Elai.io is built around turning existing material into avatar video. Its feature menu lists PPTX-to-Video, URL-to-Video, auto translation, voice cloning, screen recording, avatar dialogs, brand kits, SCORM export and a public API, and the company offers a Thinkific app for course creators. The free plan includes 1 user, 1 minute, 80+ avatars and 75+ languages. Creator costs $29 a month or $23 a month on annual billing ($276 a year) for up to 15 minutes of Full HD video a month, which works out to $1.53 a minute on the annual plan. Team costs $125 monthly or $100 a month annually for 50 minutes, 3 editors and 3 guests. The product covers the core workflow well, especially for slide-heavy training, but the minute allowance on Creator is small and the stock avatar library is narrower than at the leaders, so teams with high volume will reach the Team or Enterprise tiers quickly.

Who it is for
