HeyGen Pricing (2026)

HeyGen costs $29 per month for the Creator plan and $89 per seat per month for the Team plan on monthly billing. Annual billing reduces Creator to approximately $24 per month and Team to approximately $71 per seat per month. The free plan is available with 1 monthly credit at no cost. Using the coupon code AIPRICERADAR when upgrading applies additional savings to the first billing period. For individual creators and small teams producing 5 to 15 videos per month, Creator at $29 per month is the appropriate starting plan. Team pricing becomes relevant when multiple people need independent account access and shared brand resource libraries.

HeyGen Creator at $29 per month includes 15 monthly video credits, access to all 100+ stock AI avatars with diverse representation across genders, ages, and ethnicities, text-to-speech voices in 40+ languages, the Video Translation feature for localizing existing videos, Instant Avatar creation from a 2-minute self-recording, background removal for cleaner avatar composition, basic brand customization with logo and color settings, and standard rendering priority. This plan covers the full core HeyGen capability for individual producers and small teams. The upgrade to Team adds multi-user access, shared asset libraries, and collaboration features needed when multiple team members contribute to video production workflows.

HeyGen does not offer a traditional time-limited free trial with full paid feature access. Instead, the free plan with 1 monthly video credit provides ongoing evaluation capability. The 1-credit monthly free plan lets you generate a real video each month without payment, which is a more useful evaluation than a 14-day trial with no ongoing access. For evaluating Video Translation specifically — which requires uploading an existing video — the free plan's 1 credit can be applied to a translation project to assess quality. After using the free credit, the evaluation is complete and you can decide whether the platform quality and feature set justify upgrading to Creator.

HeyGen's paid plans include commercial use rights that cover YouTube monetization. You can publish HeyGen-generated avatar videos to YouTube, enable ads, and monetize the channel. YouTube's policies regarding AI-generated content evolve — as of 2025, YouTube requires disclosure when content is significantly AI-generated, including AI avatar presenter videos. Proper disclosure using YouTube's AI-generated content label keeps your channel compliant with current policies. Many successful YouTube channels in education, finance, and technology niches use AI avatars for consistent, high-volume content production. The platform-specific terms for AI content disclosure should be reviewed periodically as social media policies continue evolving around AI-generated media.

HeyGen Creator at $29 per month and Synthesia Starter at $18 per month (annual) are the entry paid tier comparison. HeyGen provides 15 credits versus Synthesia's 10, making HeyGen more credit-generous per dollar at the base comparison. HeyGen's free plan with 1 monthly credit provides ongoing access that Synthesia's demo-only free doesn't match. Synthesia is more affordable at the annual plan entry. For features, HeyGen includes Video Translation in Creator while Synthesia's comparable tier does not have equivalent translation capability. Organizations choosing based purely on new video creation often select based on avatar preference and interface comfort; organizations with video translation needs should evaluate HeyGen's translation quality specifically.

HeyGen offers annual billing at approximately 20 percent savings over monthly billing. The Creator plan annually works out to approximately $24 per month paid upfront as a single annual charge. Annual billing is selected from the account upgrade page. For users who have confirmed the platform meets their needs through the free monthly credit, the annual commitment is the most economical path. Monthly billing remains available for users who want maximum flexibility or expect production volume to change significantly.

HeyGen's free plan provides 1 video credit per month. This credit generates one complete AI avatar video of any length. The credit resets monthly on the account anniversary date with no time limit — the free plan continues indefinitely. The 1 monthly credit is useful for ongoing quality evaluation, occasional personal projects, and tracking new feature releases. For production use requiring more than one video monthly, upgrading to Creator at $29 per month with 15 credits is necessary. The ongoing free credit makes HeyGen more accessible than Synthesia's demo-only free evaluation model.

When your monthly credit allocation is exhausted, HeyGen prevents generating additional videos until credits reset or you purchase add-on packs. Additional credit packs are available in the billing dashboard to cover production needs beyond your plan allocation. Credit add-on costs per credit are higher than the effective rate of the base plan — consistently exceeding plan credits suggests the next tier provides better value. Credits do not roll over; unused monthly credits expire at billing cycle end.

The HeyGen Team plan at $89 per seat per month is worth it when multiple people need independent access and shared brand asset management. Each team member gets their own workspace within a shared environment, access to a shared brand kit, and the ability to review each other's video projects. For organizations where a communications member, marketing designer, and training specialist all produce HeyGen videos independently, the Team plan provides proper multi-user structure. Compare total cost against individual Creator subscriptions for your specific team size before assuming Team pricing is more economical.

HeyGen offers annual billing at approximately 20 percent savings over monthly billing. The Creator plan annually works out to approximately $24 per month paid upfront as a single annual charge. Annual billing is selected from the account upgrade page. For users who have confirmed the platform meets their needs through the free monthly credit, the annual commitment is the most economical long-term path. Monthly billing remains available for users expecting production volume to change significantly within the year.

HeyGen's refund policy allows consideration of requests for first-time subscribers who have not extensively used the platform, typically within a limited window after initial purchase. Since the free plan provides 1 monthly credit for ongoing evaluation, refund requests for paid plans are assessed based on whether the platform was adequately tested before upgrading. The safest approach is to use the free monthly credit to thoroughly evaluate the specific avatar and voice quality needed before committing to a paid plan. Technical or billing issues are resolved through the platform's help center support team.

HeyGen's free plan provides 1 monthly video credit indefinitely. You can use HeyGen on a limited basis — one video per month — as long as the platform continues its free plan. For most production use cases, 1 monthly credit is insufficient, but ongoing free access allows regular quality evaluation, occasional personal projects, and maintaining familiarity with platform updates at no cost. For commercial content production at any meaningful volume, upgrading to Creator at $29 per month provides 15 credits per month. The free plan is most valuable as an ongoing evaluation tool and for users with very infrequent video needs who want to stay current with platform quality improvements.

HeyGen is available globally with no geographic restrictions on account creation or platform access. Users in Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and other regions use HeyGen for AI video production. Payment processing supports major international credit cards. Language support covering 40 plus languages makes the platform relevant for content production in diverse markets worldwide.
