only for API and paid PINOC outputs; for the main app it is not spelled out
