What we checked on HeyGen
Cost for 2 hours a month
The cheapest plan that permits commercial publishing, Creator at $29 a month, includes up to ten hours of text to speech, so two finished hours sit well inside the allowance.
HeyGen Voice, with up to 10 hours of text to speech
heygen.com/pricingChecked
Cost for 10 hours a month (heavy use)
Ten hours a month is sold and lands exactly at the Creator ceiling of ten hours; Pro at $49 raises it to sixteen hours or more of text to speech.
HeyGen Voice, with 16+ hours of text to speech
heygen.com/pricingChecked
Cost to dub 60 minutes a month
Dubbing is sold out of the same credit balance on every paid plan, at a published rate per minute of source video: 4 credits a minute for audio only without lip sync, 6 for the Speed engine with lip sync and 10 for Precision, so the cheapest plan you may publish from is Creator at $29 a month with 600 credits, which the vendor equates to 100 minutes on the Speed engine.
Audio Only: 4 credits/minute Speed: 6 credits/minute Precision: 10 credits/minute
Promotion and regular price
none. The price shown first is the plain month-to-month rate: each plan card opens with its Monthly control selected at $29, $49 and $149, and only switching the card's own control to Yearly drops Creator to $24 a month billed as $288 for the year, advertised as two months free rather than as an introductory discount.
For solo creators, the Creator plan costs $29/month (or $24/month if you pay annually).

What the price counts
Credits are the single currency across features: Creator 600 a month, Pro from 1,000 up to 100,000, Business 1,500, while in-app text to speech is instead capped in hours per plan.
Credits are HeyGen's single currency for video and asset creation. Every paid plan includes a monthly credit allocation

Voices that use more
The newer engines burn the allowance far faster, 48 credits a minute for Avatar V against 4 for an Avatar III video look, and Precision dubbing costs 10 a minute against Speed's 6; no per-voice rate difference is published.
Avatar V Photo Look: 48 credits per minute
Past your allowance
Only the team plan can buy extra credits: Business tops up in blocks of 100 credits for $5, which is 5 cents a credit, with optional auto-reload, while Creator and Pro cannot buy packs at all and must move up a plan or a credit tier when the month's allowance is gone.
Additional Business credits cost $0.05 per credit and are purchased in blocks of 100 credits for $5.
Unused credits
Unused monthly credits carry into one further cycle, roughly 60 days in all, and annual subscribers accumulate theirs until renewal; everything unused is lost if you drop to Free.
Unused monthly plan credits roll over for one additional billing cycle, as long as the user stays on a paid plan.
Commercial use
From the cheapest paid plan upward you own what you generate and may publish it commercially: the terms give Creator, Pro and Business users all rights in their output for their own purposes including commercial ones, while the Free plan's separate clause restricts output to personal, non-commercial evaluation.
As between HeyGen and you, you own all rights in your User Input or User Output, and does not restrict your ability to use User Output for your own…

Re-voice your recording
You can record a line yourself and get it back in another voice with your own performance preserved: the vendor says the output keeps your emotion, emphasis, cadence, timing and pacing and runs the same length as your recording, available in the app, as Voice Mirroring inside Studio, and through the API.
Record the line the way you want it said and HeyGen Voice returns it in a higher-quality voice, yours or another, keeping your emotion, emphasis,…
Emotion, pace and emphasis
An Expressiveness Boost slider, four similarity modes and Voice Director or Direct Voice styles shape the read, and the vendor says speaking speed, emphasis and emotional tone are adjustable before generating.

Pronunciation fixes
Brand Glossary holds pronunciation and translation of named terms steady across a whole project with forced translations and protected terms; it is off on Free and starts on Creator.
Brand Glossary: Maintain consistent pronunciation and translation of key terms (brand names, product names).
Long scripts and chapters
Scripts run as multi-scene projects with per-scene voices and per-line re-renders, and a seed holds delivery steady across fifty takes or a 40-minute lesson; single videos reach 30 minutes on Creator and Pro.
Set a seed and the same line renders the same way across fifty takes or a 40-minute lesson.
Several speakers
Each avatar in a project keeps its own voice and engine independently, and the podcast tool generates two-host episodes where the system splits dialogue and handles turn-taking.
Generate dynamic two-host conversational episodes where each speaker has a distinct voice, pacing, and personality.
Audio you get
You can download just the audio or the captions SRT beside the video, and MP3 or MP4 from the podcast and cloning flows; audio-only export of a translation is Enterprise-only, and no bitrate is published for app exports.
This is also where you can download just the audio of your video or download the captions SRT file.
Instant cloning
A short upload of up to 60 seconds produces an instant clone ready in minutes, and the Free plan already allows one voice clone before any payment.

Professional cloning
A higher-fidelity clone exists but costs extra on top of a paid plan: the Professional Voice Clone trains on 30 minutes to two hours of your recordings and is sold as an add-on from $29 a month, or $288 a year, for each voice, where the instant clone from a 60-second sample is included.
Professional Voice Cloning needs a paid plan plus the PVC add-on, at $29 a month or $288 a year per voice, and paid plans also add more languages and…
Consent of the voice’s owner
The vendor states it verifies that you own the voice before training, requires written consent for a third-party voice, and blocks cloning that lacks verified permission.

Your voice trains their models
Non-enterprise customer data may be used to train HeyGen's models with an opt-out published in the privacy policy, enterprise data is excluded, and the vendor says voice data never trains shared AI voices.

Lip sync
Lip sync is applied by the engine you pick: Speed and Precision both move the mouth to the translated speech, while Audio Only turns it off for footage with no face.

Editing the translation

Team seats

API
A documented public v3 REST API covers video creation, templates, voice cloning, translation and batching, authenticated with a key header against api.heygen.com, with its own playground and pricing.
Base URL https://api.heygen.com · Auth header X-Api-Key: <your-key>
API price
The voice model page publishes a public rate for programmatic speech: $30 per million characters for text to speech, $15 per million characters on the faster Turbo variant, and $0.12 for each minute of re-voiced audio, billed per second, with no package or minimum. The help center only says credits are bought in dollars without printing a rate.
Text to speech in any of your voices, and speech to speech at $0.12 per minute. One REST request, no packages, no minimums.
Publishes to YouTube
AI Clipping can send a finished clip straight to YouTube, and a YouTube URL can be pasted in as the source for translation; nothing we read offers a dubbed second audio track on an existing YouTube video.

What the free plan leaves on your audio
The free plan's three videos a month carry a HeyGen watermark, and the comparison table confirms watermark removal is withheld until Creator; the terms add that free output may not be monetized at all, so the watermark is not the only thing stopping commercial use.
