HeyGen

HeyGen is a web-based AI video generator built around digital avatars. You can pick from a library of stock avatars, generate an avatar from a photo, or record a short clip to create a custom avatar of yourself, then drive it with typed text or your own cloned voice. Its video translation feature dubs an existing video into dozens of languages while adjusting lip movements, which is a distinctive capability compared with script-first competitors.

Marketing teams, course creators, sales teams producing personalized outreach and developers embedding avatars via the API make up much of its user base. HeyGen also offers interactive, real-time avatars for live use cases through its streaming API, and it ships an iOS app for creating videos on the go.

The free plan is limited to a handful of short, watermarked videos per month, and paid plans meter usage by credits or minutes, so heavy translation work can get expensive. Custom avatar quality depends heavily on the footage you supply, and photo-based avatars can show lip-sync artifacts. Multi-user collaboration and SAML SSO are gated to the Business plan, at $149 per month plus $20 for each additional seat, while multi-workspace control and the highest limits require Enterprise.
