Animaze is avatar software for VTubers, streamers, creators, and video-call users. It supports custom 2D and 3D avatar imports, webcam and iPhone-based tracking, audio lip-sync, hand tracking, full-body tracking through supported hardware, virtual-camera output, and video recording. The combination suits creators who want one tool for live streaming, recorded video, calls, and avatar customization rather than a narrowly focused tracking utility.

Its freemium pricing gives new creators a practical entry point. The Basic plan provides unlimited streaming time with Animaze Virtual Camera, unlimited imports for custom backgrounds, avatars, and props, access to audio-based lip-sync, hand tracking, and full-body tracking, plus 80+ free items. Plus costs $19.99 per year with annual billing or $3.99 per month with monthly billing, adding watermark removal, Animaze Original content, 60 FPS streaming, a dedicated capture window, and MP4 video export. Pro costs $99.99 per year or $9.99 per month and adds everything in Plus, Pro-Streamer commercial rights for qualifying streamers, early beta access, and editable Holotech Originals content sources.

Animaze also fits established streaming and communication workflows through OBS, Streamlabs, SplitCamera, StreamDeck, Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Gaming, and Voicemod. Its support for Sony mocopi, Ultraleap, and Tobii Eye Tracker extends the tracking ecosystem, while the Windows desktop application and accompanying iOS app cover desktop production and mobile tracking capabilities. Choose Animaze if you want broad 2D/3D avatar support, multiple tracking methods, virtual-camera output, and recording at a low entry price. Users who need desktop software outside Windows, or who require full-body tracking without supported hardware or VMC, should consider a different fit.
