Pick D-ID if

- Watch out: unused minutes are lost each month, and length rounds up to the next 15 seconds
- Watch out: API pricing is separate from the Studio plans

- Skip it if you need the API, as it starts at Scale
- Watch out: premium and ultra models add a one-time training fee per speaker
- Not for you if you want a free try, as the page offers none

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
