Elai.io wins, 7.2 to 7.0
D-ID's $5.90 a month undercuts Elai.io's $29, though D-ID has no free plan and Elai does. Elai turns a document or deck into a presenter video and adds automatic captions, both missing from D-ID. D-ID holds a live conversation with its avatar, something Elai cannot do, since Elai's avatar dialogs are pre-recorded rather than real time. Elai also reaches 4K export, D-ID tops out at 1080p, and Elai has a shared workspace where D-ID has none.
Pick D-ID if you want the lowest monthly price and live conversation.
Pick Elai.io if you want document to video, captions and a shared workspace.
