Synthesia Pricing: Cost per AI Video

Visit Synthesia ↗

Free allowance: Synthesia Basic: 500 credits/month, commercial use: pending.

Costs use monthly billing and full allowance utilization. A plan with no stated length cap is still priced; the note is “length cap not stated by vendor”. A rule with no per-second rate spends its units once per video, for credits, minutes or videos. Requested length above a stated plan or rule maximum cannot be made with that rule. Source-video rules are labeled per minute of source video and are not mixed into the finished-ad ranking. Unlimited plans need a requested volume in the calculator. Annual prices are monthly equivalents; payment may be due upfront. Pending also means no verified plan covers the volume.

Prices from the yearly pricing view, which is what the page rendered. A real click on #tab-monthly does not switch the pane (it stays display:none), so monthly dollar prices were not read from hidden HTML. The 100-credits-per-minute line is still labeled an estimate. The video-edits article states 2 credits per second, and the pricing FAQ still says a typical finished minute is about 100 credits and that creation is billed on avatar footage, not finished length. Those two statements are both recorded and neither is used as the finished-video rate.

Pending: Starter and Pro monthly USD prices. Clicking the visible Monthly tab does not change the rendered page.; One credits-per-minute rule for finished video.

The video-edits article says each second uses 2 credits (120 per minute). Dubbing is stated as 80 per minute with lip-sync and 40 without, which is a different product from video creation, and the estimate widget on the same page says 76.; www.synthesia.io/terms is a glitch page. Customer terms were read from /legal/customer-terms-of-service.; Dubbing is listed at 76 credits per minute in the same estimates block and is not a separate verified rule.
