HeyGen pricing, as checked on October 7, 2026, starts at $0 with the Free plan: 1 to 3 videos a month, up to one minute each. Creator, at $29 a month, removes the watermark. Pro starts at $49; Business, at $149, adds SCORM export. Paid plans come with credits, used up per minute of video.
What does HeyGen's free plan include?
On HeyGen's pricing page, the Free plan gives you 3 videos a month. Its help center adds that it's 1 to 3, depending on your region. Each video lasts one minute at most and is shared by link, in 720p. The plan needs no credits and no credit card. It also includes 1 custom video avatar of yourself, and 500+ library avatars.
According to these two pages, watermark removal starts with Creator, and SCORM export with Business. For a training course, Free is therefore a way to test a script, a voice and an avatar.
What does HeyGen cost, plan by plan?
The price of a HeyGen subscription depends on the plan and on billing, monthly or annual. From Creator to Business, each plan includes everything in the one before it.
Creator.
- Price: $29 a month billed monthly, $24 a month billed annually.
- Volume: 600 credits a month.
- Delivery: 1080p export and watermark removal, with no SCORM export or LMS integration.
Pro.
- Price: from $49 a month billed monthly.
- Volume: 1,000 credits a month on the first tier; the top tier gives 100,000, for $4,300.
- Delivery: same as Creator, plus 4K export.
Business.
- Price: $149 a month billed monthly for one seat, plus $20 a month for each additional seat.
- Volume: 1,500 credits a month, shared among members: an extra seat adds none. Extra credits cost $5 per 100.
- Delivery: same as Pro, plus SCORM export, LMS integrations and interactive videos with quizzes.
A video can last up to 30 minutes on Creator and Pro, and up to 60 on Business. Enterprise pricing is quote-based, with no maximum video length.

How many minutes of video do the credits buy?
One minute of avatar video uses 4 to 48 credits, depending on the model and the look, according to HeyGen's help article on credits. Its help center explains elsewhere that a video look comes from filmed video, and a photo look from a photo or from AI.
- Avatar III: 4 credits per minute with a video look, 7 with a photo look.
- Avatar IV: 31 credits per minute with a video look, 16 with a photo look.
- Avatar V: 48 credits per minute, either way.
With Avatar IV and a video look, Creator therefore gives you about 19 minutes of video a month, Pro about 32 on the first tier, and Business about 48.
On monthly billing, unused credits stay valid for one more month. On annual billing, they also arrive every month, but you can use them throughout the subscription year. If you cancel, you lose them at the end of the period.
Which plan fits your training course, and at what cost?
Start from your course outline. If it isn't set yet, see our step-by-step tutorial for creating a training course.
- Count your minutes: number of modules, times the number of videos per module, times their length.
- Convert them to credits: minutes per month, times the credits per minute for your model and look, plus a margin for revisions.
- Choose how you'll deliver: a share link with Free, an exported video with Creator or Pro, a SCORM package with Business.
Take a fictional training provider that plans 8 modules of 4 three-minute videos: 96 minutes over the year, or 8 a month. It uses its trainer's avatar, with a video look, on Avatar IV. Free won't do: its videos last one minute at most. The provider needs about 250 credits a month. Creator covers that for $288 a year billed annually, or $36 per module.
If its LMS requires a SCORM package, it needs Business: $1,788 a year for one seat billed monthly, or about $224 per module. For this catalog, SCORM decides the plan more than volume does.
According to HeyGen's help article on SCORM, the package downloads as a ZIP file, in SCORM 1.2 or 2004. You set a percentage of the video to watch for completion. If you're also considering Synthesia, the article on its pricing and the limits of its free plan uses the same example.
Before you subscribe: three checks
- Ask your LMS administrator whether it accepts a video file or requires a SCORM package: the answer tells you whether you need Business.
- Look at the credit cost before you generate, when HeyGen shows it: according to its help center, that's the amount it will deduct.
- Check HeyGen AI pricing when you pay: the currency and taxes shown, monthly or annual billing, and the number of seats.
Complement addresses a different need: dialogue. Its conversational AI avatar presents the course, answers questions, quizzes the learner and comments on their answers out loud. Its answers can be limited to your sources (RAG mode). You don't get a video file, and the module can't be exported to SCORM or any other format. It's shared by link or, priced on request, in an LMS that supports LTI 1.3. Its avatars speak French or English.
