| Pricing | $29/mo Creator (600 credits/month), or $24/mo billed annually · free tier: $0 — 3 videos per month (help centre notes 1–3 depending on region), 1-minute maximum, 720p share link, 1 Custom Digital Twin, 500+ stock avatars, 30+ languages, 3 Video Agent videos/month | Not published · free tier: None verifiable — no free tier confirmed on any vendor page; reviewers report a hard paywall before testing.

| Pricing model | Credit-based subscription (monthly or annual), with a free video quota tier | Subscription with expiring credits (Standard and Customized offers per Terms) |
| Best for | Teams that already have a winning ad script and need it produced in 20 markets, B2B and SaaS video programmes, and any buyer whose procurement requires SSO, SCIM and audit logging at a published price. | High-volume performance marketing teams and agencies testing many direct-to-camera script variations per week on TikTok, Meta and Shorts, with enough throughput to burn credits every cycle, an external editor for finishing, and the discipline to diarise the 72-hour cancellation window. |
| Avoid if | Avoid HeyGen if your entire bet is creative that looks like an unpolished phone video shot by a real customer, or if you need high-volume hook testing that lands directly in a Meta or TikTok ad account — Arcads and Creatify are shaped for those jobs. | You need to trial before paying, buy at low or irregular volume, require a published rate card for procurement sign-off, need precise scene control or physical product demonstration, work in non-English workflows, or require a G2-style verified-buyer dataset before purchase. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
