Where the money goes with Synthesia
Synthesia sells AI video through four plans: Basic (free), Starter, Creator and Enterprise (custom pricing). Usage is metered by credits and minutes of video per month, not by unlimited generation. Basic and Starter both include 1,200 credits and 10 minutes of video per month. Creator raises that to 3,600 credits and 30 minutes. Enterprise lists unlimited video minutes.
Basic costs $0 with no credit card required, and it works as the trial: 9 AI avatars and 160+ languages and voices, but no video downloads. The cheapest paid step, Starter, is $29/month billed monthly or $264/year billed annually. It adds video downloads, AI dubbing, removal of the Synthesia logo and 125+ avatars. Creator is $89/month or $804/year and adds API access.
