# Decart review (2026): is it worth it? > Real-time AI video editing and world models through an API Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Decart is an AI lab that builds real-time video models, including Lucy for live video editing and Oasis for interactive world generation, plus software to speed up model inference. Its API platform bills per second or per generation with no subscription. New accounts get free credits to test it. - **Category:** AI Image & Video Generators - **Made by:** Decart (since 2023) - **Website:** https://decart.ai - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Not for you if you want a video app, as using it takes code. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Decart's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Real-time video editing:** Lucy edits a live video stream with text prompts or reference images, at 30 FPS for Lucy 2.5. - **Virtual try-on:** Lucy VTON models handle realtime virtual try-on. - **Oasis world model:** Oasis generates interactive worlds that respond to actions in real time. - **Video and image editing:** Non-realtime endpoints cover video editing, video restyling and image editing. - **SDKs:** SDKs are available for JavaScript, Python, Swift and Android. ## Good for - Developers building live video effects into apps and streams - Teams working on virtual try-on or live commerce ## Worth knowing - Billing is pay as you go with no subscription: realtime Lucy 2.6 is $0.02 a second, or $0.04 in fast mode. - Video editing with Lucy 2.6 at 720p is $0.04 per generated second; Lucy Image 2 is $0.01 to $0.02 per image. - It is an API and research product, not a ready-made video app, so using it takes code. - Oasis 3 is a preview, with enterprise pricing offered by contacting the company. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Decart is an AI lab with real-time video models like Lucy for live editing and Oasis for interactive worlds, sold through an API with no subscription. Realtime editing is $0.02 a second, or $0.04 in fast mode, and new accounts get free credits to try. It's a product for developers, not a finished video app. - **Value for money: C.** Pay as you go with no plan and no minimum: $0.02 a second for realtime Lucy 2.6, $0.04 for video editing. There's no monthly figure to set against the category, so it sits in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: C.** New accounts get free credits to test the API. The amount isn't stated, and the page doesn't say whether a card is needed. - **Features: C.** Realtime video editing, virtual try-on, video and image editing and the Oasis world model, which is still a preview. Each is an API model, not a ready-made tool. - **Ease of use: D.** No rating on record, and using it means writing code against an SDK. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web docs, SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Swift and Android, plus Vercel AI SDK, LangChain.js and TanStack AI hooks. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Decart's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among AI image and video generators - Decart's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 31 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade, and level with 31. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 75 of 168) and worst on ease of use (D, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-images ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Decart you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 106 of the 168 other AI image and video generators grade higher. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain.js and TanStack AI among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Vercel AI SDK, LangChain.js, TanStack AI **Tags:** Video generation, AI features, Public API, Image generation ## Alternatives - [Runway](https://toolgpa.com/tools/runway): AI video, image and audio studio with its own Gen-4.5 model.
