A Hedra alternative
with lip-sync and a locked character
Hedra sells monthly Studio plans whose credits do not carry over, and a pay-as-you-go API. Inflyu sells one-time credit packs that never expire: lip-sync a clip to new audio, lock a Character ID from your reference photos, animate a still and swap a person into your own footage. A monthly plan from $8.99 is optional.

Questions
Can I reuse one character across images and video?+
Yes, within limits. Inflyu builds a Character ID by generating 16 reference photos of your character from its profile photo; you keep at least 10 and lock them. New images use up to four of those locked photos as reference images. Video tries a reference-to-video model fed with the locked photos and may fall back to animating a still generated from those photos. This is reference-image conditioning, not a trained model (no LoRA), so likeness is strong but not guaranteed.
Does Inflyu train a custom model on my photos?+
No. Character ID is a locked set of reference photos that new images and videos use as references, so likeness is strong but can vary.
Can I lip-sync my own clip to a new audio track?+
Yes. Lip-sync starts at 7 credits for 4 seconds, and the price is shown before you confirm.
Do unused Inflyu credits carry over?+
Pack credits never expire. Monthly plan credits refill each month and don't roll over.
How many free credits does a new account get?+
20 credits once, no card required. They are a one-time grant, not a daily or monthly allowance.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. You can pay as you go: credit packs are one-time purchases and their credits never expire. If you would rather have a steady supply, the monthly Starter ($8.99), Creator ($19), Pro ($49) and Brand ($99) plans refill your credits each month, and you can cancel anytime. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
