Our take
Pick D-ID if learning, CX, and marketing teams who want a talking presenter or an on-site visual agent without building WebRTC. Pick Synthesia if l&D and internal comms teams who want avatar videos without a camera crew. Skip D-ID if people who only need TTS (ElevenLabs) or a full generative video timeline (Runway). Skip Synthesia if creators who want a consumer avatar clip (HeyGen) or a general generative video
