Easy to use

I especially liked the ease of use (hence the title), the easiest of all gen AI tools I have used so far.

PROS

How easy every step, from onboarding, to uploading assets, to generatiing voice and video is. Integration with other voice services

CONS

I think the price is OK for professional use, but for recreational use a little too high.

Reasons for switching to HeyGen

Easier to operate. More livelike video and integration of Elevenlabs voice.

Scammers and disloyal to their customers

PROS

I love how their are disloyal to their customers. Really great how they mistreat you.

CONS

For me, they are scammers. If I could, I would give a 0 star rating... Look, this was the situation: First of all, I canceled my subscription inside the platform last month and they charged me again anyway, but it doesn't stop there. Into my account history I have paid for 4 months for a 15 minute credit. Actually, 3 monthly payments paid, with the exception of this one (march 2024) now that I'm asking for cancellation and refund. By my calculations (and by the calculation of anyone who knows how to add), this is the equivalent of 45 minutes of credits for video generation. My total video generation history was exactly 9 credits, equivalent to 9 minutes. Where the hell did the other 36 minutes go? Totally scammers

Just started using the product

"We are still in the process of learning how to incorporate the product into our marketing strategy."

PROS

"It's amazing that I have the ability to create an avatar of myself."

CONS

"In order to ensure diversity and inclusivity in our platform, we need to prioritize the creation of additional senior models of color, especially black people avatars. This will not only enhance the representativeness of our platform but also provide a fair and inclusive experience to all users, regardless of their race, ethnicity or background."

Reason for choosing HeyGen

"The convenience and speed of implementation are crucial for the success of our marketing campaign project."

Heygen is best for self avatars and sync to uploaded audio.

So far Heygen wins overall compared to all the other similar products I've tried. I just wish they would establish a single payment model for lifetime access. Some of their competitors are doing this. If they progress to Heygen's quality, I'll likely move to one of them, unless Heygen adopts a lifetime purchase plan.

PROS

I tried most other competing products. The biggest issue wuth the other products is the mouth of the avatar is not realistic to the recorded audio. Heygen has proven to be the best so far.

CONS

I am forced to record the required 3-5 minute video in order to move to the instant avatar feature. Heygen won't accept video with spliced scenes, so I will not be able to use any of my existing video for the sample. Not a huge deal, just have to take time to record a sample that qualifies. Using photo avatar till then.
