Synthesia Free Plan 2026

Synthesia's 'free plan' is more accurately described as a free trial, you get 3 videos total (one-time), after which you must subscribe to continue creating content. This is significantly more limited than free tiers at other AI video tools.

For comparison:

• Fliki free: 5 minutes/month ongoing
• HeyGen free: 1 minute/month ongoing
• FluxNote free: 1 complete video/month ongoing with no watermark
• Synthesia free: 3 videos ever, then $22/mo minimum

Synthesia's 3-video trial is enough to evaluate quality but not enough to make a workflow decision. After the trial, there's no ongoing free option, you subscribe or stop.

What Synthesia's trial includes:

• Access to the basic avatar library
• 1-2 minute video length limit per video
• Watermarked exports
• Basic templates only
• 1 language
• Single user, no collaboration

What's locked even in trial:

• Custom avatar creation
• Advanced templates
• Full language library (140+ languages, trial is English only in many regions)
• Screen recording integration
• Team access or collaboration
• API or LMS export
• Analytics and embed features

The trial gives you just enough to see what Synthesia's avatar quality looks like. It doesn't give you a real sense of the professional feature set that justifies the $22-67/mo paid plans.

Once your 3 trial videos are used, Synthesia's options are:

Starter: $22/mo (or $264/year)

• 10 videos/month
• 1 custom avatar
• 120+ stock avatars
• 140+ languages
• 1080p
• 1 seat

Creator: $67/mo (or $804/year)

• 30 videos/month
• 3 custom avatars
• Collaboration features
• Analytics
• Priority support
• Video embed and publish tools

Enterprise: Custom

• Volume, SSO, dedicated CSM, API

At $22/mo for 10 videos, Synthesia Starter is the most accessible paid plan. For creators needing more than 10 videos/month, the Creator plan at $67/mo is a steep jump.

Once Synthesia's 3-video trial ends, you're evaluating whether $22/mo for 10 avatar videos is worth it. The comparison:

If Synthesia's trial quality met your needs and you're ready to pay $22/mo, it's a reasonable investment for corporate/training content. If you're uncertain, the trial's limitations make it hard to fully evaluate the tool.
