HeyGen pricing, in real terms
HeyGen’s plans include credits, and the avatar engine you pick decides how fast they go. Avatar III uses 4 credits a minute and Avatar IV uses 31, so the same $29 plan makes 150 minutes or 19.

What the pricing page doesn’t make obvious
- The avatar engine changes the cost almost eightfold. In HeyGen’s help center, photo-look avatars use 7 credits a minute on Avatar III and 16 on Avatar IV, and Avatar V uses 48.
- HeyGen’s blog, updated on 2 November 2026, gives lower figures: 3 credits a minute for Avatar III and 20 for Avatar IV and V. The pricing page gives none. We use the help center, the more expensive of the two, so your credits may stretch further than we show.
- Extra credit packs ($5 for 100 credits) are sold to Business subscribers only. On Creator and Pro you move up a level instead.
- Video Agent uses 80 credits a minute, and video translation with lip-sync uses 6 to 10.
- Videos are capped at 30 minutes each on Creator and Pro.
