## What HeyGen offers

HeyGen is an avatar video maker, not a timeline editor. It lists Avatar IV and V, talking photos, voice cloning and a Video Agent. It translates video into 175+ languages, keeps the speaker's voice and adds lip sync. Hindi (India) is on its translation list.

Free is 3 videos a month, up to 1 minute each, with a watermark. Creator is $29 a month ($24 billed yearly) with 600 credits, no watermark and up to 1080p. Pro is $49 a month and goes up to 4K. Business is $149 a month plus $20 a seat. The India page shows dollars, not rupees (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## Synthesia

Made for business video such as training, sales and marketing. It lists stock avatars, personal avatars and dubbing in 70+ languages with optional lip sync. Basic is free with a Synthesia watermark. Its pricing page does not name Hindi.

## Captions

Captions (by Mirage) lists AI avatars and digital twins, Chat to Edit, Lipdub and captions in Hindi and Hinglish. Its help centre also lists Hindi for translation and dubbing.

## Creatify

An ad generator that makes video ads from a product link, with 300 AI actors on Free and Standard. Free exports carry a watermark. Its pages disagree on whether it supports 29 or 75+ languages.

## invideo

Written in lower case by the brand. Text to video with models such as Veo 3.1 and Kling AI, plus an AI avatar generator and chat editing. The pricing page lists no free plan.

## VEED

A browser editor with AI avatars, AI dubbing and a video translator. Creator removes the watermark and exports Full HD. Pro adds translation into 50+ languages.

## Marxx

We make Marxx. If you already have footage, [Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) has a Generate tab for voiceover, lip sync, dubbing and changing the voice. These use credits, and lip sync and dubbing start on Match. Cut, Match and Master cost $9, $29 and $69 a month at launch prices (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## Worked example: a dubbed ad

Say you dub a 2-minute ad with lip sync. Synthesia's pricing FAQ says dubbing costs 80 credits a minute with lip sync and 40 without.

- With lip sync: 2 x 80 = 160 credits.
- Without lip sync: 2 x 40 = 80 credits.
- Basic has 500 credits a month, so it covers 3 lip-synced ads (3 x 160 = 480).
- Starter has 1,250 credits a month on monthly billing, so it covers 7 (7 x 160 = 1,120).

Check HeyGen's credit cost on its own page. Prices checked 3 Nov 2026.

## How to choose

1. Pick the job: a talking avatar, a dub of your footage, or an ad made from a product link.
2. Check your language. HeyGen lists Hindi (India) for translation.
3. Make one 30-second test in each free plan and look for a watermark.
