Questions
Can FAL make photos of me?
Through its API, with your own code. Doppelshot is the app: one selfie, one card.
Is FAL cheaper than Doppelshot?
Per call, yes; you pay in engineering. Doppelshot is 9.99 EUR for 20 photos, nothing to build.
Does FAL make talking videos?
It hosts the models. Doppelshot wires them into a talking video from your script in your voice.
Does Doppelshot have an API?
An MCP server for AI agents, with an API key, not a REST API.
