How does billing frequency affect the total cost?

Choosing annual billing provides a significant discount compared to month-to-month payments. The Starter plan drops from $29 to $18 per month, and the Creator plan drops from $89 to $64 per month when paid upfront for the year. Finance teams should weigh the 38% Starter discount and 28% Creator discount against the flexibility of monthly cancellation.

What are the costs for custom avatars?

Organizations looking for custom studio-quality avatars can purchase the Studio Express-1 Avatars add-on. This requires an annual plan and costs $1,000 per year, representing a fixed cost beyond the base subscription for organizations that want to maintain specific brand likenesses.

To determine if Synthesia is a sound investment, marketing operations must track the time saved on video editing and voiceover recording compared to legacy production workflows. NetLift helps finance teams quantify this efficiency gain by mapping tool costs against actual hours reclaimed and the reduction in external agency spend.
