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.

TTS in this stack
D-ID lets you bring your own text-to-speech voice instead of its bundled one, so the voice engine is a separate pricing and quality decision. Compare the engines creators plug in most: ElevenLabs, Cartesia, OpenAI TTS, or the full text-to-speech comparison →
Distribute it
A finished D-ID video still has to reach an audience, and publishing it across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram is a scheduling problem with real per-channel pricing. Compare the schedulers creators actually run: Buffer, Postiz, Mixpost, or the social media scheduling platforms compared →
Conversational avatars in this stack
D-ID's interactive avatar mode is a face on top of a voice agent: the turn-taking, telephony, and orchestration underneath still come from a voice-ai platform. Compare the platforms builders wire a real-time avatar into: Pipecat, OpenAI Realtime API, Twilio ConversationRelay, or the full voice-agent comparison →
