HeyGen pricing explained: every plan in 2026

A plan-by-plan read of what HeyGen charges, from the free tier to the ten rungs of the Pro ladder, plus the charges that sit on top of the advertised rate.

What HeyGen costs

HeyGen sells a free tier and four paid plans, and the list has more shape to it than most in this market. Two of the paid plans are individual subscriptions sized by credits, one is a team plan sized by seats, and the last has no rate printed at all, only a route to the sales team. Every paid plan is quoted twice, monthly and yearly.

What each HeyGen plan costs month to month and year to year, and the allowance that comes with it
Plan Billed monthly Billed yearly Included
Free $0 $0 3 videos a month, one minute each
Creator $29/mo $24/mo 600 credits a month
Pro $49/mo $41/mo 1,000 credits a month, scaled up in ten rungs
Business $149/mo $119/mo 1,500 credits a month, plus $20 per extra seat
Enterprise Custom, quoted by sales Custom credits, seats and terms

The rate card, the credit ladder and the seat charge on Business all come off HeyGen’s pricing page. Where a monthly and a yearly rate are both printed, the yearly one is the same money spread over twelve months, so the figure shown is a twelfth of the annual charge. HeyGen can change a figure after this was written, which is why every rate on the card is worth rechecking before you buy.

How we checked the HeyGen rate card

HeyGen is the plan list here with the most room to move, because Pro is not one price. It is ten prices on an identical feature set, and the only thing separating them is how many credits a month you are buying. The ladder is transcribed in full below rather than summarised, because a range would hide the rung a reader is actually choosing between.

Nothing here was bought or rendered. The figures are read off the vendor’s pricing page and the feature comparison printed below its plan cards, and the check date is carried by the sources list that closes this page. What the plans are worth against the software is a different question, answered in our full HeyGen review, which weighs the product rather than listing its rates.

What each HeyGen tier adds

Read the four paid plans side by side and the pattern is a ceiling being raised rather than a different tool appearing. Two things move as the price moves: how long a single video may run, and how much render the plan carries.

The free tier is a trial with a one-minute ceiling

Free carries three videos a month, each capped at a minute, with standard processing speed and the HeyGen watermark left in place. It is enough to look through the avatar library before any money changes hands, and not enough to publish anything a business would put its name on.

Length and resolution climb with the price

Creator is where the one-minute cap comes off and a video may run to thirty minutes, exported at 1080p. Pro keeps that thirty minutes and moves the export to 4K, then Business lifts the ceiling again to sixty minutes and doubles the number of jobs an account can run at once.

The team layer sits only on Business

Single sign-on, a shared workspace, comments on a video draft, interactive video, and the SCORM and LMS exports that put a finished clip inside a training system all arrive together at Business and are on no plan below it. Enterprise carries the same layer with provisioning, role management and commercial terms built around it.

The Pro ladder is the one plan you size yourself

Pro is the only plan on the page where the feature list is fixed and the price is the variable. Every rung carries the same features, so the question is not which Pro to buy but how much render a month is worth paying for. The rungs are published at these rates.

Where the HeyGen bill grows

What HeyGen prints beside a plan is where the bill starts rather than where it ends. Three charges sit in between, and each one is published before you commit.

The advertised rate buys one seat

Business is priced for one seat. HeyGen charges a further twenty dollars a month for each person added to the account, so the published figure is the entry point for a team rather than the team’s bill. A five-person account is the plan plus four seats.

A credit is a budget, not a video count

HeyGen meters everything from a single pool: video, translation and the generated assets all draw on the same allowance. How many credits one video costs moves with the model chosen, the length of the clip and the complexity of the generation, so the monthly figure is a budget to spend rather than a number of videos to count out.

Rollover depends on the cycle you bought

Monthly subscribers keep unused credits for one further month, where annual subscribers accumulate them until the renewal date. Neither balance survives cancellation, which is the detail worth pricing before committing to a year rather than a month.

Where the plan comparison stops

Every plan here is metered, so a quiet month costs the same as a busy one. Credits are bought by the month and either spent or rolled forward once. A team whose video work arrives in bursts pays for the empty months on the same terms as the busy ones.

A rate stops settling the question once the thing you need is a control rather than a number. Single sign-on and review comments on a draft arrive only with Business, so for a team that depends on either, the tiers below are not a cheaper route to the same thing and the pricing above will not settle the choice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move between the Pro tiers after subscribing?
Yes, and the rung you are on does not change what the plan does. Every Pro tier carries the same feature list, so moving up buys credits rather than capability. An upgrade takes effect immediately and is billed pro rata, with the extra credits arriving in the account at the same time.
Is there a way to buy more credits without changing plans?
Only on Business, which sells one-off credit packs and offers an automatic top-up. Creator and Pro have no equivalent, so the route to more render on those two plans is a higher tier rather than an add-on.
What happens to credits already in the account if I cancel?
The plan and the balance in it stay available until the end of the billing cycle, and the account drops to the free tier after that. Credits do not cross the cancellation, so a balance built up on an annual commitment is worth spending before the term runs out.

Where these numbers land

HeyGen prices by output rather than by seat until the very top of the range. A single maker publishing a few videos a month stops at Creator. Someone who publishes weekly and wants 4K is choosing a rung on the Pro ladder, and the rung is the whole decision because the features do not move. A team that has to work inside one account lands on Business, where the advertised rate is a starting point and every extra person adds to it.

The rates here are the ones HeyGen published on the check date. If they have moved since, the vendor’s page is current and this one is not, so tell us and it gets corrected.
