Official annual-price conflict
The annual pricing cards show Starter at $18/month billed yearly and Creator at $64/month billed yearly. The pricing FAQ says Starter costs $264/year and Creator costs $804/year. The card UI is used for the main annual-equivalent price, and the FAQ totals are retained as an official conflict instead of being silently resolved.

FAQ
Does Synthesia have a permanent free plan?
Yes. The current pricing page shows Basic / Free at $0 with no credit card required, 1,200 credits/month, up to 10 video minutes/month and 25 AI-generated video assets.
How much is Synthesia Starter?
The monthly card shows Starter at $29/month billed monthly. The annual card shows $18/month billed yearly, while the FAQ states $264/year, so compare the annual total again at checkout.
How much is Synthesia Creator?
The monthly card shows Creator at $89/month billed monthly. The annual card shows $64/month billed yearly, while the FAQ states $804/year, so the annual total is stored as an official conflict.
Are Synthesia credits the same as video minutes?
No. The pricing page separates account credits, video or AI Dubbing minutes and AI-generated video assets. Annual pools are also stored separately from monthly refreshes.
Do unused Synthesia video minutes roll over?
The pricing FAQ states unused video minutes do not roll over to the next billing period. That statement is not expanded here to every possible credit field unless the official page says so.
Does Synthesia include API access?
API access is plan-specific. The pricing matrix lists Creator API access up to 360 minutes/year deducted from plan usage and Enterprise 360 minutes/year included with additional paid usage available.
What is Synthesia Studio Avatar pricing?
Studio Avatar is stored separately as a paid add-on listed at $1,000/year. It is not part of the ordinary Starter or Creator monthly subscription price.
What should teams compare before choosing Synthesia?
Compare credit pools, video-minute allowances, AI Dubbing minutes, seat needs, avatar requirements, API access, security controls, export needs and whether a lower-cost video tool covers the same workflow.
Which Synthesia alternatives should I compare?
HeyGen is the closest avatar-video comparison. Runway, Descript and other AI video tools are worth checking when the main job is editing, generative video, dubbing or creative production instead of corporate avatar workflows.
