Every figure on this page was checked against Synthesia’s own pricing page on 2026-09-10, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is.

What each upgrade actually costs
Tier lists tend to hide the only number that matters when you are choosing: the difference between the plan you are on and the next one up, over a year.
Starter → Creator costs $46 more a month, or $552 a year. What you get for it: 180+ avatars, 5 personal, multi-avatar scenes, API
What the headline price leaves out
Not for trust/emotion-driven marketing or ads; watch credit burn. The limit that usually forces an upgrade: Credit cap with no rollover; custom avatars pricey.

Which plan is right for you
The paid tiers are worth it for L&D/HR training and onboarding teams; Global orgs needing the same content in 10+ languages. For those uses the plan pays for itself in time saved rather than features unlocked.
It is a poor fit for persuasion-based sales, ads, or customer-facing marketing needing authentic emotion. Paying for a tier whose headline feature you will not use is the most common way software budgets leak.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
