The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

Simli

Strengths

Under 300 milliseconds of added latency, so the face keeps up with a live conversation
Open-source plugins for LiveKit Agents and Pipecat, plus JavaScript and Python SDKs
Free plan with signup credit and a monthly minute top-up

Limitations

Renders the face only: speech, language model and voice come from your own stack
No editor and no finished video files, so it needs engineering work
Custom avatar processing takes a couple of hours

UneeQ

Strengths

Real-time conversation rather than pre-rendered avatar video
LLM-agnostic, so a deployment can run on GPT, Claude, Gemini or a customer's own model
Cloud, on-premise, hybrid and private deployment with geographic data residency
SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, with a 99.9% uptime SLA
Runs on web, iOS, Android, kiosks, holographic displays and AR/VR

Limitations

No published pricing; every deployment is quoted by sales
Branded characters are a services engagement through XD Studios, not self-serve
Built for enterprise programmes rather than one-off marketing videos
