aivideoSynthesia is the most expensive tool in our database — and also the highest-rated (9.2/10). Here’s the full pricing, tier by tier, with what you actually get.
How much does Synthesia cost?
Synthesia starts at $29/mo on Starter (or $18/mo billed annually) and tops out at $89/mo on Creator (or $64/mo annual). There’s a free tier, and Enterprise is custom-priced.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — |
| Starter | $29 | $18 |
| Creator | $89 | $64 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom |
The annual discount is meaningful — paying yearly cuts the Starter plan to $18/mo and Creator to $64/mo.
What you get
Across paid tiers, Synthesia delivers its core strength: 240 realistic avatars and 160+ languages with lip-sync, at 1080p, watermark-free. It also has an API and PowerPoint/LMS integrations — which is why it dominates corporate training.
- Free tier: lets you test the avatar quality before paying
- Starter ($29): entry point for basic avatar videos
- Creator ($89): where the full feature set lives
- Enterprise: custom pricing, no published figure
The catch
Synthesia’s weaknesses are price and editing depth. The cons we record are “expensive” and “limited editing” — it’s for generating avatar videos, not for complex edits.
Is it worth the price?
Short answer: for teams that need realistic avatars and 160+ languages at scale, yes. For solo creators on a budget, usually not. We break down exactly who should buy — and who shouldn’t — in our full is Synthesia worth it guide, with cheaper alternatives like Colossyan and HeyGen.
