Synthesia Pricing 2026
Every Synthesia plan, what each limit actually means, and what you pay in practice. Read from the official pricing page on September 3, 2026; prices change, so the source is linked.
Synthesia pricing starts with a free Basic plan of 1,200 credits per month (about 10 minutes of video and 9 avatars), then Starter at $29 per month or $18 per month billed annually for the same 10 minutes with 125+ avatars, Creator at $89 per month or $64 annually for about 30 minutes with API access, and Enterprise custom with unlimited minutes.
Minutes are the unit that matters: $29 buys roughly 10 minutes of finished video, credits do not roll over, and every small edit needs a full re-render, which is why reviewers call it expensive relative to output.

What the price does not tell you
- Avatars and lip-sync are widely described as uncanny, with mouth movements that do not always match the audio. (G2 reviews)
- Rendering is slow, around 30 minutes for a 15-minute video, and small edits require a full re-render. (G2 reviews)
- Credits do not roll over, and $29 for roughly 10 minutes of video is called overpriced by several users. (Trustpilot)
- Content moderation is strict and sometimes inconsistent, blocking videos nearly identical to ones previously approved. (Trustpilot)
- In-platform editing lacks timeline control and transitions, and voices sound robotic on longer narration. (Capterra)

Then it does the part Synthesia was never designed for: native publishing to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts on a schedule, and signups and sales attributed to each post.
