HeyGen Pricing vs Vozo AI: What Dubbing Really Costs
HeyGen's credits against Vozo's AI points, converted into dollars per translated minute, with what customers say on five review platforms.
Summary
HeyGen pricing runs from a free plan to Creator at $29 a month, Pro at $49 and Business at $149, all metered in credits. We converted HeyGen's credits and Vozo AI's points into dollars per translated minute: dubbing with lip sync costs about $0.29 on HeyGen Creator against roughly $1.64 on Vozo. Vozo's edge is on-screen text translation, 60-minute files and API access. Scores come from G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and Product Hunt.
Vozo AI is a capable dubbing and lip-sync tool, but on price alone it does not beat HeyGen. At the $29 entry tier, HeyGen's published rates work out to about $0.29 per lip-synced minute, while Vozo's points rules put dub plus lip sync near $1.64 per minute on a 10-minute video. Choose Vozo for on-screen text translation, 60-minute files and API access; choose HeyGen when cost per minute decides.

This is a pricing audit, not a month of paid dubbing. On October 7 and 8, 2026 we scraped HeyGen's pricing page and its credit-based pricing help article, plus Vozo's pricing page and AI Points Rules documentation, and took the screenshots you see below. We turned every published rate into dollars per translated minute at the $29 Creator tier of each product. We did not buy a plan or dub a video ourselves, so quality claims come from reviewers and platforms we cite, not from our own render tests. Review scores were read from the public listings on the same two days. Where third-party guides disagree with vendor pages, we used the vendor page.
Which one should you price out?
YES if you...
- Creators dubbing or translating long videos who want 60-minute files and API access on a $29 plan
- Tutorial and course makers whose slides and screen text need translating along with the voice
- Teams that want one workspace for dubbing, lip sync and translated subtitles with glossary control
NO if you...
- Anyone whose main constraint is dollars per dubbed minute: HeyGen Creator is much cheaper on its published rates
- Creators who only need translated subtitles, because a free subtitle tool covers that without any dubbing credits
- Buyers who expect a refund after trying a paid plan: Vozo does not offer one

Pros and cons of Vozo AI
Pros
- Translates the layers other tools skip Visual Translate re-renders on-screen text in 58 source and 165 target languages, up to 20 minutes per file.
- Generous file limits at the entry price Creator accepts 60-minute files, API access and watermark removal. HeyGen Creator stops at 30 minutes.
- Subtitle translation costs no points The AI Points Rules page lists subtitle translation as a limited-time free feature for subscribers.
Cons
- Dub plus lip sync is about 5.7 times pricier per minute $1.64 against $0.29 on a 10-minute video, using each vendor's published rates at the $29 tier.
- Trial points vanish after 7 days 20 gift points cover about 6 dubbing minutes or 2 lip sync minutes, and unused points are cleared after a week.
- No refunds on paid plans Only technically failed jobs are refunded automatically. Cancel before the next billing date if you stop.
- Small review base compared with HeyGen 30 G2 reviews and 15 on Product Hunt are early signals, not a long track record.
Final verdict
If your question is purely which tool translates a minute of video for fewer dollars, HeyGen wins on its published rates: about $0.29 against $1.64 once Vozo's dub and lip sync are combined on a 10-minute video. HeyGen's weak spot is not the rate but the credit system around it. Creator cannot buy extra credits, avatar looks burn 31 credits a minute, and Trustpilot reviewers keep describing unexpected consumption.
Vozo earns its 7.0 elsewhere: on-screen text translation, 60-minute files at $29, API access and free subtitle translation. Its ratings are high, though the volume is small. For tutorial and course videos with a lot of text in frame, that can justify the premium.
Use the free points on one real video before paying, compare the cost shown before you click Translate with HeyGen's in-product estimate, and decide on your own file. If you only need translated captions, you may not need either subscription.
