Synthesia pricing
Synthesia’s official pricing page, checked Nov 11, 2026, lists Basic at $0 / month, Starter at $19 / month (first month $9; $14 / month at $168 billed yearly), and Pro at $89 / month (first month $49; $59 / month at $708 billed yearly). Enterprise is custom. Credits are the shared currency for usage-based features.
What each self-serve plan includes
From synthesia.io/pricing and Synthesia’s credits help article, both checked Nov 11, 2026:
- Every self-serve plan includes a monthly allowance of 10 minutes of video (creation or dubbing), 3 survey responses, and 500 credits, plus a one-time 60 minutes of Interactive Avatar at sign-up, per the help article.
- Basic ($0): that allowance only. Videos carry a Synthesia watermark. The pricing page also listed “1 Syren video — limited promo.”
- Starter: everything in Basic, plus 1,250 extra credits / month (1,750 total, per the help article), logo removal, 3 guests, 125+ AI avatars, and AI Video Assistant / survey analytics on the yearly card.
- Pro: 6,000 extra credits / month (6,500 total, per the help article). The page also lists Pro 2× through 8× plans that scale extra credits from 12,000 to 48,000 a month; those dollar prices were not printed as a single table on the public page, so they are not invented here. The monthly card lists 5 personal avatars and 180+ AI avatars. A Studio Express-1 avatar is a paid add-on at $1,000 / year for annual plan users only.
- Enterprise: custom pricing. The page markets unlimited videos, personalized onboarding, and SOC 2 and GDPR compliance. Those are Synthesia’s claims, not figures we independently audited.
How credits are used, as printed
Synthesia’s pricing FAQ, checked Nov 11, 2026, says credits are used when something is generated, never while you are editing or previewing, and:
- A typical finished minute of video uses about 100 credits, more if the avatar is on screen throughout. Only new footage is counted.
- Dubbing is 80 credits per minute with lip-sync, 40 without. The 10 included minutes can be used for dubbing or video creation.
- Surveys cost 350 credits per response after the 3 included responses. Building and publishing a survey is free.
- Syren, Synthesia’s AI video agent, “typically uses 1,000–2000 credits” for a 1-minute video; “actual usage may vary.”
- Unused monthly allowance and credits reset each billing period. On annual plans, the year’s credits are available upfront. Credits you buy separately are valid for 12 months. You cannot pay per video; billing is monthly or annual.
