Editorial suggestion · cites a checked fact
Choose it when: You want a self-serve avatar video product with a published free tier rather than a platform built around metered video minutes.
What changes: Source images and scripts carry over; D-ID projects and its real-time agent configuration do not.
What you give up: The free plan is limited to one custom video avatar; credits and advanced avatars sit on the paid plans.
Evidence: Verified 2026-10-10 HeyGen — Free ($0/month) plan for individuals, with one custom video avatar www.heygen.com ↗
Editorial suggestion · cites a checked fact
Choose it when: The videos are corporate training or explainer pieces where a large stock avatar and voice library matters more than a developer API.
What changes: Scripts carry over as text; D-ID's API integration has to be rebuilt against the new platform.
What you give up: The free tier is watermarked and capped at 10 minutes of video per month.
