*Depending on Plan.

Please note that features and pricing plans are subject to change. The information provided is accurate as of the time of writing.

  • Both platforms offer the same kind of service. Synthesia has more features, including valuable integrations but both keep updating regularly by adding new avatars and features.
  • Synthesia avatars feature better lip-synching and look more polished and human.
  • Elai.io offers more pricing plans depending on monthly video minutes.
  • In Synthesia maximum video length is 10 minutes, but this is a more mature platform with shorter rendering and moderation times.
  • Synthesia does not have a free trial, but to test the platform, you can create a video for free on their webpage.
  • These platforms are intended for many video types and deliver what they promise. Considering the cost of a 10-minute video with real actors, production, language localization, and post-production, nothing can beat them both. And don´t forget you can edit the video in just minutes.
