[REQUEST] Best Natural LipSync API? (Image + ElevenLabs Audio) - Cheap/Free Alternatives? 🗣️

Discussion & Solutions
1

Hey 1Hackers,

I’m looking for recommendations for a LipSync API to integrate into my workflow.

My current stack:

  • Audio: Generated via ElevenLabs (high quality).

  • Visual: Static AI Images (Midjourney/Flux).

The Goal: I need to animate the face/lips to match the audio naturally.

The Problem: Tools like HeyGen, D-ID, and Synthesia are wildly expensive for scaling. I’m looking for budget-friendly or open-source alternatives that I can host (RunPod/Colab) or a cheap API service.

Does anyone know:

  1. A cheap API that offers good “natural” results?

  2. Any reliable LivePortrait or SadTalker wrapper that is production-ready?

  3. Any “hidden gem” GitHub repo I should check out?

Thanks in advance! :rocket:
