Editors' review

Enterprise avatar video — the compliance story is the product

Synthesia is aimed squarely at organisations. Internal training, product manuals and compliance education are the common use cases, and adoption is concentrated in large companies.

Pricing starts at $22/mo with Enterprise plans above. SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, support for more than 170 languages, and brand-compliant template management are the features that matter at that scale.

For an individual or a small creative team, HeyGen is friendlier. Synthesia assumes you are standardising a whole organisation on it.

Verdict

The first choice as a training and knowledge-video platform at a large company. Individuals and startups will move faster with HeyGen.
