DeepSwap vs Magic Hour (2026): which should you pick?

Pick DeepSwap if

• Fits if you want to swap faces in a short video clip
• Works for people who prefer a one-year pass with no auto-renewal

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try it free, as no free plan or trial is listed
• Tight if you work with long footage, as 20 credits covers about 5 minutes of video
• Watch out: every action spends credits, so extras cost on top
• Watch out: swapping real people raises consent and legal questions you have to manage
• Not for you if you use an iPhone, as there is no iOS app listed

Pick Magic Hour if

• Fits if you want face swap, lip sync and video tools in one place
• Works for developers who want an API on the same credits

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need clean free exports, because free video and audio may be watermarked
• Tight if you need high resolution, as Creator caps at 1024px and 4K is Business only
• Watch out: annual plans charge the full year upfront
• Watch out: refunds apply only within 7 days and below 400 credits used, once per customer
• Watch out: Pro and Business were shown to us in ringgit, so check the dollar total at checkout

DeepSwap

• Pro access is a time pass with a small credit allowance (20 credits), and every action spends credits.
• Video face swap costs 1 credit per 15 seconds, so the monthly allowance covers about 5 minutes of footage.
• The pricing page states no free plan or trial, so none is listed.
• Face swapping of real people raises consent and legal questions that the user has to manage.

Magic Hour

• Annual plans charge the full year upfront and add the whole year's credits at once; monthly billing adds 12,000, 25,000 or 70,000 credits a month.
• The pricing page showed Malaysian ringgit to us, so Pro and Business are given in MYR; Creator's $12 comes from the vendor's page description and help center.
• Export resolution depends on plan: 1024px on Creator, 1472px on Pro, and 4K only on Business.
• Refunds apply within 7 days and only if fewer than 400 credits were used, limited to one approved refund per customer.
