Synthesia free plan
Yes. Synthesia’s official Basic plan is $0 per month. On Nov 11, 2026 the pricing page listed 500 credits / month, 10 minutes of Studio video creation or dubbing, 3 survey responses, and a watermark on videos. The FAQ asks “Can I use Synthesia for free?” and answers that Basic “includes allowances for limited video creation, dubbing and survey responses.”
What is and is not included
- The credits help article says every self-serve plan, including Basic, gets the same 10 minutes, 3 survey responses and 500 credits, plus a one-time 60 minutes of Interactive Avatar at sign-up.
- The pricing page also listed “1 Syren video — limited promo” on Basic when we checked. That is a promo line, not a permanent allowance we can promise will still be there tomorrow.
- Paid Starter is the official way to remove the Synthesia logo, add 1,250 credits, and unlock 125+ avatars and 3 guest seats.
- Unused minutes and credits reset each billing period. You cannot pay per video.
If you are comparing free tiers, HeyGen Free is $0 for 3 one-minute watermarked videos, and Colossyan Starter is a free plan with 20 NEO minutes and a watermark. Those are different caps, not interchangeable “free minutes.”
Synthesia is the vendor on this site with an approved affiliate link (25% of payments for 12 months). The prices below are still the official list prices.
