HeyGen vs Synthesia

A quick look at the differences and why HeyGen should be your choice for AI video creation.

I tried out their free avatar, and was up and running with a basic quality avatar in under 60 minutes (including time taken to render a demo video where I wrote the script). Very slick, guys.

I was testing Heygen and Synthesia for possible purchase by my company but am just able to test Synthesia as it offers a decent free video creation for testing purposes. Hope Heygen offers at least half of the video creation time of what they are offering to help test the platform out. Currently, the duration is not long enough to produce a decent video to showcase to my management.

Heygen is so good, that Synthesia also promoting it... so cool 😝

[WowSpot]

That's really best and accessible avatar platform developed until now! @Heygen

[IsabellaFrancoo]

The only problem with HeyGen is that it is too expensive, and it doesn't have a plan with unlimited credits.

[KeywordManagement]

I don't disagree, but I hope Heygen can come up with some pricing plans for agencies or more instant avatars. Good stuff HeyGen.

[Luapnampahc]

I dunno. The lip sync was pretty good on both to be fair

[abdulwazir]

What is the price for real avatar and voice there is no information about enterprise level pricing . Can you please provide any details ?

[teemoteemonsi]

is heygen able to be a realtime avatar for chatbot in a website?

[WowSpot]

Not to mention the difference in price that is very high and you don't get what HeyGen offers.

[Virtualclinic]

Please do it unlimited and reduce the price. You will get so many customers

[Virtualclinic]

But Heygen is unaffordable. You have to reduce the price

[Kabir-dhdg]

Emil and Helpjuice has to see it. They will call this as evil marketing practice.

[ProDigitalMakers]

Are you no longer offering 1 minute trial?

[ScottsHonestReviews]

50$ a month for only 30 credits... GET outta here thats just a joke!1 Credit per 1 min video, if you had 1 just one freaking 30 min video you could only do 1 video per month for 50$ talk about dropping the soap 150X in prison

[baesherdown]

very interesting system but far too expensive for the average person

[carolinamunoz]

Si se utiliza solo la voz igual sigue cobrando los creditos?

[gewickG]

I like the avatar for sure, but he needs to button up his collar ;)

Random thought.... I'm trying to figure out why all you companies working with AI, also have a circular logo.
