Synthesia review

Synthesia is the enterprise choice for avatar-led video. You write or paste a script, pick an avatar and a voice, and the platform produces a presenter video, with dubbing, surveys, roleplays and interactive videos on top. The free Basic plan includes 10 minutes of video a month with a watermark, and Starter costs $18 per month billed yearly, or $216 a year, for up to about 150 minutes of video, downloads, logo removal and 125+ avatars. Pro at $64 per month billed yearly adds 5 personal avatars, branded video pages and 180+ avatars, while Enterprise adds SCORM export, SSO and 1-click translation into 140+ languages. Synthesia says it is trusted by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies. It is not a tool for cinematic clips from prompts, so creators after B-roll should look higher up this list. For training and internal video, it is easy to use and easy to defend to IT.
