MakeAIVideo vs Synthesia

Synthesia is built for enterprise training and localisation. MakeAIVideo is built for shipping marketing and social video quickly, from $9 a month.

Synthesia pricing below was read from their own pricing page on 2026-09-13. Prices move; check before you buy.

What Synthesia is

An enterprise AI video platform built around stock and personal avatars, aimed at training, internal comms and localisation.

What MakeAIVideo is

A prompt-to-finished-video pipeline. One render produces the script, voiceover, generated scenes, captions, music and a platform-native export, rather than one component you then have to assemble.

Where Synthesia beats us

Worth reading first. If one of these is your requirement, buy Synthesia and stop reading.

  • Localisation at enterprise scale. One-click translation into 80+ languages on their top tier is genuinely hard to match.
  • 160+ languages and voices against our 24.
  • Compliance and procurement posture. If your buyer needs SSO, SOC 2 and a signed MSA, they are built for that conversation and we are not.
  • Avatar library depth: 240+ stock avatars at the top tier.

Where MakeAIVideo beats Synthesia

  • Price at the entry point. Their Creator tier is $89 a month, or $64 billed yearly; our top plan is $49 a month, and our entry plan is $9.
  • You can download from the first render. Synthesia's free tier will not let you export the video at all, and our 7-day trial does.
  • Generated scenes rather than an avatar on a background, so the output suits social and marketing rather than corporate training.
  • No annual commitment to reach the usable tier, and a 7-day free trial on every plan with $0 due today.

Pick MakeAIVideo if

you want a finished video out of one render rather than a component to assemble, and you would rather buy credits once than carry another monthly subscription.
