HeyGen Pricing (2026) — Plans vs Glimeo
HeyGen charges monthly subscriptions with a credit-based allowance — credits are consumed per video minute, avatar type, and features like translation. You still record your product screen yourself; HeyGen adds the avatar on top. Glimeo uses 1 credit = 1 finished product demo video with autonomous browser capture and a lip-synced presenter included.
HeyGen pricing tiers
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited credits for testing; watermarked output |
| Creator | ~$29/mo | Monthly credit allowance; avatar videos over your footage |
| Team | ~$89/mo | Higher credit pool; collaboration features |
| Enterprise | Custom | Volume pricing, SSO, dedicated support |
HeyGen credits vary by video length, avatar quality, and add-ons. A 2-minute avatar clip costs more credits than a 30-second one — and neither includes the time you spend recording your product.
Glimeo pricing (for comparison)
| Plan | Price | Credits | Presenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 2 one-time at signup | Library presenter included |
| Single | $15 one-time | 1 video | Included |
| Starter | $29/mo | 8 videos / month | Included |
| Pro | $79/mo | 25 videos / month | Library + upload own |
| Business | $199/mo | 80 videos / month | Multiple custom presenters |
