This is super cool! Have you tried any of the open source / free APIs to do similar? If so, how do they stack up?

Yes, checkout the SOD embedded project by the same PixLab team which let you detect faces on mobile & iot devices at Real-Time.

If you are programming for iOS, you can use the Vision framework, which has face landmark detection built in. It works on device, so it's free without limits and you can do all that stuff in real time.

I have not yet tried the face landmark detection but I have successfully applied the rectangle detection from the Vision framework to extract the image from a TV to perform a classification on what channel is currently running, which worked quite well.
