Cancel any time; your plan runs to the end of the period. ## Frequently asked questions ### Pricing **What does a minute cost?** On your own hardware, Essence 2 and Expression 2 use 2 credits a minute; in our cloud, 4. At $1 per 100 credits that's about $0.02 and $0.04. **Can I pay yearly?** Yes. Annual plans bill twelve months of credits up front. **Can I cancel?** Cancel any time in the console; your plan runs to the end of the period. Upgrades apply at once, prorated. Switching to a cheaper plan takes effect at your next renewal: you keep your current plan's credits until then. **Do credits roll over?** Plan credits refill each billing period, and unused plan credits don't carry over. Top-up credits, on Creator and up, are used after your plan credits. ### Deployment & privacy **Can bitHuman run on the device?** Yes. Essence 2 and Expression 2 render on iPhone and iPad, Android (arm64), Mac, Linux and in browsers with WebGPU. Measured results for each device are published at docs.bithuman.ai/performance. **Does customer audio or video leave our network?** When the avatar renders on your hardware, its audio and video stay there. The conversation runs where you choose: the CLI's local conversation brain, your own speech and language services, or bitHuman's cloud voice service. With the first two, bitHuman receives usage metering only — never audio, video or conversation text. The local brain still signs in and reports usage online, so it needs a network connection; it is not part of the offline license. In the bitHuman cloud, and with the web embed, audio and conversation are processed by bitHuman and its service providers to run the session. **Does bitHuman train on our data?** Your photo is used to build your own avatar. If you need a written answer about model training for your organization, contact us. ### Offline **Can bitHuman run without an internet connection?** Offline license is only available to Business and Enterprise clients who want to run avatars completely locally, off the internet — e.g. kiosks, trade shows, ATM machines, embedded screens. Linux PCs and terminals; arranged through sales. Essence 1 runs fully offline on Linux (x86\_64 and ARM64) today. Essence 2 offline comes later. Expression 2 runs fully offline on Linux x86\_64 with an offline pack. Packs start at 100,000 credits. Other self-hosted and on-device sessions check in when they start and keep rendering through a network drop of up to 5 minutes. **Which operating systems can run an offline license?** Linux PCs and terminals (x86\_64 and ARM64). Phones, Macs and browsers stay online: the Swift package, the Android SDK and the web embed check your credential when a session starts, and an on-device session keeps rendering through a network drop of up to 5 minutes. Essence 1 runs fully offline on Linux (x86\_64 and ARM64) today. Essence 2 offline comes later. Expression 2 runs fully offline on Linux x86\_64 with an offline pack. For Windows-based terminals, talk to us. ### Avatars & models **Which model should I use?** Essence 2 for a photoreal person; Expression 2 for any character, from a person to an animal, a mascot or an object. Both render on the device, on your servers or in our cloud. Essence 1 and Expression 1 remain maintained first-generation models. Expression 1 is cloud-only. **What does it cost to make an avatar?** Creating your own avatar is a one-time 500 credits for Essence 2 (ready in a few minutes) or 2,000 credits for Expression 2 (it takes longer to build). **Where is an avatar made?** Creating an avatar from a portrait happens in the bitHuman cloud; the finished avatar then runs on your devices.
