HeyGen Pricing 2026: $29 Creator, $49 Pro and Team Costs

Direct Answer: HeyGen Pricing at a Glance

HeyGen lists Free at $0, Creator at $29/month, Pro from $49/month, and Business at $149/month plus $20 per additional seat. Creator is also listed at $24/month with annual billing. The official HeyGen FAQ, retrieved on October 4, 2026 (Almaty; October 3 UTC), confirms the $49 Pro plan and these entry prices, 600 monthly Creator credits, 1,000 credits on that Pro plan, and 1,500 monthly Business credits. Higher Pro tiers come from the retained pricing capture below, not this FAQ retrieval. Enterprise requires a sales quote.

The retained pricing-page capture, captured October 1 and reviewed October 3, also describes Pro tiers extending to 100,000 monthly credits at $4,300. The newly retrieved FAQ fills the earlier Creator and Business allocation gaps; it does not provide exact feature-consumption rates. A credit balance alone therefore does not establish a number of finished videos.

Source scope: the October 4 update adds the official FAQ’s credit allocations and export details. Other plan features and billing conditions below come from the retained October 1 pricing-page capture reviewed October 3; they were not all fetched again. This guide reports vendor terms and transparent arithmetic, not an independent video-quality or production-speed benchmark. The AI content creation guide covers how generation fits with editing and distribution; SaaS pricing models provide broader purchasing context.

What Each HeyGen Plan Includes

Compare required features and usage separately. The published duration limit for one video is not the total number of minutes you can generate each month.

The retained official plan comparison lists watermark removal on Creator and Pro, with Business inheriting Pro features. The new FAQ explicitly lists watermark removal for Creator and says Pro includes everything in Creator. It specifies 1080p for Free but does not establish Free’s watermark treatment. Inspect an export before planning a deliverable around the free tier. Business’s 1,500-credit figure is a plan allowance in the FAQ; do not multiply it by seat count without confirmation.

“Unlimited Photo Avatars” is a listed Creator and Pro feature. It does not mean unlimited video generation, unlimited accepted footage or an unlimited supply of credits. Keep the feature’s noun attached to any allowance you repeat in a purchasing brief.

How HeyGen Credits Work

Paid plans use credits across video and asset-creation features. The retained pricing FAQ says consumption can vary with the AI model, video duration and generation complexity. That makes a single plan-price-per-video estimate unreliable without a defined workflow.

Neither the retained pricing capture nor the new FAQ establishes specific Avatar, Video Agent, dubbing or lip-sync translation credit rates. Ask for the current consumption rules in the product or a written quote. Record the feature and model, charge unit, rounding behavior and how an unsuccessful generation or revision is billed.

Inputs Needed to Estimate Monthly Capacity

Calculate capacity only after confirming both the allocation and the applicable consumption rule. For a genuinely per-minute feature, a simplified calculation is:

planned credits = planned minutes × confirmed credits per minute
                  + other chargeable actions
                  + explicit revision reserve

Some actions may use another unit, so do not apply this formula to every feature. Keep each unit separate before summing credits. Creator’s 600 and Business’s 1,500 monthly credits now have an official source, but capacity in minutes still requires the applicable consumption rule.

For a hypothetical example, not a HeyGen rate, suppose a workflow uses 10 credits per minute. Twenty initial minutes would use 200 credits. A further five minutes of chargeable revisions would add 50, for 250 credits total. This illustrates the effect of revisions; it does not establish what a named HeyGen feature costs or how much output a subscription guarantees.

HeyGen Free Plan: Test the Workflow

Free includes up to three videos per month, each up to one minute. The retained pricing capture states that no credit card is required and lists access to Avatar IV, standard processing, more than 500 stock video avatars, one custom video avatar and more than 30 languages. That retained pricing-page FAQ describes limited trial access to premium features including Avatar IV, Video Agent and lip-sync translation; those trial details were not restated in the October 4 FAQ.

Use the allowance to answer specific production questions. Choose a short script that includes the names, technical terms and pronunciation challenges your content normally contains. Check the avatar, pacing, voice and exported result. If translation is part of your workflow, have a competent reviewer inspect meaning and timing rather than relying only on visual plausibility.

Write down what passed, what failed and which changes were needed. A successful sample supports a decision about that sample and workflow. It does not establish that every language, avatar or longer script will perform the same way. Limited trial access may also differ from the paid production configuration you intend to use.

HeyGen Creator: $29 per Month

Creator is priced for an individual workflow at $29 monthly or $24 per month billed annually. Listed features include videos up to 30 minutes, 1080p export, extended Avatar IV generation, watermark removal, unlimited Photo Avatars, voice cloning, and more than 175 languages and dialects.

The official FAQ retrieved October 4 specifies 600 credits per month and one voice clone for Creator. Confirm the relevant feature-consumption rates before converting that balance into a production schedule. Neither a 30-minute per-video limit nor a monthly credit allowance promises 30 minutes of output from every model.

Creator is a candidate when 1080p output and its listed creation features satisfy your brief. Test whether the export fits your distribution channel and whether your editor can complete the remaining work. If a requirement is missing, such as the 4K export listed on Pro, decide on the feature requirement before comparing generation capacity.

HeyGen Pro: $49 per Month

Pro starts at $49 per month with 1,000 monthly credits. Its plan card lists 4K export, videos up to 30 minutes, extended Avatar IV generation, watermark removal and unlimited Photo Avatars. It adds translation-script editing and proofreading, customizable monthly usage and access to the advanced AI models described by HeyGen.

The retained pricing FAQ says all Pro tiers share the same features and differ in their monthly credit allocation. Its published endpoints are 1,000 credits at $49 and 100,000 at $4,300. It also says users can switch tiers. Intermediate tier amounts are not reproduced here because they are not specified in that capture.

Do not assume a straight-line price between those endpoints. Choose a tier against its actual allowance and written billing terms. At the entry levels in the new FAQ, Pro costs $20 more per month than monthly Creator and includes 400 more monthly credits (1,000 − 600), as well as different features. That is a plan comparison, not a standalone credit purchase rate or a guarantee of additional finished minutes.

HeyGen Business: $149 per Month Plus Seats

Business starts at $149 per month, with additional team members priced at $20 per seat per month. The page lists videos up to 60 minutes, 4K export, five custom video avatars, workspace collaboration, draft commenting and editing, invites and team management, centralized billing, and SAML/SSO.

Other listed features include interactive video, SCORM export, LMS integrations and integrations with n8n, Make, HubSpot and Zapier. Confirm the particular integration action and access requirements your workflow needs. A product name in a pricing list is not evidence that every automation or data transfer is included.

The base-and-seat calculation is:

monthly subtotal = $149 + ($20 × number of additional seats)

With four additional seats, that is $229 per month. This example does not assert how many seats the base subscription includes. It excludes tax, credit packs and any other applicable charges, and is not a custom team quote.

The new official FAQ specifies 1,500 monthly Business credits without stating that every additional seat adds another allocation. The retained pricing FAQ says Business users can purchase one-time credit packs or enable auto-reload, but does not provide pack prices. Before enabling reload, establish an internal budget and confirm available account controls, billing triggers and who can authorize additional spending.

HeyGen Enterprise: Custom Terms

Enterprise requires a quote in the newly retrieved FAQ. The retained pricing capture lists flexible generation with no maximum video duration, 4K export, multiple-workspace control, translation proofreader seats, centralized roles and access, SCIM user provisioning, team-member MFA, invoice billing, commercial terms, priority support and tailored onboarding.

These are vendor-listed features. The page’s qualitative processing-speed labels are not an independently measured service level. If turnaround, concurrency or support response time matters to procurement, request a defined commitment in the agreement.

Ask the quote to separate subscription, seats, credits, additional usage, onboarding and support. Confirm renewal and cancellation terms for that agreement. Do not estimate an Enterprise bill by adding an arbitrary multiplier to Business, or assume a listed security feature automatically satisfies your organization’s assessment.

Monthly vs Annual Billing and Credit Rollover

Creator’s displayed annual rate totals $288 over twelve months, compared with $348 across twelve $29 monthly payments. The difference is $60 before tax, assuming the displayed rates apply throughout the comparison. This is arithmetic from the entry prices reconfirmed in the October 4 FAQ, not a negotiated discount.

The retained pricing FAQ states that monthly subscribers’ unused credits roll over for one more month. Annual subscribers’ credits accumulate until their annual renewal date. Those billing conditions were not rechecked in the October 4 FAQ, which does not discuss rollover. Neither source establishes that the entire year’s credit allocation is granted immediately.

The following upgrade, downgrade and cancellation rules also come from the retained pricing-page FAQ; they were not restated in the October 4 FAQ. Upgrades take effect immediately, with prorated billing and credits added right away. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Cancellation stops the next renewal; paid features and remaining credits continue until the cycle ends, after which the account moves to Free and unused credits do not carry over.

These rules do not establish a refund for unused months or a prorated annual cancellation refund. Check the terms applicable to your purchase before committing. Annual billing may suit a proven recurring workflow; monthly billing makes a shorter initial commitment possible at the stated higher recurring price.

Cost Checks Before You Buy

Complete the missing inputs before treating a budget as a production promise. Keep a simple worksheet with a source date, confirmed value and unresolved question for each item.

1. Model choice changes capacity

Record the exact feature and model you intend to use. Ask how its credit consumption is calculated and whether options change the charge. A rate verified for one workflow should not be copied to every other generation mode.

2. Confirm the Translation Charging Unit

Specify whether you need translation, voice replacement, lip synchronization or script editing. Neither source used here provides a rate table for these actions. Confirm both the feature entitlement and consumption rule before calculating a localization budget.

3. Budget for Chargeable Revisions

Ask which changes trigger another charge and how failed or cancelled generations are handled. During a permitted test, keep the original output and approval notes. Use observed chargeable activity from that workflow to inform a reserve; do not invent a universal retry percentage.

4. Business seats are separate

Count additional seats separately from the base fee and credit needs. List the tasks each person performs, including editing, review and administration. Confirm roles and billing in the quote rather than assuming every collaborator requires the same paid access.

5. Credits can expire

Match planned publishing dates to the billing cycle and rollover window. Do not treat a displayed unused balance as permanent inventory. Confirm what remains usable before a downgrade or cancellation takes effect, and export needed project assets according to the product’s actual capabilities.

6. Verify API Entitlements Separately

This article verifies the public web-plan comparison, not an API contract. If your workflow depends on programmatic generation, confirm the endpoint, authentication, rate limits, usage allowance and billing basis. Do not convert a web subscription’s credits into an assumed API price or entitlement.

Which HeyGen Plan Should You Choose?

Choose by required features, confirmed usage and commitment length. A plan with a larger name or allowance is not automatically a better fit.

• Start with Free when the immediate decision is whether a short representative sample meets your quality requirements. Stay within its stated trial limits.
• Evaluate Creator when its listed 1080p output and creation features fit an individual workflow. Budget against 600 monthly credits and confirm feature rates before estimating volume.
• Evaluate Pro when you need its listed 4K export or translation controls. Select an actual credit tier against the verified workload.
• Evaluate Business when collaboration, additional seats, centralized billing, 60-minute videos or listed training integrations are required. Include seat charges and confirm credit needs.
• Request Enterprise terms when the purchase depends on contractual administration, security, support or commercial requirements beyond the public plan summary.

After selecting a candidate, write down an acceptance rule for the finished video, not just whether generation completed. Include editing time and distribution requirements in the broader production decision. The YouTube SEO tools guide covers a different part of that workflow; AI app selection helps when evaluating the surrounding tool stack.

FAQ

How much does HeyGen cost per month?

The official FAQ retrieved October 4, 2026 lists Free at $0, Creator at $29 per month, Pro at $49 and Business at $149 plus $20 per additional seat per month. Higher Pro tier prices come from the retained October 1 pricing capture, not this FAQ retrieval. Enterprise requires a quote. Taxes and additional usage may change the final bill.

Is HeyGen free without a credit card?

Yes, according to the retained October 1 pricing-page FAQ, which also describes limited trial access to premium features. The October 4 FAQ confirms up to three videos per month, each up to one minute, at 1080p, but does not restate the credit-card or trial-access terms. Inspect the actual exported result before assuming it meets a client or production requirement.

How many credits do Creator and Pro include?

The official FAQ retrieved October 4, 2026 states 600 monthly credits for Creator and 1,000 for entry-level Pro. It also lists 1,500 for Business. The retained October 1 pricing capture describes Pro tiers extending to 100,000 credits at $4,300; intermediate tiers were not independently refreshed for this update.

How fast do HeyGen credits run out?

The retained pricing FAQ says credit consumption varies by model, duration and generation complexity. Neither source used here publishes exact per-feature rates, so this guide does not promise minutes or videos from a credit balance. Include chargeable revisions and other actions when building your own estimate.

Do unused HeyGen credits roll over?

According to the retained October 1 pricing-page FAQ, monthly subscribers’ unused credits roll over for one more month and annual subscribers’ credits accumulate until annual renewal. That same source says remaining paid credits stay available through the current billing cycle after cancellation but do not carry over once the account moves to Free. The October 4 FAQ does not discuss rollover.

Can I cancel HeyGen anytime?

The retained October 1 pricing-page FAQ says cancellation stops the next renewal and takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Paid features and remaining credits continue until that point. The October 4 FAQ does not restate these terms. This statement does not establish an immediate refund or refund of unused annual months.

Is the HeyGen API included in these prices?

The official FAQ retrieved October 4 describes separate pay-as-you-go API pricing starting at $5 with no monthly commitment. It does not establish that the web-plan prices or credits above include API usage. Confirm the relevant endpoints, rates and usage terms separately if your project needs programmatic generation. Do not assume that purchasing a web plan covers the same operations through an API.

Does HeyGen support 4K export?

The new official FAQ lists 4K export for Pro and Business, and 1080p for Free and Creator. The retained pricing capture also lists 4K for Enterprise. Export resolution is a feature entitlement, not evidence of perceived video quality or a guarantee that every source asset will look equally sharp after generation.

Last updated: October 4, 2026. HeyGen’s official FAQ was retrieved and read in full on October 4 Almaty time (October 3 UTC), confirming entry prices, Creator/Pro/Business monthly allocations and the stated export resolutions. Other pricing-page details retain the October 1 capture reviewed October 3; this is not a fresh check of every plan term. Exact feature-consumption rates, web-plan API entitlements and negotiated Enterprise amounts remain unverified here.
