the AI character generator

Keep the expression that works. Both images are fictional and generated from your prompt — no photo upload.

Is AvatarSay a full Dreamina replacement?

No. AvatarSay has no image upload, no own audio, no languages other than English, no free daily credits, and no image, video or marketing studio. It makes fictional characters from text and animates them in English clips of 5–30 s with 8 preset voices. Dreamina has those wider tools.

Is there a free option?

30 free credits and one free talking clip up to 5 s are included on a new AvatarSay account while the launch offer lasts. Dreamina provides free daily credits, and free downloads carry a watermark.

Is there a watermark?

AvatarSay adds no watermark, including on the free clip. Dreamina free-plan downloads carry a Dreamina watermark, and removing it is a paid-plan benefit.

What about the Trustpilot score?

Dreamina’s Trustpilot profile is unclaimed and showed 1.5 from 37 reviews on 7 November 2026. That is a small sample, and Trustpilot says it does not fact-check reviews. AvatarSay has no independent reviews yet.

Can I use my own photo or voice?
