| What it does | Synthesia is an AI video platform that turns a script into a video with lifelike avatars, voices, and one-click translation. | HeyGen is an AI video generator that creates and translates videos with AI avatars and voices, without a camera or crew. |
| When to consider it | Consider it for training, onboarding, and internal communication videos produced from scripts, especially when they must be translated. | Consider it when you need short presenter-style or localized videos quickly and a custom avatar of a real person is acceptable for the use. |
| What to check first | The free plan adds a watermark and a small monthly allowance. Credits per minute of video vary, and video length is capped by plan. | Free videos are watermarked, short, and limited per month. Credit use varies by model, duration, and complexity, and credits do not carry over after cancellation. |
