AR Conferencing SDK: Virtual Backgrounds and Face Filters for Video Calls

Banuba's AR conferencing SDK is licensed rather than sold at a list price. The quote depends on three things: the number of platforms you ship on, the number of monthly active users, and the feature set you need. Two commercial models are available. A flat annual license fee keeps the cost fixed no matter how far the app scales, and an active-user-based model starts significantly lower but grows with your user base and can pass the flat fee if the app takes off. See the AR Conferencing SDK pricing page and the Banuba Face AR SDK pricing guide, or tell us about your needs for a personalized quote.

Yes. Banuba gives you a 14-day free trial before any license purchase, so you can validate face tracking, background removal, and beauty filters on your own target devices before committing. Start it from the form on this page, or read what the license covers in the Banuba Face AR SDK pricing guide.

Yes. Banuba's Face AR SDK does all face tracking and effect rendering locally on the participant's device, with no cloud dependency, so camera frames never leave the machine and the effects keep working offline. This is what lets an AR conferencing feature clear a security review in regulated and enterprise environments. The Banuba Face AR SDK documentation covers the runtime requirements.

It is built in. Banuba's Face AR SDK ships face tracking, virtual backgrounds, beauty filters, 3D masks, and multi-face detection as native features of one SDK, so you integrate once rather than bolting an AR library onto a video infrastructure SDK that has none. For teams already on Agora, Banuba provides a ready extension that adds those effects to the existing stack.

Partly, and it shortens the first day of work. Banuba publishes Banuba AI skills and Banuba Face AR SDK Agent skills, which give an AI coding agent structured SDK knowledge, integration guidance, and workflow context so it can scaffold the integration and answer configuration questions without guessing. A developer still owns the build.

An AR meeting is a video call that uses augmented reality features such as face filters, virtual backgrounds, or avatars. It can be a professional conversation, for example, a department meeting with virtual backgrounds and touch-ups, or a casual one, for example, a family call with 3D masks. Banuba's AR conferencing SDK is what adds those features to an existing video calling app.
