Prices checked 2026-11-02 on the official pricing page · Full cost calculator. Verdict rule, the same on every page: 1) we look for a tool that does the same main job (avatar video) with a lower checked price on the same billing (monthly with monthly, yearly with yearly) and name the cheapest; 2) if there is none, we say so; 3) the Best Value label is shown separately and never replaces the price answer. No ratings or reviews.
Refunds: Case by case, within 15 days of the charge, less likely if you used a lot of credits. (checked 2026-10-27) Refund and cancel steps →
