Yoob vs HeyGen LiveAvatar
HeyGen LiveAvatar streams a face rendered on HeyGen’s GPUs. Yoob draws it on your user’s device. Here is what that changes, including where HeyGen is the better choice.
| Yoob SDK | HeyGen LiveAvatar | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the face is rendered | On the user’s phone or browser | HeyGen GPUs, streamed as video |
| Published rate | $0.03/min, $0.08 with Yoob voice | $0.10/min credit value in Lite mode; Full mode $0.20 (HeyGen, checked [RECHECK DATE]) |
| Concurrency | No limit from us: every user brings their own renderer | Bounded by the plan and GPU capacity |
| Video leaves the device | Never | Every frame is streamed |
| Platforms | iOS; web on desktop Chrome and Edge. No Android yet | Any browser that plays video |
| Avatar library and custom avatars | 14 published characters; custom characters take days | Large library and self-serve custom avatars |
| Certifications | Not SOC 2 certified yet | States SOC 2 Type II |
Choose HeyGen when
You need a large avatar library or self-serve custom avatars today, the session runs on low-end or Android phones, or procurement requires SOC 2 now.
Choose Yoob when
Sessions are long or numerous, so per-minute GPU billing grows with your best users; you cannot send user video or rendered frames off the device; or you need many conversations at once without reserving capacity. Model it with the cost calculator.
