The lowest paid price is $24 a month billed yearly on Creator, and there is a Free plan below it. Four facts decide most buying choices.

$0 a month: 3 watermarked videos a month, up to 1 minute each, no credit card needed.
$149 a month plus $20 per seat a month, per HeyGen's own FAQ.
Creator is $348 a year billed monthly and $288 billed yearly, and Pro is $588 and $488 at its entry tier. The full bar is the monthly-billing yearly cost; the hatched part is billed yearly.
A credit costs $0.040 to $0.049, and billing yearly cuts it by about 17%. HeyGen says credits are "HeyGen's single currency for video and asset creation," and that usage varies by model, duration and complexity, so the figure is per credit, not per video.
Credits roll over: "Monthly subscribers' unused credits roll over for one more month," and annual subscribers' credits accumulate until the renewal date. They "do not carry over after cancellation."
Avatar video comes with every plan, and the tiers differ in credits, resolution, length and branding.

Filled dot: the plan includes it. Open dot: it does not. "Not listed" means the plan card does not state it. Source: heygen.com/pricing, October 26, 2026. Pro is described as "Everything in Creator, plus" its extras, and scales to tiers with more credits.
Pick by output quality and volume. The costly mistake is paying for Pro's 4K and 30-minute videos when 1080p and Creator's 600 credits cover your month.
HeyGen is one of several avatar tools. See our HeyGen vs Synthesia comparison, and for voice see the ElevenLabs, Cartesia and murf comparison.
Yes to a free plan, and the page lists no separate trial of paid plans. Free is $0 with "3 videos a month, watermarked" and videos up to 1 minute each.
The FAQ says Free includes "limited trial access to premium features like Avatar IV, Video Agent, and lip-sync translation," so the free plan works as the trial. You can cancel any time, and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing cycle.
HeyGen is worth it when avatar video replaces filming and the credits cost less than a shoot. The free baseline is recording yourself and adding captions with YouTube Studio, and W3C captioning guidance explains what captions need to do.
Paid alternatives include Synthesia and ElevenLabs for voice. Creators monetizing the result should read the YouTube Partner Program overview.
