Target audience
Technical users with a GPU who want free local face tools, or non-technical users willing to buy the installer. Not ideal for: casual mobile-only users, or anyone needing a simple cloud web app with no hardware setup. Misuse risk is high; editorial should stress consent and policy.

Pricing notes
Verified August 2026 via https://github.com/facefusion/facefusion, https://docs.facefusion.io/, and https://windows-installer.facefusion.io/ (installer v3.8.2 updated 10.08.2026). Core software: free open source. Windows Installer: $20 one-time (member discount advertised at $10). macOS Installer commonly listed at $30 on third-party mirrors of the official shop; confirm at macos-installer.facefusion.io at import time. Optional membership tiers (~$20–$100/mo) for support/early access appear on Buy Me a Coffee / third-party summaries; treat membership dollars as soft until reconfirmed on the live shop. facefusion.io homepage returned a CSS preload error during fetch; docs and GitHub remained healthy.

Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
NEW tool. Genuine local AI tool, not Inactive. Homepage stability flaky in August 2026 fetch. Flag deepfake ethics and platform ToS risk for directory copy. Do not confuse with unrelated cloud “FaceFusion” wrappers.
