Which Synthesia plan should you choose?

Choose by whether you need to download videos, how many minutes you need, and how many people build them.

Which Synthesia plan to choose

  • Choose Basic if you want to try avatar videos, 10 minutes a month is enough, and you do not need to download them.

  • Choose Starter if you need to download your videos, without the Synthesia logo, and 10 minutes a month is enough.

  • Choose Creator if you need up to 30 minutes a month, 5 personal avatars or API access.

  • Choose Enterprise if more than one person builds videos, or your company needs one login for all staff, export to a training platform, or one-click translation.
