AKOOL wins, 7.7 to 7.0
D-ID undercuts AKOOL on price, $5.90 a month against $12, but skips the free plan that AKOOL offers. AKOOL turns a document or slide deck into a presenter video and adds automatic captions, neither of which D-ID offers. AKOOL also has a shared workspace and single sign on, both missing from D-ID, and exports up to 4K against D-ID's 1080p. Both make a talking avatar from a single photo and require consent for a custom one.
Pick AKOOL if you want document to video, captions and a shared workspace.
