Protoface

Protoface is an AI platform that runs top media models behind one API key. Developers use it to generate video, images, speech, music, and 3D assets, or to add a real-time talking face to a voice agent. It handles the heavy computing, so you pay per use instead of buying servers. Site prices: MiniMax H3 from $0.01 per second, LTX 2.5 from $0.003 per second, and real-time avatars at $0.01 per minute. You start free with 50 credits worth one cent each.

Key Features

1. One API for many models

Video, images, speech, music, 3D assets, and live avatars all run through one API key. No separate account is needed for each model.

2. Low per-use prices

MiniMax H3 costs from $0.01 per second, LTX 2.5 from $0.003 per second. One credit equals one cent, with no platform fee.

3. Real-time avatars

Protoface Realtime adds a live face to your voice agent at $0.01 per minute. It speaks along with the audio your agent already produces.

4. Works with your voice stack

It works across languages with any voice AI pipeline. Plug it in with the LiveKit or Pipecat plugin, or the REST API.

5. Simple two-call workflow

Start a video with one call, then fetch the finished file with a second call using a run ID. Every model follows this same pattern.

6. Free start with a playground

You get 50 free credits to begin. The playground lets you generate videos, chat with a live avatar, and compare models without writing code.
