Which should you pick?
Synthesia is the enterprise default and the one most likely to already be approved by a large company procurement process. HeyGen has moved faster on avatar realism and on translation with lip sync, which is the feature most teams actually want. Synthesys is the cheaper option and is worth a look for lower-stakes internal video. All three are priced per seat rather than per minute, so estimate your volume before comparing plan prices.
