Synthesia vs VEED

Synthesia

• Training and L&D teams producing videos without filming
• Localizing existing videos into many languages
• Turning slide decks and documents into narrated videos

VEED

• Marketers and creators making short social videos in a browser
• Adding styled subtitles and translations to existing footage
• Teams that want AI-generated talking-head or faceless videos

Synthesia

• Basic videos carry a Synthesia watermark; downloading videos and removing the logo start on the Starter plan.
• Usage is metered in credits: video costs about 100 credits a minute, so Starter's 1,250 monthly credits add roughly 12 minutes.
• Self-serve plans include 1 editor; Starter adds 3 guests and Pro 5, and guests are invited to comment on videos.
• SAML/SSO, live team collaboration, SCORM export and 1-click translation are listed under the Enterprise plan.

VEED

• Free exports are limited to 720p and carry a VEED watermark that cannot be moved or removed.
• Web plans are billed per seat, so the plan price is multiplied by the number of editors in the workspace.
• AI credits refresh when the subscription renews and unused credits do not carry over.
• The pricing page shows local-currency prices; the dollar prices here come from the US App Store listing and web checkout prices may differ.

Synthesia

AI avatars

Videos are presented by stock AI avatars, from 9 on Basic to 240+ on Enterprise, or by a personal avatar created from a single photo.

Script, file or slides to video

The AI Video Assistant turns a prompt, link or file into an editable video, and PowerPoint decks can be imported and narrated.

AI dubbing and translation

Dub an uploaded video or YouTube link into 70+ languages, 140+ on Enterprise, keeping the speaker's voice. Lip-sync uses twice the credits.

Interactive videos

Add clickable calls to action, branching paths and quizzes that show viewers a final score. Interactive videos are listed from the Pro plan.

Roleplay and Survey Sessions

Avatar-led roleplay practice and conversational surveys. Roleplay learner seats can be added to any plan at $29 per learner a month, or $25 a month on yearly billing.

AI Screen Recorder and API

A Chrome extension makes editable screen recordings, and the Synthesia API creates and dubs videos programmatically.

VEED

AI video generation

Type an idea and get a draft video as a talking character or a faceless format, using models such as VEED Fabric and Google Veo. Each generation spends AI credits from the plan.

Browser video editor

Trim, crop and arrange clips on a timeline, add text and music, or cut footage by deleting words from the transcript. It runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox without a download.

Subtitles and translation

Auto-generated subtitles with animated styles. Paid plans include unlimited subtitles under a 50-hour monthly fair-use limit, while translation minutes count against the plan's allowance.

AI voices, avatars and dubbing

Text-to-speech, voice cloning, AI dubbing and AI characters for talking-head videos. AI voice time is capped by plan.

Screen and webcam recorder

Record a browser tab, a window or the whole screen with webcam and microphone in a chosen layout, then open the recording in the editor.

Brand kits and templates

Store brand fonts, colors, logos and watermarks for reuse across projects. Multiple brand kits start on Pro and custom templates on Studio.
