Synthesia pricing
Pricing score: 62/10Synthesia charges per editor with a pooled credit allowance: a free 10-minutes-a-month plan, then $29-$89 tiers. Buyers misjudge the minutes - 120 minutes a year on Starter sounds ample until one training series eats it, and adding editors means Enterprise.

Hidden costs to watch for
- The headline $18 and $64 monthly prices require paying a full year upfront ($216 / $768); month-to-month is $29 and $89 - a 38% premium on Starter.
- Personal avatars cost $1,000/year each (Studio Express-1) and are only available to annual subscribers, so the avatar quietly locks you into yearly billing too.
- Credits are a shared currency across all AI usage-based features - dubbing and other AI features draw from the same pool as video minutes, so your '10 minutes' shrinks if you use anything else.
- Both paid self-serve tiers include just 1 editor; a second person who actually edits videos pushes you towards Enterprise, where pricing is unpublished.
- 1-click translation into 80+ languages - a headline Synthesia capability - is Enterprise-only; Starter and Creator users localise manually.
- Free-plan videos carry Synthesia branding; logo removal is a paid feature.
Negotiation tips
Which tier is right for you?
Solo founder
→ Starter (annual)
$216/year buys 120 pooled minutes, 125+ avatars and downloads without branding - enough for a steady stream of short product and social videos at the lowest defensible cost.
Small team (5-15)
→ Creator (annual)
360 pooled minutes, API access and 5 personal avatars cover a real content calendar; guests can review without extra editor fees. Budget the single-editor bottleneck honestly.
Scaling company
→ Enterprise
Unlimited minutes, SSO, multiple editors and 1-click translation into 80+ languages only exist here - and it's the only tier where the price is actually negotiable.
FAQ
Yes. The Basic plan is $0 with no credit card, giving 1,200 credits a month (up to 10 minutes of video), 1 editor and 9 avatars. Videos carry Synthesia branding.
Annual saves 38% on Starter ($18 vs $29/month) and 28% on Creator ($64 vs $89/month), and pools your minutes across the year (120 or 360) instead of a use-it-or-lose-it monthly allowance. If you'll use it more than about 8 months, annual wins.
No public coupon codes exist. The two real discounts are the annual billing rates (28-38% off) and Enterprise negotiation, where volume and competitor quotes can move the price.
Free: about 10 minutes/month. Starter: 10 minutes/month billed monthly, or 120 minutes pooled per year on annual. Creator: 30 minutes/month, or 360/year on annual. Only Enterprise is unlimited.
$1,000 per year for a Studio Express-1 personal avatar, and it's only available to annual subscribers. Creator includes 5 personal avatars; Enterprise includes unlimited.
Starter and Creator include a single editor seat (plus 3 or 5 guests, who can collaborate but are not full editors). Multiple editors is effectively an Enterprise conversation.
A shared currency spent across all AI usage-based features - video generation, dubbing and other AI tools draw from the same pool, so heavy dubbing use reduces your available video minutes.
Free-plan output carries Synthesia branding - logo removal is listed as a paid-plan feature. Paid tiers export in Full HD (1920x1080).
