Content Moderation:

Synthesia applies a system of both human and machine moderation to improve efficiency. However content about illegal things, violence, and harmful is forbidden.

• 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.
• Price comparison has Elai.io as a clear winner since, on Advanced Plan, you can create 50 minutes of video per month for $99/month. They also offer many pricing options depending on the monthly video minutes you need. Synthesia should have an intermediate plan to accommodate users needing more production minutes.
• In Synthesia maximum video length is 10 minutes, but this is a more mature platform with shorter rendering and moderation times. Also, Synthesia avatars feature better lip-synching and look more polished and human.
• Elai offers automatic translation, a feature Synthesia lacks and valuable if you create videos for different audiences.
• 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 videos 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.
