Synthesia plan prices
The official pricing page, checked October 5, 2026, lists Basic at $0, Starter at $19/month, Pro at $89/month and Enterprise at a custom price. These are monthly USD prices; annual billing and regional checkout can differ.
| Plan | Monthly listed price | Buyer question |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | Can the free output support your evaluation brief? |
| Starter | $19 | Does the allowance fit a small recurring lesson program? |
| Pro | $89 | Are your production and language needs covered? |
| Enterprise | Quote | Are governance, delivery and procurement requirements contractual? |
Calculate cost per approved lesson
Budget scriptwriting, subject-matter review, generation, translation review and delivery. Even a technically flawless presenter cannot fix an incorrect safety instruction or an outdated onboarding process. The real unit is a lesson learners can use, with the correct version and approval record.
As a hypothetical example, $300 of monthly production and review time divided by ten approved lessons equals $30 per lesson. If each lesson needs three language versions, count those separately only if they are independently reviewed and delivered. Do not assume a translation feature replaces a qualified reviewer for specialized terminology.
Questions for enterprise L&D
- Who writes, edits, approves and publishes each lesson?
- What learner platform and export format does your organization require?
- Must training records, access control or security review meet an internal standard?
- How are updates propagated to every language version?
- What service response, seat and usage terms are included in the quote?
Ask the vendor to demonstrate the complete delivery path using one of your lessons. A marketing demo of a presenter is not proof that the file fits your learning system or that learner completion can be tracked. Verify required features on the exact plan you are buying.
Choosing a Synthesia alternative
Build an alternative shortlist by bottleneck. A presenter platform is relevant when you need a repeatable narrated lesson. A traditional screen recorder can be more useful when the essential evidence is a real interface demonstration. A creator studio can help with promotional shorts or recurring visual identity, but should not be treated as a replacement for enterprise learning administration.
Clout belongs in an evaluation when you need a recognizable AI creator for course promotion, social teasers or short visual examples. Check the enterprise learning video checklist before assuming any generator supplies your curriculum, LMS workflow or compliance record.
Why old price lists cause confusion
A search for “Synthesia pricing 2025” may surface plans that no longer match today's offer. This page describes the checked October 2026 schedule. If you need a historical cost for finance or renewal negotiation, use your invoice or archived contract instead of projecting the current table backward.
Buy only after a representative pilot passes subject accuracy, accessibility, language review and delivery checks. A smaller monthly plan can be enough for evaluation; annual procurement is easier to justify once those dependencies are proven.
