Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 9 Nov 2026
FaceReady costs $19.99 a month, or $119.88 a year, which the page says works out at $9.99 a month. One subscription covers up to two computers, Mac or Windows. The 7-day trial carries a "FaceReady free trial" mark on the picture and needs no card; paid plans have no watermark and no time limit. You can start monthly and move to yearly later.
The pricing page says the company does not give refunds. Prices are in US dollars; any tax is added at checkout and we did not open checkout, so the tax amount is not known. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
Intel Macs, Windows 10 and macOS versions older than 14 are not supported, and the free trial puts a watermark on your picture.
What FaceReady does
AI de-aging virtual camera for Mac and Windows that makes your face look younger in video calls, with processing on your own computer.
Yearly halves the monthly rate, if you will use it for a year
The yearly plan is $119.88 against $239.88 for twelve monthly payments, so it only pays off if you keep the camera in daily use for the full year. Since the page says there are no refunds, use the 7-day trial first and check the result on your own face and your own video app.
How to actually use FaceReady
Download the Mac or Windows app from faceready.ai and start the free trial. On a Mac, open FaceReady from Applications, allow camera access, switch the FaceReady camera extension on, then choose FaceReady as the camera in your video app. The Mac version needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and an Apple silicon chip; Intel Macs and Windows 10 are not supported. We did not install it ourselves.
Distilled from FaceReady's own homepage, pricing page, system-requirements page and Mac install guide, read on 9 November 2026 with research prepared in October 2026. FaceReady is an affiliate partner of ours through Awin. We have not used the app ourselves.
The natural comparison is Snap Camera: Snap Camera is not in our directory as a reviewed tool, so we have no comparison. Test the free trial against the filter you use now.
