Roop Review
Read full review, pricing, and alternatives
Roop is simpler and free compared to DeepFaceLab (which offers higher quality but requires training). Roop-Unleashed adds a web UI and better models to the original codebase. Commercial tools like Reface and DeepFaceLive offer easier setup but sacrifice privacy and local control. ReActor has largely replaced Roop as the preferred Stable Diffusion face swap extension.
