D-ID started with talking photos and now offers both photo and video avatars, agentic videos and conversational agents in one studio. It has the lowest entry price on this list: Lite costs $4.7 a month billed annually ($56 a year) and includes 10 minutes a month shared across videos, agents, Video Translate and the API, plus unlimited videos in the first month under a fair-use policy. Lite keeps the D-ID watermark, though, so most business users will need Pro at $16 a month billed annually, which adds 3 personal avatars, premium voices, 1 voice clone, a commercial use license and 15 minutes a month. Advanced, at $108 a month billed annually, raises that to 100 minutes, 5 personal avatars and 3 voice clones and adds a custom logo. There is no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial, and D-ID's plan pages say less about training features such as SCORM or quizzes than the L&D-focused tools above.
