Synthesia Pricing 2026: Free, Starter $29, Creator $89 Plans

Free plan

3 minutes of video per month, limited avatar selection, Synthesia watermark, no custom avatar creation. Enough for testing but not production use.

Starter ($29/month monthly, $22/month annually)

10 minutes of video per month, 90+ standard avatars, 120+ languages, AI script assistant, PowerPoint import, and no watermark. This is Synthesia's entry-level paid tier.

Creator ($67/month monthly, $53/month annually)

30 minutes of video per month, custom AI avatar creation (built from your own video recording), 1 custom brand avatar, advanced brand customization, and priority support.

Enterprise (custom pricing)

Unlimited video, dedicated avatars, API access, SSO, compliance features (SOC 2, GDPR), and SLA. Targeted at large organizations with heavy training and compliance content needs.

The defining limitation

Synthesia's video output is measured in minutes per month, not number of videos. 10 minutes on Starter means 10 one-minute Shorts, or 2 five-minute explainers, or 1 ten-minute training module. High-volume creators run into this ceiling quickly.

Synthesia's core strength

is its avatar quality and language coverage. With 90+ pre-built avatars and support for 120+ languages, it's the most comprehensive platform for multilingual AI presenter videos. For enterprises with global teams, the ability to generate a training video in 10 languages from a single English script is a massive time-saver.

Script-to-avatar pipeline

You type or paste a script, select an avatar and language, choose a background or template, and Synthesia renders the video. The pipeline is clean and requires no editing experience.

PowerPoint import

(available on all paid plans) converts existing slide decks into AI avatar videos — particularly useful for training teams converting legacy content.

Custom avatar creation

(Creator and above) allows you to record a 15-minute video of yourself and have Synthesia build a realistic AI avatar of your likeness. The resulting avatar lip-syncs to any script in your voice. This is Synthesia's premium differentiator over competitors.

What Synthesia lacks

Synthesia does not generate stock footage videos, has no faceless content pipeline, and cannot create videos without an avatar presenter. It also lacks animated caption styles, short-form content templates, and the production speed required for daily social media posting.

Per-minute pricing is expensive at scale.

At $22/month for 10 minutes of video (annual Starter), that's $2.20 per minute of output. For daily Shorts (30 videos/month averaging 90 seconds each = 45 minutes of video), Synthesia would cost hundreds of dollars per month — far beyond what most social media creators can justify.

Creator avatar creation is a one-time major effort.

Building a custom avatar requires recording a 15-minute scripted video in a controlled environment, uploading it, and waiting for Synthesia to process it (typically 24–72 hours). This is a significant investment in time and setup for solo creators.

No stock footage integration.

Synthesia backgrounds are static or pre-built templates. There is no integration with stock footage libraries for dynamic B-roll. Videos look like they were produced with Synthesia unless you do significant post-production in another editor.

Watermark on free videos.

The free plan includes a Synthesia watermark that is prominent and centered on the video.

Annual billing for best rates.

The $22/month Starter price requires a full year commitment upfront. Monthly billing is $29/month — 32% higher.

Volume Comparison

With FluxNote Pro, you get 50 complete AI videos for just $19.99/month, outpacing Synthesia's Starter plan at a fraction of the cost. If your videos average 60 seconds each, that's 50 minutes of content for less money, making FluxNote the clear choice for short-form content creators.

Workflows Made Easy

While Synthesia is geared towards corporate and training contexts, FluxNote is designed for faceless short-form AI content, streamlining workflows for creators who need fast, efficient content production.
