What it costs

D-ID’s Agents pricing was not readable on its public pricing page when we checked, so we make no price comparison here. Ask D-ID how idle time in an open session is billed.

Somebody counts minutes only while a conversation is active. Pro is $29 a month with 150 avatar minutes on Included AI, or 1,000 on your own AI keys, where your provider bills you separately for the model. Extra minutes are $0.12 with Included AI and $0.03 with your own keys.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still curious? Ask our agent — it knows the product inside out.

Is Somebody a D-ID alternative?

For a talking agent on a website, yes. D-ID is the closer fit when you want a photorealistic avatar generated from a photo, or videos and agents from one vendor.

Both use a script tag. What is different?

What the script loads. D-ID’s opens a video stream when a conversation starts. Somebody’s draws the face in the browser, so the agent is live on the page before anyone clicks and costs nothing while it waits.

Can a Somebody agent use my documents?

Yes. Upload documents, link pages and add FAQs, and the agent answers from what you approve and can show it on screen.
