vs FaceTec
Faceplugin vs FaceTec. 2D on-premise face/liveness/document SDKs versus FaceTec 3D FaceMap liveness, server SDK, and usage-based 3D liveness billing.
FaceTec focuses on 3D liveness (3D FaceMap / FaceScan), 3D face matching, and ID scan/OCR as part of that flow. Device SDKs target iOS, Android, and webcams. Customers run FaceTec Server SDK on their servers; FaceTec’s site describes monthly 3D liveness usage (minimum commitment) with ID scans included for customers. Certified PAD is a core FaceTec marketing claim.
Faceplugin ships 2D on-premise engines: still-image or camera-frame matching and passive anti-spoofing, plus standalone passport OCR and document liveness. Linux/Windows are HTTP APIs you host (ports 8083 / 8084 / 8082). License is an offline license key, not a per-liveness monthly meter in these docs.

Choose Faceplugin when you want unlimited on-prem inference after license, 2D JPEG/faceDetection APIs, Docker Hub images, and a separate document OCR engine you combine yourself (eKYC).
Look at FaceTec when you specifically need 3D FaceMap liveness and their certified PAD / 3D matching stack.
