What is Synthesia used for?

Synthesia creates presenter-led AI videos for training, onboarding, explanations, and business communications using scripts, avatars, voices, and media.

Basic is $0 per month. Under the October 2026 plan update, it includes ten monthly minutes of video creation or dubbing and 500 credits, but video downloads are not included.

How much do paid Synthesia plans cost?

The public monthly USD prices checked October 9, 2026 are $29 for Starter and $89 for Pro. Enterprise pricing is custom; region, tax, billing cycle, and add-ons can affect the total.

What happened to the Creator plan?

Synthesia renamed Creator to Pro on October 1, 2026. The update kept its price and features while changing included allowances.

Are credits the same as video minutes?

No. Included video minutes and credits are separate. Credits are shared across usage-based features; typical video creation uses about 100 credits per finished minute, with actual use depending on content.

Can I edit a Synthesia video?

You can revise the project script, scenes, and assets and generate a new version. Regeneration may consume additional credits.

Can I download an interactive video as MP4?

Videos containing interactive buttons or branching cannot retain that functionality in MP4. Use a supported hosted or learning-platform route, or create a linear version.

Do all avatars work with the video API?

No. The current avatar guide limits compatibility to Express-1-based options, including Express-1 stock, Legacy stock, and Custom Studio avatars.
