## HeyGen

The free plan allows 3 videos a month. Creator gives 600 credits, videos up to 30 minutes and watermark removal. Pro is $49/month and Business is $149/month plus $20 for each extra seat. Business also raises the video length limit to 60 minutes. The free plan exports up to 1080p, and Pro exports up to 4K.

## Synthesia

Basic is free, with 10 minutes of video and a watermark. Pro is $89/month ($64 billed yearly) and lists 5 personal avatars. Its plans also include training features such as learner seats and roleplay sessions, so check that you pay for what you use.

## Creatify

Free gives 10 credits a month, 300 AI actors and 40 ad templates, with watermarked exports. Pro is $55/month ($44 billed yearly) and lists up to 56 Aurora 15-second avatar videos. Business gives 10 seats and 10 brand spaces.

## Arcads

Arcads describes itself as an AI video ad tool with presets for performance marketers. It lists 1,000+ AI actors, actor swapping, captions and emotion control. It also lists video extension, background removal and camera angle changes. Its homepage shows a free trial but no plan prices.

## How to pick

1. **Make one ad in each.** Use the same script and compare faces, voices and lip movement.
2. **List the languages you sell in.** Check the exact language list for Hindi, Arabic or any other you need.
3. **Check rights.** A custom avatar needs the real person's consent.

Say you want 12 avatar video variations a week, which is 48 a month. Creatify Pro lists up to 56 Aurora 15-second avatar videos for $55. That is about $0.98 per video if every credit goes to those videos.

Write the script before the avatar. Our [UGC script template](/templates/ugc-script-template) works for AI actors too. Test the first three seconds with [hook rate](/glossary/hook-rate). For a view on when to use real creators, read [AI UGC vs human UGC](/compare/ai-ugc-vs-human-ugc). Planning to sell abroad? See the [best AI dubbing tools](/best/best-ai-dubbing-tools).

We make Marxx. Its [production canvas](/features/production-canvas) includes avatars, UGC, voice and dubbing, and publishes finished ads to Meta. It is one place for the whole chain, not a replacement for a dedicated avatar studio if that is all you need.

## FAQ
