## SwapShoot and DeepSwap side by side

DeepSwap and SwapShoot both put a new person into an existing picture, but they cover different ground. DeepSwap is a face swap tool for video, photos and GIFs, and it also offers VR face swap and AI video made from a still image. SwapShoot does one thing: it swaps the whole head in a still photo, hair included.

The table below sticks to facts we could check on DeepSwap's own site and pricing page. Where we could not confirm something first-hand, such as its prices in dollars, we left it out rather than guess.

## Why people look for a DeepSwap alternative

Most people who search for an alternative work with photos and want a different kind of result or a different way to pay. A face swap changes the face and keeps the hair that was already in the photo. That works when the hair matches. When it does not, the hairline is where the old photo and the new face meet, and the person can still look like whoever was there before.

A head swap replaces the face and the hair together, so the new person arrives with their own hairstyle. The pose, clothes, hands, background and light stay as photographed. The [face swap vs head swap comparison](https://swapshoot.com/face-swap-vs-head-swap) explains the difference in more detail.

The other reason is how you pay. DeepSwap sells subscription plans and charges credits per swap: 0.1 credit for a photo, 1 credit per 15 seconds of video and 1 credit for a GIF. Some people would rather pay for photo swaps one at a time, with nothing that renews.

## Where DeepSwap is still better

If your work is video, DeepSwap is the better fit. SwapShoot does not do video, GIFs or VR at all. DeepSwap advertises 4K video face swap and can swap up to 6 faces in one video clip, which SwapShoot cannot do.

SwapShoot also handles one face per swap. A group photo works if you change one person at a time, but you cannot swap several faces in one go. If you need any of this, keep DeepSwap for it and use SwapShoot for the photos where the hair matters.

## Try the same photo on SwapShoot

The fairest test is a photo you have already swapped somewhere else. Run it again here and compare the two results side by side.

Step 1: upload the photo to change. Open SwapShoot in your browser and add the photo whose pose, clothes and background you want to keep. It should show one person with a clearly visible face.

Step 2: add the new head and swap. Upload a clear photo of the new head, with the face and hair visible, then press Swap head. Sign in with Google or any email address when you do. Before your first swap you confirm once that you are 18 or older and have permission from the people in your photos.

Step 3: check and download. About a minute later the result appears next to the original. Look at the face, then the hairline, then where the neck meets the clothes. Download what you want to keep. Results are deleted within 24 hours, uploads are not kept, and photos are never used for training. The [head swap guide](https://swapshoot.com/head-swap) has more tips on choosing photos.

## What a head swap looks like

Each row is one swap: the original photo, the head photo used, and the result. The face and the hair change; the pose, clothes, background and light stay as photographed.
