# HeyGen Creator is $29/month, but Avatar V burns 48 credits a minute and Creator can't buy more.

By Kevin · Every price checked on heygen.com/pricing and HeyGen's help center on 11 November 2026

HeyGen sells Creator at $29/month ($24/month billed yearly) with 600 credits, Pro from $49/month with 1,000 credits, and Business at $149/month with 1,500 credits plus $20 per extra seat (checked 11 November 2026). Its help center prices Avatar V at 48 credits per minute, so Creator's 600 credits make about 12.5 minutes of Avatar V video, and Creator and Pro accounts cannot buy one-time credit packs: you move up a tier instead. 4K export, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5 start on Pro, and the Free plan makes 3 watermarked videos a month. Zemith Plus is $15.99/month with 1.5M monthly credits for Language Swap dubbing, Lipsync, Ad Maker, Product Studio, Virtual Try-On, video models and AI chat.

## Zemith Plus gives you dubbing, lip-sync, UGC ads, video models and AI chat for $15.99/mo.

- Language Swap dubs clips of up to 60 seconds into 21 languages with lip-sync, and can keep the speaker's own voice in nine of them (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Korean).
- Lipsync matches any clip to new speech, Voice Change re-voices video or audio, and Captions burns in word-timed subtitles in six styles.
- Ad Maker turns a product photo into 9:16 presenter ads in three script angles, with AI-made presenters, your own photo or a saved AI Influencer character.
- Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Wan video, Product Studio, Virtual Try-On and GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok chat all run on the same $15.99/mo Plus plan.

- **HeyGen Pro (for Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5 & 4K):** $49/mo (_1,000 credits, about 20 minutes of Avatar V video; no one-time credit packs below Business_)
- **Zemith Plus:** $15.99/mo (_1.5M credits · Dubbing + Lipsync + Ad Maker + Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5 + Product Studio + GPT, Claude & Gemini_)

## Three pricing traps HeyGen subscribers run into.

### The newest avatar model eats Creator's credits in about 12 minutes of video.
