Humva is an independent review desk: it sells no video product and scores 12 AI avatar video tools on one published scorecard, from evidence that carries its capture date. A finished minute costs $0.14 to $8.00 across the 10 tools in the Cost Index.
Three answers, two or three pages to read next. Nothing is sent or stored.
Each tile is one review row: the tool, one dated fact from its ground truth, and the day it was checked.

Every plan of every indexed tool converted to one unit, then priced at your volume. Captured 2026-10-14.
Most tools offer a free tier, and most of those stamp a watermark on the output. Free tiers, plan by plan.
Credits buy minutes at a rate set by the avatar engine, so one plan can cost $0.19 or $1.50 a minute. HeyGen shows the spread.
Hedra publishes no minute rate, and per-video tools such as Arcads price outside the minute unit. How the Index was built.
Sorted by real cost per finished minute at 30 minutes a month on the standard engine, billed monthly. Sorted by documented cost, not by quality.

Prices from 90 plan rows across 10 tools, captured 2026-10-14. A plan's price divided by the minutes you use: an unused allowance still costs money.
Job toggles map to the six best-of lists; constraint toggles remove tools before price is compared.

Constraints
9 tools pass, sorted by documented cost per finished minute, not by quality.
A watermark on the entry plan, output licensed for personal use only, or a minute rate the vendor does not publish removes a tool before its price is compared. Each constraint reads the plan row in the Cost Index, captured on the date shown on every card.

Record the vendor’s consent clip, then train the twin. Your face and voice are biometric data, so read the training license first. The consent rules buyers miss.
Label it where the viewer first meets it, and keep the endorsement rules in mind: the presenter being synthetic does not lift them.
A vendor number needs a method and a primary source before it reaches a page.
| The claim | Where it traces | Why it stays off the page |
|---|---|---|
| 67% of social media users engage with AI video daily | Only to vendor Zebracat, which publishes no method | Found repeated in 8 language editions of one review, never with a source |
| A supplier case study read as proof of an avatar effect | Vidyard’s Terminus case study, about video outreach | Tim Robertson (The Sales Lab) warns it is a supplier’s result, not an AI avatar effect |
| A lip-sync score read as realism | SyncNet metrics quoted in product pages | THEval found no significant correlation with human ratings |
The scorecard formula is identical for tools with and without a partner program; an affiliate relationship never enters it.
Until a partner program is joined, a vendor link is the vendor’s own URL and the page says so.
Rates on request. An advertiser buys space, never a score or a ranking.
A partner program, a commission rate or an advertiser relationship. Weights and bands are public.
Run the tools itself. No testimonials, no user counts, no invented staff; every published piece is checked by an accountable person.
Cost per finished minute, avatars and plan limits, side by side.
Every plan of every indexed tool, converted to one unit.
Federal law, state rules and AI avatar consent, mapped by trigger.
Pick two tools and read them side by side. A price on this site is checked against the vendor page and dated; tell the desk when a vendor changes it.
