Editorial suggestion · cites a checked fact
Choose it when: The videos are corporate training or explainers that need a governed, enterprise-oriented avatar and voice library.
What changes: Scripts carry over as text; HeyGen's custom avatars and video-translation projects do not.
What you give up: The free tier is watermarked and capped at 10 minutes of video per month.
Evidence: Verified 2026-10-10 Synthesia — Basic plan at $0/month with 500 credits and 10 minutes of video per month, watermarked www.synthesia.io ↗
Editorial suggestion — not a checked fact
Choose it when: You need real-time interactive avatars and photo animation through an API rather than a video-production studio.
What changes: Source images and scripts can be reused; HeyGen's templates and campaign setup have no equivalent.
What you give up: Plans are metered by video minutes and the API is usage-priced, so cost scales with volume rather than a flat seat.
