Synthesia pricing (2026): how many videos does each plan actually give you?
Tired of paying for a video generator, burning the credits in a weekend, and only then finding out what the plan really bought you? Here is Synthesia's math before you subscribe.
Synthesia's Starter plan is $29 a month for 10 credits. At 1 per 1-minute Synthesia avatar video clip that is 10 generations — and if you re-roll every other one, roughly 3 videos you would actually keep.

Every Synthesia plan, converted into videos per month
| Plan | Price / month | Allowance | Per clip | Generations | Usable at 3 tries | Cost per usable video |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| StarterSynthesia avatar video · 1 min · Plan dependent | $29$22/mo yearly | 10 credits | 1 | 10 | 3 | $9.67 |
| CreatorSynthesia avatar video · 1 min · Plan dependent | $89$67/mo yearly | 30 credits | 1 | 30 | 10 | $8.90 |
“Generations” is the monthly allowance divided by the cost of one clip at the settings shown, rounded down. “Usable at 3 tries” assumes you keep one clip in three; change that assumption on the full comparison. Yearly prices are shown per month.
The catch
- Synthesia charges by finished video minutes. At the guide’s one-minute clip assumption, 10 minutes equals 10 one-minute videos and 30 minutes equals 30. Editing and regenerating new seconds consumes the allowance.
What a real user found
The provider explicitly describes 10-minute Starter and 30-minute Creator limits and says drafts do not consume minutes.
Trade-off: Minutes are consumed on generated seconds; regenerating changed text uses more allowance.
Generate a one-minute presenter video, change three lines, and check the additional seconds charged.
