HeyGen pricing in 2026
HeyGen is freemium. Real free tier with paid plans that unlock more usage and features. Here is the breakdown of how you pay, plus cheaper alternatives if it is not the right fit.
Plans
Verified September 2026Credits are HeyGen's shared currency for video and asset creation, and how many a video costs depends on the AI model, the video's length, and how complex the generation is, so two videos of the same length will not always cost the same. Annual billing is offered at a lower effective monthly rate than the month-to-month prices above. Because usage is credit-metered rather than a flat per-video fee, the Creator and Pro tiers can run out mid-month for anyone rendering long or frequent avatar videos.
