Dan Taylor-Watt asks Which avatar generator can create the most convincing Dan Taylor-Watt?
He tests seven AI platforms on four key criteria: visual likeness, audio likeness, movement and lip syncing.
The contenders are:
- HeyGen
- Synthesia
- AI Studios
- Mirage Studio
- Argil
- D-ID
- Colossyan
His top three conclusions are:
“1. Generating convincing avatar clones of real people is difficult and the human eye and ear are unforgiving of anything that’s slightly off.
2. HeyGen is still #1, although its voice likenesses remain imperfect and not a huge step on from 2 years ago.
3. Generating convincing voice likenesses appears to be more challenging than video likenesses, with ElevenLabs’ lead in this domain very apparent.”
He concludes with a great chart the summarizes cost, aspect ratio, consent and rating among other factors.

My take: great summary! I wonder how long the conclusion will remain true, with Sora 2’s Cameo feature coming soon.
