Elai.io review

Elai.io sells avatar video by the minute, which makes budgeting easier than credit systems that mix video, dubbing and generation. The Creator plan costs $23 a month billed annually ($276 a year) or $29 monthly and includes 15 minutes of Full HD video, the full library of 80+ avatars and 75+ languages, and features such as PPTX-to-video, URL-to-video, auto translation and avatar dialogs. Extra minutes cost $2 each. Team, at $100 a month billed annually, raises the allowance to 50 minutes, adds 3 editors and 3 guests, custom images and fonts, 4K output and premium voices, and includes 1 selfie avatar and 1 voice clone on annual billing. On Creator, a selfie avatar recorded on a phone is a $199 a year add-on and a studio avatar is $500 a year. The library is smaller than Synthesia's or DeepBrain's, and the free plan's single minute is only enough for a quick test.
