7 HeyGen Alternative (Free & Lifetime Deal)

Heygen lets you transform text into AI Spokesperson Video using their digital humans. Heygen can also dub videos into another language. Heygen AI adjusts the lip movement as well.

Heygen will cost you a minimum of $1 per minute. At the same time, Creator’s initial subscription will cost you $2 per minute of video.

These are the best Heygen alternatives, some of them are free, while some offer Lifetime deals, and open source as well.

Every product has its own pros and cons. I have listed all of them as well along with the price.

1. Capcut Avatars – Free Heygen Alternative

Capcut recently added AI avatars to transform the text into Spokesperson Videos. Currently, capcut is offering free access to AI avatars. Capcut’s free plan lets you generate unlimited videos.

There are multiple avatars along with multiple text-to-speech voices. It lets you only transform text into videos. Capcut also offers Custom Avatar along with voice clone.

Capcut can’t dub your video into another language like Heygen.

You can’t customize avatars directly however most avatars have multiple angles such as holding the phone, standing, walking, etc. Capcut has more than 100 avatars while writing this blog post. Overall, lip sync is quite accurate.

Capcut provides more editing features than Heygen.

2. Synthesia- Similar to Heygen

Synthesia was the first product to introduce AI avatars way before Heygen. It is very similar to Heygen.

Synthesia recently launched Emotional-based AI avatars. However overall, Heygen is affordable, and provides better lip sync and other features such as voice clone.

Synthesia is offering a voice clone in the enterprise plan, which would cost you more than $89/month While Heygen is offering in the creator plan (starting at $29/month).

Synthesia’s video translation lets you translate videos that you made using AI avatars. It would also translate your text while doing it.

However, you can’t upload your video and translate it into another language like Heygen.

Synthesia announced some features in their 2.0 event that will added later in the videos. For example interactive video editor, Multilingual video player, etc.

However, while writing this blog post, Heygen is a better choice. Synthesia has one advantage over Heygen which is Expressive avatars.

ActorMonster is the fastest and most affordable AI avatar platform. It is offering 300k characters per month in the offers. You can create approx 2 hours of video each month.

Heygen would cost you $238/month for 2 hours of video content. It would cost you approx $2,856 per year to create 2 hours of video every month.

ActorMonster would cost you only $67 for a lifetime and let you create 2 hours of content every month.

ActorMonster is new and is adding features quickly. Once it has all the features, there would be no lifetime deal but it would be always more affordable than Heygen.

A few months ago they launched a lifetime deal on Appsumo.

Vidboard also lets you convert photos into avatars. It also offers better subtitles than Heygen.

Overall, Vidboard is best if you want more minutes and a custom avatar however can’t afford Heygen.

Final Words

AI Spokesperson is new technology that’s why it is pretty expensive.

However, there are platforms like Capcut, and ActorMonster providing this at the lowest price.

On the other hand alternatives like Synthesia, Colossyan, and D-id offer similar services at a higher price.
