Pros & Cons
HeyGen
- Genuine free tier available for testing with 3 videos per month
- Multiple avatar model tiers let users choose quality versus cost trade-offs
- API access provides straightforward per-second pricing for developers
- Credit costs vary dramatically by avatar model (4-48 credits/minute), significantly affecting real usable output
- Creator’s 200 monthly credits cover only 10 minutes of premium Avatar IV video
- Business plan adds both a base fee and per-seat charges, plus separate costs for custom avatars
Arcads AI
- Dramatically cheaper and faster than traditional video ad production
- Good for testing many script variations at real campaign volume
- Removes the logistics of casting and shooting for every ad variant
- AI-generated actors can read as synthetic to increasingly AI-aware audiences
- Less suited to brand-defining hero campaigns than to high-volume testing
- Real human testimonials often still outperform for higher-consideration products
