The short version

  • Only D-ID has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: D-ID maximum video length capped at 5 minutes; Groove billed per ticket at $1 rather than per agent, so support cost scales with how many customers get in touch
  • They diverge on capability: D-ID covers Photo-to-video, Groove covers Shared inbox.
