Protoface

Protoface is a generative-media inference platform for developers and teams building AI-native products. Its unified API provides access to frontier video and media models such as MiniMax H3, LTX 2.5, Veo, Seedance, image models, and Protoface Realtime avatars. The platform also offers a Studio for browser-based generation, realtime avatar workflows, a dashboard for testing API calls and tracking usage, and integrations for realtime applications. API usage is pay as you go, while subscriptions are used for features such as realtime avatars or unlimited Studio video plans.

✨ Key Features

• Unified media API — Access multiple generative media models through one integration.
• Video generation — Generate video with models including MiniMax H3 and LTX 2.5.
• Image generation — Use supported image models through the platform.
• Realtime avatars — Build expressive realtime avatar experiences.
• Studio — Generate videos in a browser-based creative workspace.
• Model catalog — Compare available providers, modalities, and model rates.
• Pay-as-you-go API — Pay for API output usage without requiring a subscription.
• Usage dashboard — Test calls and monitor usage from a web dashboard.
• Reference inputs — Use supported image, audio, and video references in generation.
• Developer quickstarts — Start an API integration with documentation and quickstarts.
• Realtime integrations — Use supported LiveKit and Pipecat integrations.
• Enterprise scaling — Access higher concurrency and priority support on enterprise terms.

💳 Pricing

• Evaluation allowance — 50 starter credits. Accounts without payment history receive watermarked videos for evaluation; this is not a recurring free API allowance.
• API — Pay as you go, with 1 credit priced at $0.01 and model-specific rates. Examples: MiniMax H3 from $0.01/second and LTX 2.5 Fast from $0.003/second.
• Studio Unlimited — From $29/month for video generation with selected models; the unlimited entitlement does not apply to every model or API request.
• Realtime — Plans start at $20/month. The pricing page lists avatar inference from $0.01/minute; plan allowances and overage are separate from Studio video entitlements.
• Enterprise — Custom terms for higher concurrency and priority support.
