Synthesia review

Synthesia focuses on business video, especially training and internal communication, and its pricing page says it is trusted by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies. The free Basic plan gives 10 minutes of Studio video a month with a watermark. Starter costs $14 a month on yearly billing ($19 monthly) and adds downloads, logo removal, the AI Video Assistant and 125+ stock avatars. Pro costs $59 a month yearly ($89 monthly), raises the library to 180+ avatars and adds five Personal Avatars, branded video pages and interactive videos. Every plan lists over 140 languages and voices. Enterprise unlocks unlimited video minutes, 1-Click Translation, all 240+ avatars, SAML/SSO, live collaboration, brand kits and SCORM export. The API includes up to 360 minutes of video a year. The catch is that the controls large L&D teams want sit on a custom-priced Enterprise plan, and premium studio avatars cost extra.

Who it is for

Learning, HR and compliance teams at larger companies that need enterprise controls and many languages.
