Enterprise AI video avatars

Our verdict
Synthesia is the enterprise standard for avatar-based video. Same note as HeyGen: this is a completely different product category from what we produce. Synthesia is for scaling corporate communications, not for creating brand content. If a client needs 500 localized training videos, Synthesia is the right tool. If they need a cinematic brand film, they need Apostle.
