D-ID pricing in 2026 is split between Studio and API plans. Studio offers a 14-day trial plus Lite, Pro, Advanced, and Enterprise tiers. API Build starts at $18 monthly, or $14.40 per month billed annually; 64 credits provide up to 16 offline-video or 32 streaming minutes. Commercial API use begins with Launch at $50 monthly or $35 per month billed annually.
Prices and limits last checked September 7, 2026. D-ID can change plan details, so verify the live checkout before purchasing.
D-ID API pricing at a glance
D-ID separates its creator-facing Studio subscriptions from developer-focused API plans. The figures below come from the current D-ID API pricing page and preserve the mapping between each bundle, its credits, and its offline and streaming allowances.
| API plan | Monthly price | Annual equivalent | Credits | Offline video | Streaming video |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trial | $0 for 14 days | — | — | Up to 3 min | Up to 10 min |
| Build | $18 | $14.40/mo | 64 | 16 min | 32 min |
| Launch | $50 | $35/mo | 180 | 45 min | 90 min |
| Launch | $99 | $69.30/mo | 360 | 90 min | 180 min |
| Launch | $149 | $104.30/mo | 540 | 135 min | 270 min |
| Scale | $198 | $138.60/mo | 800 | 200 min | 400 min |
| Scale | $248 | $173.60/mo | 1,000 | 250 min | 500 min |
| Scale | $297 | $207.90/mo | 1,200 | 300 min | 600 min |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Trial and Build carry personal licenses and watermarks. Launch introduces a commercial license with an AI watermark; Scale adds a custom logo. Confirm the exact license, watermark, security, concurrency, and support terms attached to the bundle you select.
D-ID’s subscription explainer says credits are issued monthly, unused credits do not roll over, and Studio and API plans serve different buying paths. Underused capacity therefore increases the effective price per completed minute.
D-ID Studio pricing in brief
D-ID Studio pricing is intended for people creating videos through a visual workspace. The live interface currently presents the following entry points, but its Lite offer can vary by rendered page or checkout.
| Studio plan | Monthly price | Annual equivalent | Pooled allowance shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trial | $0 for 14 days | — | 3 min |
| Lite | Varies by rendered offer | Verify at checkout | 10 min |
| Pro | $29 | $15.95/mo | 15 min |
| Advanced | $196 | $108/mo | 100 min |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom |
The pricing interface describes a pooled allowance across supported Studio activities, while D-ID’s billing FAQ says API usage is taken from the same credit balance as Studio. Do not use Studio’s lowest headline price as the budget for a production API workload; verify the plan, license, bundle size, and checkout shown to your account.
How D-ID credits convert to minutes
One D-ID credit covers up to 15 seconds of offline video. Duration rounds up in 15-second blocks, so a 40-second output uses three credits. The current API plan table lists twice as many streaming minutes as offline minutes at each paid tier; D-ID also states that streaming credits are priced at half the offline rate.
At full utilization, the plan fee is roughly $0.56 per streaming minute on monthly Build and $0.50 on monthly Scale. Their annual equivalents are approximately $0.45 and $0.35. These are subscription-fee calculations, not guaranteed production totals.
Studio, API, and Visual Agents use different meters
D-ID Studio is a visual video workspace; API plans support programmatic video and streaming. The developer quickstart separates asynchronous video generation from real-time agent sessions delivered through WebRTC. The credits endpoint lets an API integration inspect its remaining balance.
There is also a public-source conflict buyers should know about. D-ID’s Visual Agents page says Agent usage costs 0.5 credit for every 30 seconds, while its dedicated Agent pricing help article says a response of up to 15 seconds uses 0.5 credit, plus 0.5 for each additional 15-second interval. The API bundle allowances align more closely with the second interpretation. Ask D-ID to confirm the live meter and contract language before forecasting Agent usage.
What can make the real D-ID cost higher?
The plan table does not answer every production question. Before approval, ask D-ID to document:
- when billing starts and stops, plus concurrency and endpoint rate limits;
- custom-avatar, storage, regeneration, and overage charges;
- watermark and commercial-license requirements;
- whether LLM, speech, transport, recording, and analytics are included;
- alerting and behavior when the monthly credit balance reaches zero.
D-ID pricing vs. Spatius for a SaaS product
D-ID is a broader hosted video-and-agent platform. Spatius is a client-rendered avatar layer for teams that already own their LLM, TTS, tools, and workflow. A naked per-minute comparison is therefore incomplete, but the commercial entry points still reveal a significant difference in published avatar capacity.
D-ID Launch begins at $50 monthly, or a $35 monthly annual equivalent, for up to 90 streaming minutes. The Spatius pricing page lists Starter at $189 per year—about $16 per month—with approximately 2,000 avatar minutes monthly, four concurrent sessions, and additional usage at $0.0072 per minute. Spatius excludes the AI brain and voice stack, so add those services before claiming a total-cost winner.
The official LiveKit integration guide documents Spatius client-side rendering within an existing voice-agent session. Use the AI avatar pricing comparison and avatar cost calculator to normalize minutes, concurrency, and adjacent services instead of treating different product scopes as identical.
Choose D-ID when its creative-video and Visual Agent ecosystem matches the product you need. Consider Spatius when your SaaS product already has an agent and needs a lower-cost visual layer. The Spatius vs. D-ID comparison covers the architecture in more detail.

Model the price around your actual product
Already have the LLM, voice, and tools? Compare the two architectures using your real session length, monthly minutes, peak concurrency, devices, and fallback behavior rather than a headline subscription alone.
