Description of Synthesia
Synthesia is an AI video platform for businesses, run by Synthesia Limited in London. Teams create videos with AI avatars and voiceovers in more than 140 languages from prompts, documents, PowerPoints or web links. The company says it has over 2 million users and is used by 90 percent of the Fortune 100; both are its own figures.
For learning teams, finished videos can be embedded in courses, published by link or embed, or exported as SCORM packages for a learning management system, and edits update automatically in published locations. Roleplay Sessions let learners practise conversations with avatars that respond in real time, and Survey Sessions use avatars to ask questions and follow up. Videos can be translated and dubbed, and brand controls and viewing analytics are included. An API supports programmatic video creation, dubbing and real-time interactive avatars, and an MCP server lets people create videos from Claude or ChatGPT.
The Basic plan is free with no credit card, with 500 credits a month (about 10 minutes of video or dubbing), stock avatars and a Synthesia watermark. Starter is $29 a month billed monthly with 1,250 credits and logo removal, Pro is $89 a month with 6,000 credits, and larger credit tiers run higher. Enterprise is custom. Yearly billing is discounted, but yearly amounts were not shown. The pricing page shows a dollar sign without naming the currency.
The homepage states SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 certifications and GDPR compliance, with SSO and SCIM for enterprise customers. EU data residency is available.
