The verdict

D-ID wins, 7.0 to 6.5

Tavus prices its cheapest plan at $22 a month, D-ID at $5.90, and only Tavus keeps a standing free plan. D-ID says it does not train its AI on your videos, while Tavus's privacy policy allows using conversation data to train its own models with no opt out stated. D-ID can translate a finished video into another language, a feature Tavus does not offer. Tavus adds a shared workspace and single sign on, both missing from D-ID.

Pick D-ID if you care about not having your videos used for training.

Pick Tavus if you want a shared workspace and a standing free plan.
