Pricing

Two products. One renderer.

The companion is for people. The SDK is for companies. They price nothing alike, because they cost nothing alike.

Yoob Companion

Personal use

The face, the voice and the listening all run on your phone. The brain runs on ours. Personal, non-commercial use only — it can’t be embedded in another product or resold.

Frontier brain — optional, meteredPrefer a bigger model or a cloud voice? Both are available per-minute at our provider cost plus margin, shown before you switch it on. The included brain stays free.
Why the free tier can be this generousYour phone draws every frame and speaks every word, so a free hour costs us a fraction of a cent of GPU for the conversation alone. Nobody serving avatars from a datacenter can match that, at any burn rate.

Yoob SDK

Commercial

Put a Yoob character inside your own app. You bring the brain and the voice; we render on your users’ devices, so there is no GPU bill behind your product.

Premium voiceCloud TTS and frontier speech models are billed through at provider cost plus margin. On-device voice is included and costs nothing per word.
Branded charactersA character trained on your own identity or IP, delivered as a signed bundle. Setup plus an annual licence — details.
How minutes are countedThe SDK reports conversation seconds. Rendered frames are never counted, never capped, and never charged — only time a character is actually in a conversation.

Rates and sources

Vendor-published list rates for their realtime product, entry paid tier, own currency, checked 26 July 2026. Most are overage rates after a bundled allowance, and at volume most vendors quote below list. Simli’s pricing page 404s and D-ID’s won’t render, so we publish no number for either. Hedra is excluded — offline generation, not a realtime stream.

Not sure which lane you’re in?

If it’s for you, it’s the Companion and it’s free. If it ships inside something you sell, it’s the SDK. If you’re somewhere between — a research project, a class, a game jam — email us and we’ll almost certainly just say yes.
