The check marks the side that is ahead, on rows where that is a fact. A row without one is a difference of kind, and which is better depends on what you need.
Here one swapz is $0.01, packs start at $10 in crypto, and nothing renews.
Our 25 swapz are given once, when a new account verifies its email. That covers 5 photos at full resolution.

Where Pica AI is the better choice.
A few swaps every day for nothing. Pica AI's free tier renews with 4 credits each day, and ours is given once. If you swap a little most days and never want to pay, use Pica AI.
Where faceswap.ing is the better choice.
Keeping what you bought. Pica AI's own pricing page says subscription credits are valid until the end of the period and do not carry over. Swapz are the other way round: a pack from $10 sits in your balance until you spend it, nothing renews, and a failed generation is refunded. Results come back at the size they went in with no watermark, video runs to 5 minutes a file at 1440p, one swap takes 200 files, and checkout is a crypto invoice with no card on file.

Questions about switching from Pica AI.
- Do swapz expire like Pica AI credits?
- No. A pack you buy, from $10, stays in your balance until you spend it. Pica AI's pricing page says its subscription credits are valid until the end of the current period and do not carry over.
- Is there a daily free allowance?
- Not daily. A new account gets 25 swapz once its email is verified, enough for 5 photos at full resolution with no watermark. Pica AI gives 4 credits every day instead.
- Can I pay without a card?
- Yes. Checkout here is a crypto invoice, and no card is stored. Pica AI's terms list Stripe, PayPal and DukPay for web payments.
