D-ID review: pricing, features and agent access
AI talking-avatar video platform with Studio (self-serve) and API tiers.
Facts verified August 2026 Compiled from D-ID's own public documentation and pricing pages, not from a hands on test. The vendor site is d-id.com, which we do not link to.
What is D-ID
Plain description first, so you can rule it in or out before reading the rest.
AI talking-avatar video platform with Studio (self-serve) and API tiers.
What you are buying is a cast of synthetic presenters you can put on camera from a script, without booking a person. On this site it is filed with the other avatar UGC tools, which is the set a buyer normally holds it against, and the tools listed at the bottom of this page come from that set.
There is a free tier, so you can see the output before any card details change hands.
Quick verdict
What the record supports, said in as few sentences as it takes.
D-ID is an avatar UGC tool, which on this site means a cast of synthetic presenters you can put on camera from a script, without booking a person.
Price is the weak spot in the public record: free tier reported, then $5.90 per month, not confirmed. The figures in the table below are what D-ID's own pages and public write-ups report, but we could not match them to an official price list, so treat them as a starting point rather than a quote.
D-ID has no MCP server, but it does publish an API, so an agent can reach it through a wrapper you write and maintain yourself.
The clearest reason to pick it: 14-day free trial mentioned. The clearest reason not to: Trial and Lite plans carry a full-screen watermark.
Pricing
Read this section carefully. These figures are reported, not confirmed against an official D-ID price list.
We could not match these figures to an official D-ID pricing page. The rows below are recorded as reported, not as fact, and any number in them may be out of date or wrong. Treat them as a starting point for your own check rather than as a quote.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | What the plan says it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | Reported $5.90 per month, not confirmed | Reported $4.70 per year, not confirmed | 10 minutes/month for videos, agents, video translate & API; watermarked; figures per third-party pricing summaries, not directly confirmed on the live page during this check |
| Pro | Reported $29 per month, not confirmed | Reported $15.95 per year, not confirmed | 15 minutes/month; same caveat as above |
| Advanced | Reported $196 per month, not confirmed | Reported $108 per year, not confirmed | 100 minutes/month; same caveat as above |
| Enterprise | Not published | Not published | Custom, unlimited minutes, advanced security/integrations |
The figures above could not be matched to an official D-ID pricing page in August 2026, so they are recorded as reported rather than as fact. Check d-id.com before budgeting.
Features on ten dimensions
The same ten questions are asked of every tool on this site, so the answers can be lined up side by side.
| Dimension | D-ID |
|---|---|
| Avatar library | Yes |
| Actor licensing | Commercial use stated |
| Batch generation | No |
| Public API | Yes |
| Watermark on free plan | Yes |
| Languages | Not confirmed |
| Aspect ratios | 9:16 |
| Hook variations | No |
| Editing suite | No |
| Direct publishing | No |
Not confirmed means the answer was not stated in the public documentation we read, not that the answer is no. Facts verified August 2026.
Agent and MCP access
The dimension most review pages skip, and the one that decides whether this tool can be part of an automated pipeline.
D-ID has no MCP server, but it does publish an API, so an agent can reach it through a wrapper you write and maintain yourself.
D-ID has a dedicated API pricing tier separate from Studio; confirmed the tier exists but could not load exact API credit prices live.
- MCP: No MCP server
- API: Public API
- Batch generation: Not supported on the public record, so variants are produced one at a time.
Why this matters: a tool an agent cannot call is a tool a person has to sit in front of. If the plan is to brief once and get twenty variants back, the MCP and API rows above are the rows that decide whether that plan works.
Pros and cons
Both lists come from the same research pass. Neither is padded to match the other.
What works
- 14-day free trial mentioned
- Separate API product for developers, not just a UI
- Long-established avatar video vendor
- Annual billing available at a discount
What does not
- Trial and Lite plans carry a full-screen watermark
- Live pricing page did not render plan numbers during this check; the dollar figures here come from third-party aggregator pages, not a direct fetch of d-id.com, and should be spot-checked before publishing
- Minutes don't roll over month to month
- No published language count found
D-ID questions people ask

Yes, a separate API pricing track exists alongside the Studio (self-serve UI) plans.
Do unused minutes carry over?

Before you commit to D-ID
Check the two rows that are hardest to change later: whether your agent can call it, and what the second month costs. Everything else on a page like this is easier to live with than those two.
