## What we know about D-ID

D-ID is a ai avatar video platform: aPI-first talking-avatar generator with a large-scale personalization/batch focus and a conversational Agents product. This profile tracks every D-ID fact we have verified, each linked to a primary source and dated.

D-ID does not publish a public per-minute rate we have been able to verify, so the price figure here stays blank until we can confirm one. We would rather show nothing than a guessed number; if you have a current D-ID quote, it is the fastest way for us to close that gap.

On capabilities, D-ID covers free plan watermarks output, custom avatar from footage, instant avatar from a photo, voice cloning included, interactive / conversational avatars, and video translation / dubbing. Each of those is verified against D-ID's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.

For compliance, with D-ID: SOC 2 Type II is in place. If you are in a regulated space, confirm the current posture with D-ID before you commit, since these change plan by plan.

In total we track 20 verified facts for D-ID today, each linking the primary source it came from so you can check our work - and vendor claims we have not measured ourselves are labeled as such on the D-ID fact sheet below.
