What is Synthesia?

Synthesia is an AI avatar platform built for business video rather than cinematic or social content: training, onboarding, compliance, sales enablement and internal communications. You write a script, pick a presenter from more than 230 stock avatars, and get a lip-synced video in 140 or more languages. The company says it is used by over 90 percent of the Fortune 100, and it carries SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and GDPR with EU data residency.

The gap between self-serve and enterprise is wide. Free gives roughly ten minutes a month, nine avatars and a watermark, with MP4 download restricted. Starter around $18 to $29 and Creator around $64 to $89 are governed by monthly minute caps that reset and expire, and re-rendering after an edit spends the same allowance as new work. SCORM export, SSO, unlimited personal avatars and translation at scale sit behind Enterprise contracts that typically start in the tens of thousands annually.
