Cost Per Minute of Video
| Plan | Monthly Cost | Minutes | Cost/Minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $22 | 10 | $2.20 |
| Creator | $67 | 30 | $2.23 |
The per-minute cost is consistent. The Creator plan's advantage is more minutes, more avatars, and brand customization — not a better rate.
Annual Discount
Synthesia offers roughly 20% off with annual billing:
- Starter: ~$18/month (billed annually)
- Creator: ~$54/month (billed annually)
For committed creators, annual billing saves $48–$156 per year.
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Starter ($22/month) — Best for testing the platform and producing a few videos per month. 10 minutes covers 2–3 short videos. Good for individual creators starting a YouTube channel or testing course content.
Creator ($67/month) — Best for active content creators and freelancers offering video production services. 30 minutes covers a full course module or 6–10 marketing videos monthly. Brand kit ensures consistent output for clients.
Enterprise (Custom) — For agencies and businesses with high-volume production needs, custom avatar requirements, or API integration.
Is Synthesia Worth the Price?
Compare to traditional video production:
- Hiring a presenter + videographer: $500–2,000 per video
- Stock footage + voiceover: $200–500 per video
- Synthesia Starter: $22/month for 2–3 professional videos
A single course video that would cost $500 to produce traditionally costs about $7 with Synthesia. If you're selling that course for $49–199, the ROI is obvious.
Even one client project at $500 covers an entire year of the Starter plan. Get started with Synthesia and produce your first video today.
