✦ FAQ

Common questions about D-ID vs Novoads

Everything you need to know before switching.

It depends on your use case. If you need corporate training videos or internal communications, D-ID is the better choice — it's built for that. But if you need UGC-style video ads for social media, product demos with actors holding your products, or multilingual ad creative at scale, Novoads is purpose-built for that and costs less.

Yes. There's no data migration needed — you start fresh with Novoads. Write a script (or let AI generate one), choose from 50+ actors, and generate your first video in under 4 minutes. Most users who switch are producing content the same day.

Different, not worse. D-ID produces polished, corporate-looking videos. Novoads produces authentic, UGC-style content designed to look like real creator content. For social media ads, the UGC aesthetic typically outperforms corporate video in engagement and conversion rates.

Novoads starts at $39/month for 50 credits (~10 video ads). You can also try it with a one-time $10 purchase (10 credits) before committing to a subscription. For high-volume ad creative, Novoads is typically more cost-effective than D-ID.
