HeyGen vs invideo

HeyGen

• Marketers and creators making presenter videos without a camera
• Translating existing videos for audiences in other languages
• Teams producing training content with SCORM export on the Business plan

invideo

• Editors who want AI to do repetitive cuts on their own footage
• Teams editing the same video together in real time
• Making ads and social cuts with generated shots and voiceover

HeyGen

• The Free plan allows up to 3 videos a month of 1 minute each, and the help centre says the quota is 1 to 3 depending on region. Watermark removal and 1080p export start on Creator.
• Paid plans are metered in credits, and the number a video uses varies with the AI model, its duration and its complexity.
• SAML/SSO, SCORM export, LMS integrations and workspace collaboration are listed from Business at $149 a month, plus $20 per extra seat.
• Unused credits roll over for one month on monthly billing and are lost when a subscription is cancelled.

invideo

• The annual prices are shown as 50% off the monthly ones, with no end date given; monthly billing doubles the cost.
• Plan credits reset monthly, even on annual plans, and do not roll over; extra credits last up to 12 months or until the subscription ends.
• Refunds are given only within 7 days and only if nothing was generated or downloaded in that billing period.
• Manual timeline editing and exports do not use credits; generation is billed per model at the provider's list price, so a Veo 3.1 4K clip costs far more than a Kling one.

HeyGen

AI avatars

Scripts are delivered by stock video avatars or a custom avatar of yourself, with lip-sync across more than 175 languages and dialects.

Video Agent

Type an idea and get a finished video with presenter footage, motion graphics and B-roll. Every element stays editable afterwards in AI Studio.

AI Studio editor

A text-based editor that directs words, gestures and emotion from the script, with Brand Kit, auto captions and comments for teams.

Video translation

Upload a file or paste a YouTube link to translate a video with cloned voice and lip-sync. Pro adds editing and proofreading of the translated script.

Voice cloning

Clone your voice so avatar and translated videos keep your tone and delivery. Voice cloning is listed from the Creator plan.

API and integrations

Developer APIs for video generation, translation and lip-sync, an MCP server, and direct integrations with tools such as Canva and Adobe Express.

Editing agent on a real timeline

Describe an edit in plain words and the agent applies it to every shot on a multitrack timeline, from cutting pauses to matching the look; you can take over at any frame.

Searchable footage memory

The editing agent watches and logs every uploaded clip, so a moment can be found by describing it rather than scrubbing.

Agents & Models

Generate video and images with Seedance, Veo, Kling, Sora, Nano Banana, Ideogram and others, plus ElevenLabs voices, music and voice cloning.

Multiplayer editing

Several people edit one project at once with live cursors and comments on the timeline.

Script and storyboard

Write a script with an AI co-writer and turn it into a shot-by-shot plan before generating anything.

Bring your own agent

Connect Claude, ChatGPT Codex or Grok to the editor through invideo's MCP so they trim, grade and mix on your timeline.
