Lyvia Pricing Explained
Every user has different needs and budget. I had to think of a way of how users can get what they want, make sure every penny they've paid is worth it—while also covering the servers' operational costs.
Lyvia offers 2 types of pricing: one time credits purchase, and a Pro subscription. Both of them can be used for image generation, but which one you need to buy depends on your use case.
Lyvia Credits
Credits are primary means to generate images and make video faceswaps. They never expire, so it's good if you're a casual user that don't generate image very often. There are a few users that just bought 2,500 credits last year, generate images every now and then, and still have some left today. 2,500 credits can generate 2,500 images, that's more than enough.
Credits also needed for video faceswapping, so if you often use Video Faceswap or only use Video Faceswap and only a few image generation, it is better to purchase Lyvia credits.
Lyvia Pro Subscription
Most AI image apps only let you subscribe to get credits every month, not unlimited.
But Lyvia Pro offers you unlimited image generations. This is very useful if you use Lyvia almost everyday, for work purposes, entertainment, hobby, and many more because you don't have to worry about running out of credits. However, Lyvia Pro only covers image generations, not video faceswap.
Pricing
Here's the current price, as per January 2025:
| Item | Price | Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| 250 credits | $3.99 | One-time, never expire |
| 500 credits | $5.99 | One-time, never expire |
| 1000 credits | $10.99 | One-time, never expire |
| 2500 credits (best value) | $21.99 | One-time, never expire |
| Lyvia Pro Monthly | $14.99 | Monthly |
| Lyvia Pro Yearly | $129 | Yearly |
Prices may increase if the cloud and GPU provider prices increase. Lyvia Pro monthly was $9.99 per month at launch time, so if you're an early user, you can still enjoy Lyvia Pro subscription with old price. And thank you for your support!
Credit Costs
Compared to other platforms, Lyvia's pricing is simpler: 1 credit per image, or $14.99/month that grants unlimted image generation.
50 credits for video faceswap, Pro or without Pro.

Why can't I get unlimited video faceswap?
A video is made of a lot of pictures. Video faceswapping is changing someone's face in every single picture, or frame, that makes up the video.
This takes a lot of work for the servers:
- Lots of computing power: Swapping face in each video frame.
- Big files: The video files you're uploading can be very large, and the faceswapped videos are even bigger, increasing storage and bandwidth costs.
If Video Faceswap is unlimited, it will:
- Very long queue: Everyone would have to wait a very, very long time for their videos to be ready.
- Cost too much: Even current Pro subscription can't cover the costs.
So, do I need to buy both?
Lyvia Pro monthly gives you a free 200 credits bonus, and Lyvia Pro yearly gives you free 1,000 credits bonus. Bonus will be sent for every new subscription and renewal.
So, if you only need to try Video Faceswap, you can just buy Pro sub and use the bonus credits. The rest depend on your needs!
