The short answer

Start with the input you have, the result you want and your budget. These are the differences that affect that choice.

  • These tools produce different results. Choose the operation you need first; a lower price does not make one a substitute for the other.

Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?

Request body, field by field

The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.

  • 1 fields appear in both request bodies under the same names. video_url
  • Video Face Enhancer accepts no field the other one lacks.
  • Only Lip Sync accepts: audio_url.
  • Video Face Enhancer requires video_url.
  • Lip Sync requires audio_url, video_url.
  • Both reject unknown fields outright, so a parameter left over from the other model comes back as a validation error instead of being quietly ignored.

Compare

Moving from one to the other

The model identifiers are spicyapi/face-enhancer-video-v1/video-edit and spicyapi/lip-sync-v1/lip-sync, and both go in the same field of the same request.

Both run the same way: submit the task, then poll it or take the callback. Queueing and retry logic carry over unchanged.

Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.

One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.
