Faceless.so is a hosted service that writes, voices, captions and edits faceless short-form videos, then auto-posts them to seven social platforms on a schedule. A REST API, a CLI and MCP servers let agent runtimes drive the same operations.

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Website | https://faceless.so |
| Price | from $29/month billed monthly, $24/month billed annually |
| Free tier | Partly |

Account creation is free and the homepage advertises "Free to sign up", but the vendor states there is no free trial and no standing $0 usage allowance: "No. Signing up is free, plans start at $29 per month". Paid plans grant monthly credits; credit packs start at $10 for 100 credits.

## What it does

**Done-for-you service** · No — Self-serve software the buyer operates; the vendor offers custom plans and dedicated support through sales, but no done-for-you channel management is advertised anywhere on the site.

> We offer tailored plans for teams with specific requirements, advanced features, and dedicated support.
> — https://faceless.so/pricing · "Need a custom solution?" block below the plan comparison table

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Yes — A Series generates and posts episodes on a schedule with no human in the loop, though the vendor also lets you approve, edit or skip each video before it goes out.

> A Series auto-generates videos on a schedule with consistent style, voice, and branding for your chosen niche and auto-posts to your channels
> — https://faceless.so/pricing · Starter plan card, tooltip on the "Unlimited Series" line

**Agent permissions** · Partly — Real controls exist: videos can be approved, edited or skipped before posting on any plan, and API keys carry per-endpoint scopes with OAuth consent, but the scoped-key half only applies where API access is sold.

> Keys are scoped, revocable in one click and rate limited per key. Posting is restricted to the accounts your team connected, and credits are the hard ceiling on anything that generates video.
> — https://faceless.so/agents · "Built to be trusted with a key" section, closing paragraph

_Not established: Multi-agent_

## Which models it runs on

**Claude** · Partly — Claude is supported as a caller, not as a generation model: a custom connector, remote MCP server and packaged skill let Claude drive Faceless, while the video models are the vendor's own three.

> Faceless ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agent runtimes (Claude, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and any other MCP client) can call the API as tools.
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/mcp · MCP guide, opening paragraph

**GPT** · Partly — ChatGPT is named as a supported MCP client that can call every Faceless operation, but GPT is not selectable as the model that generates the video.

> Point ChatGPT (or any MCP client) at the hosted server and every Faceless operation becomes a tool it can call mid-conversation.
> — https://faceless.so/agents · "Run it from wherever your agent lives" section, "Via ChatGPT" card

**Model choice** · Partly — You choose between three vendor-defined models at three credit prices, so there is real choice, but the catalogue is entirely Faceless's own with no third-party model option.

## Where you use it

**In your editor** · Partly — Cursor is explicitly supported as an MCP client, so the product reaches the editor as an agent tool, but there is no native IDE extension or plugin of its own.

> Faceless ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agent runtimes (Claude, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and any other MCP client) can call the API as tools.
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/mcp · MCP guide, opening paragraph

**On the command line** · Partly — A published npm CLI covers the whole API with JSON output and exit codes built for agents, but it rides on API access, which the plan table grants only from Ultra upward.

> Every endpoint as a command with --json output, agent-friendly exit codes and --wait polling for async work.
> — https://faceless.so/agents · "Four ways to connect" section, CLI card

**In a browser** · Yes — The product is primarily a hosted web app: niche picker, plan dashboard, posting calendar and a video editor you can fine-tune generated output in.

> Word-timed captions, matching B-roll and background music. Everything comes together automatically, and you can fine-tune it in the editor.
> — https://faceless.so · "Everything a reel needs, in every reel." section, "Captions, B-roll and music, done" card

## Whose machine it runs on

**Self-hosted** · No — Generation, rendering and storage all run on the vendor's own hosted infrastructure; the local MCP server is only a client process, not the product.

> Cloud Infrastructure Providers: We use DigitalOcean to host our servers and store data securely
> — https://faceless.so/privacy · "External Sharing with Service Providers" list, first bullet

**Open source** · No — The platform is proprietary and the terms forbid reverse engineering; only the client-side CLI, MCP server and Claude skill are distributed publicly, not the service itself.

> The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by the Company and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
> — https://faceless.so/terms · Section 4, Intellectual Property

## What it costs to run

**How it meters** · Yes — Two meters at once: a monthly plan that grants credits, and credits consumed per video at creation, priced 20 to 100 by model with top-up packs sold separately.

> Credits are the currency for video generation. Everything else in the API (rendering, publishing, scheduling, captioning existing footage, registering assets, all reads) is free.
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/credits-and-limits · Opening paragraph

**Free tier** · Partly — You can create an account without paying or talking to anyone, but the vendor states plainly there is no free trial and plans begin at $29 per month.

> No. Signing up is free, plans start at $29 per month, and you can cancel anytime from the billing page.
> — https://faceless.so/pricing · FAQ, answer to "Do you offer a free trial?"

**API access** · Partly — A versioned REST API with scoped keys, idempotency and typed errors is fully documented, but the plan comparison grants API access only on Ultra and Agency, not on the three cheaper tiers.

> Turn scripts into finished faceless videos and publish them to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads from your own code. One API key, a REST API, a CLI and MCP servers for agents.
> — https://faceless.so/developers · "Build with Faceless" hero paragraph

**MCP server** · Partly — Both a remote streamable-HTTP server and a local stdio server expose 28 operations as tools, with OAuth or key auth, but it depends on the API access sold from Ultra upward.

> All 28 API operations are exposed as tools named `faceless_*`, and each respects the key's scopes (a missing scope surfaces as a `forbidden_scope` error).
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/mcp · "Tools" section, opening sentence

_Not established: Bring your own key_

## Buying it for a team

**A company can buy it** · Yes — Everything is organised around a team: plans include named team-member counts, API keys act on behalf of a team, and sales handles custom requirements for larger ones.

> We offer tailored plans for teams with specific requirements, advanced features, and dedicated support.
> — https://faceless.so/pricing · "Need a custom solution?" block below the plan comparison table

**Seat model** · Partly — Seats are bundled, not priced per head: each tier includes a fixed ceiling of team members from 3 on Starter to 25 on Agency, and no page offers buying extra seats.

> Team members	3	5	7	10	25
> — https://faceless.so/pricing · Plan comparison table, USAGE group, "Team members" row

**Pooled budget** · Yes — Credits sit in one team-level balance that any member or key draws from, topped by the plan's monthly grant and by one-time packs, with a single shared ledger.

> A subscription is not required to create videos: any team with enough credits can generate, whether the credits came from a plan's monthly grant or a one-time top-up.
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/credits-and-limits · Opening section, second paragraph

**Admin controls** · Partly — An admin can constrain machine access precisely through per-key scopes, revocation and OAuth consent, but no policy controls over what human members may do are documented.

> Create a key with a name and the scopes it needs
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/authentication · "Managing keys" section, first bullet

**Audit log** · Partly — Spend is fully recorded in a credit ledger covering purchases, grants, spends and refunds, but there is no documented log of administrative actions such as key creation or member changes.

> The ledger lists purchases, subscription grants, spends and refunds.
> — https://faceless.so/developers/docs/credits-and-limits · "Check the balance" section, paragraph after the JSON example

_Not established: Single sign-on_

## What happens to your code

**Data residency** · Partly — The holding jurisdiction is disclosed rather than chosen: a New York LLC, DigitalOcean hosting, Indian governing law, and an explicit warning that data may move outside your own jurisdiction.

> Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.
> — https://faceless.so/privacy · "Transfer of Your Personal Data" section, first paragraph

**Getting out** · Partly — Videos leave cleanly as unlimited exports with direct MP4 download URLs, but unused plan credits expire every month; only separately purchased credit packs survive.

> From October 2, 2026, plan credits do not roll over: any that are unused when the next month's allowance is granted expire. Credits bought separately (credit packs and automatic top-ups) do not expire

## Correcting this record

Anything marked "Not established" is a question we have not answered — it is not a No. If you represent Faceless.so, or anything here is wrong or out of date, you can supply it with a source: the operations this site accepts from an agent are listed at https://theagentsindex.com/.well-known/agents.json — that catalogue needs no key to read, and each entry states its own auth.

Supplying evidence is free. Nothing that can be bought here changes what a field says, whether a gap is closed, or how this record is scored.
