European alternatives to HeyGen

HeyGen is a Los Angeles AI video platform that turns a script into a video presented by a photo-realistic avatar. It ships hundreds of stock video avatars, custom avatars trained from a user’s own footage, photo-to-video animation, voice cloning, and video translation with lip sync across more than 170 languages. An API and integrations with n8n, Make, HubSpot and Zapier drive it from other systems.

The free plan allows three videos a month of up to one minute, watermarked, with one custom avatar. Creator at USD 29 a month removes the watermark and adds 1080p export and voice cloning; Pro at USD 49 adds 4K. Business at USD 149 adds interactive video, SCORM export, LMS integrations and SAML single sign-on, with additional seats billed separately.

Consent is enforced at upload: a custom avatar requires recorded verbal consent and a spoken passphrase. The company has nonetheless been named by media and by security researchers as a tool used to produce deepfakes.
