Description taken from the tool's official website meta description.
Our take
HeyGen is an AI video generator built around avatars, including a personal avatar of your face and voice. The free plan is $0 per month and, when we checked, included 3 videos a month, videos up to 1 minute, and 500+ stock avatars. That free cap is a test, not a content engine.
Best for: you want talking-head videos of yourself or a stock avatar without filming each one.
Pros
- Avatar video is the product, so you can publish without a camera day.
- A personal avatar is explicitly offered if the face of the business is you.
- The free plan's limits are printed, so you can judge it before a paid tier.
Cons
- Three one-minute videos a month will not run a channel.
- You still need a script, and a disclosure, when an avatar stands in for a person.
- Paid creator and business prices should be read on the pricing page. We are not quoting them.
