30 minutes of video a month for 89.00 per month for Synthesia vs unlimited for the same price on HeyGen makes this a no-brainer. Thirty minutes a month is a terrible value for 89.00.
You should have included moderation in your evaluation criteria. Heygen wins hands down. Synthesia can take up to a day to get through moderation review and most of the videos I tried were rejected. I was not doing anything crazy, just using it to provide stock market updates and trading recommendations.
Great video. You nailed it, Synthesia looks and feels more realistic, ease of use. If you plan on customizing in a 3rd party software, we use adobe, may not matter. That said, recent pricing model by HeyGen with unlimited video compared to fixed minutes with Synthesia is attractive. Depends on your usecase. We use both, customer facing Synthesia, internal HeyGen.
Thanks for the rundown! As a Synthesia user, I’ve got to agree-it’s way better than HeyGen. But honestly, the avatar in this video doesn’t really do its real quality justice
The quality of Heygen is way better than that, but the ai studio with preset backgrounds is nice. Loving the Premuim Heygen rn might add this 2nd platform too!
Great vid. Overall Synthesia, but HeyGen cloned avatars lip sync better. Also I have a paid HeyGen plan and to me it isn't user friendly. Never used Synthesia but looks way easier to use to make a quality vid
Are you comparing apples with oranges regarding the translation features? I think what you showed for Synthesia is locked up behind Enterprise pricing? It would be great if it is in the Creator plan.
I have a different take on the realism of these AI clones. I think that beginning a video or ending it with an announcement that your personal AI is delivering the content is not only more transparent and honest, but it also allows instant forgiveness for any oddities in the delivery.
Correction: Best is free HeyGen+Synthesia = 72mins a year................then never stop learning to express your own damn best self & keep hitting record! Do either allow to import and mix in real life clips? If not whats the best alternative? Just DeScript and use an integrator platform like zapier, make, n8n to pull in Avatar from Synthesia?
I don't understand why you left out the feature of Unlimited Videos with Heygen. What exactly does it mean? Is it Unlimited 5 min long videos? As for Synthesia you can only create 10 mins of video per month for the starter plan? What?!?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, you can only use a fixed background for your clone avatar (the one you uploaded) and cannot insert your clone avatar into other videos. Is that correct?
I think Heygen needs to improve the features that can be used in their trial version. For me Heygen sounds more robotic and generic AI based on their trial version, the avatar has no feelings, and you will recognize some of the voices available because you heard it already from AI videos in TikTok lol. Synthesia FTW.
The main problem with Synthesia is their pricing structure - very limited video creation and it's very repulsive to lots of users-buyers not to mention to lots of freelancing activities Heygen can provide with a corresponding small amount of money compared to Synthesia. Yes, I observed Synthesia has better product although subtle but they aren't considering the advent of the creator economics these days. If Synthesia has no competition, I'll get it but the subtle difference in quality can't beat the ROI the user-buyer could get from HeyGen even at the expense of "additional subtle works". I prefer Heygen and I subscribed already.
What if I want to record myself, then train them to create my own avatar and after that all I need to do is to give them a text and they would create a video from my script? Can any of these do that?
@leandroreis1978 i didn't quite catch the create unlimited videos when there is a cap of 5mins video. Does the cap apply to each video like you can only generate 5 minutes long?
@@AlexReyes-w1o ... Exactly! In this version you can create unlimited videos, but they only have to be 5 minutes each. It's better than having 360 minutes PER YEAR!
@@AlexReyes-w1o5 minute is export length you can do 5 minutes audio or video exports but unlimited times with the plan, the limit is 5 minutes at once because these tts websites are not optimized to handle big projects the website becomes so laggy if they allow 30-1 hour content exports for everyone
Try Synthesia: get.synthesia.io/aiandy
Try Heygen: heygen.com/?sid=rewardful&via=anders
HeyGen has the knockout blow with the fact that you can make UNLIMITED videos with their plan.
The only issue is it takes 24 hours for their “unlimited” unless you’re on the enterprise plan
@@sarge523wait wait ?? How does it works? It takes 24hr to make a video ?
@@sarge523does it take 24h to make 1 video?

Thank you for this summary! Is there any free or one-time payment clone avatar ? I really mean clone, not a random character.

One key thing here on HeyGen - the instant avatar is literally “instant” (or close to) vs what you mentioned on it being next day
He said that next day for synthesia not heygen

I was looking for it right now! Anyway, Heygen seems better in AI Avatar (clone), but the Synthesia studio is better.
Your genuine nature beats any AI clone hands down ^)

Great fair and balanced comparison!

This comparison between Heygen and Synthesia is incredibly useful for anyone exploring AI avatar software.
Ok ChatGPT.
Super helpful comparison, thanks a lot!
Thabks Andy, was super useful 🎉

Synthesia all the way tbh. :) Never been in hot water on AI safety and ethics, unlike Heygen.
I have a different take on the realism of these AI clones. I think that beginning a video or ending it with an announcement that your personal AI is delivering the content is not only more transparent and honest, but it also allows instant forgiveness for any oddities in the delivery.
compare to both i prefer using my own voice and my clone . which is better for this feature?
PLease compare with new HeyGen’s Avatar 3.0
Very helpful. Thx
Can we do full body on both?

Best to upload a green screen video then you would have to do some editing after I would imagine.

HeyGen uses Synthesia in the background as API, probably HeyGen uses more resources combined
Wow, amazing content
the heygen doesnt blink which is weird

In this video, he asked the AI to write the script and use AI avatar to read it. I assume it's possible to achieve what you want.
For heygen creator, the $24/mo is equivalent to 5mins video only?
but you can make UNLIMITED videos with their plan.

heygen but needs more blinking
Your comparison is 2 weeks old, and Synthesia already changed everything
How??
You can now remove the clothing on the avatars. Only available to over 18s though.
Man's so biased it's crazy lol
Heygen lip syncing by a good margin...
such a biased video you really talk about all the negative points of HeyGen better try it first and then do review.
lip sync in hygen seems better in your video
Lip sync is awful in both. It will get there eventually but currently it just looks terrible. Reminds me of a bad 70s kung fu movie.
8/10 videos i make on heygen are rejected, shitty platform
did they give you feedback, why?
Which one will you choose? ��
