D-ID vs Synthesia
Synthesia scores 9.3 to D-ID's 7.0 among the AI avatar video tools we rate, and is the better pick for 3 of the 4 kinds of buyer below.
Synthesia wins, 9.3 to 7.0
Synthesia charges $19 a month at its cheapest, well above D-ID's $5.90, though D-ID backs that price with only a 14 day trial, not a standing free plan. D-ID builds a talking avatar from one photo while Synthesia needs recorded footage instead, but Synthesia turns a document or deck into a presenter video, which D-ID cannot do. Synthesia also adds SCORM export, screen recording, a shared workspace and single sign on, none of which D-ID has. Both cap video export at 1080p.
Pick D-ID if you want the cheapest monthly price for a single photo avatar.
Pick Synthesia if you need document to video and a standing free plan.
