RIFTPutting your face in a video means different things in different apps. Here are the iPhone options we could check, grouped by what each does. We make Rift, one of them, and we link every other fact to its own listing.

We left out apps we could not check today.
Reface
Its listing describes an all-in-one face swap photo and video editor, with swaps on photos and videos and live face swaps. See the app for prices and what is included.
Viggle
Its listing is “Viggle AI: Meme Maker” by WarpEngine Canada Inc. It lists a daily allowance of free videos and paid plans; its prices differ by plan, so check the app.
Rift
Rift is an iPhone app where you talk to Spark. Share a TikTok, Reel or Short, say who plays whom, check the Draft and tap Make. The price is on the Make button, a stopped Make isn’t charged, and characters made once from a few photos can be reused. It doesn’t do live swaps, captions, music, voice or lip-sync yet.
How to choose
- Want one quick swap on a clip: Reface.
- Want a template or a live character: Viggle.
- Want a particular video remade with the moves and camera kept: Rift.
Test before you pay
Run one clip and one clear photo through two apps. Check what each shows before you spend, and what the free use leaves out. We don’t claim any app is cheaper, quicker or better, and we print no prices we could not read today.
