Which one is for you
Pick D-ID if
- Fits if you turn scripts into talking-head videos without filming
- Works for developers who need an avatar API or live avatar agents
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need prices up front, since the plan table loads by script and was not readable
- Tight if you are on the trial or Lite, as their videos carry a watermark
- 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
Pick Move AI if
- Fits if you animate characters and want motion from an iPhone video
- Works for game and film artists in Unreal, Unity or Blender
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: prices are plus VAT, and extra credits need an active subscription
- Skip it if you are on Android, as the docs list no Android app
- Watch out: the rate page for extra credits returned an error
- Pricey if you need Genesis: 6 to 12 cameras and an Nvidia GPU, with no published price
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAD-IDFair | 2.2GPAMove AIFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price could be read, because plan prices load by script on the pricing page, so there is nothing to set against the $10 middle for image tools. | C$18 a month plus VAT for 60 credits, near the category's $19 dearer-quarter line. Larger plans run $48, $225 and $490. |

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.
