In their own words
FaceFig
FaceFig is a web-based tool for creating face-based avatars and downloading them as HD images. Both listed avatar styles are supported, and commercial use is allowed. The service does not provide rigged exports, game-engine export, or face tracking, so its listed output is image downloads. A free plan includes 3 free regenerations per month and 7-day original retention. Paid packs are one-time purchases with credits, photo limits, and longer retention. The Starter Pack costs 24.90 USD once for 100 credits, up to 25 standard-resolution photos, and 30-day original retention. Larger options include the Pro Pack at 199.00 USD once, Studio Pack at 745.00 USD once, Agency Pack at 2240.00 USD once, and Enterprise Pack at 4980.00 USD once. Enterprise includes 50,000 credits, up to 12,500 standard-resolution photos, 5-year original retention, and custom volume and SLA through sales.
