What a second of AI video costs, channel by channel

How many generations run at once on HeyGen

HeyGen describes one tier as having twice the concurrency of the tier below it and gives no figure for either. A ratio without a base is the least usable shape this column takes and it is still an answer of a kind. As of 2026-09-22.

A ratio with no base, beside figures that are exactOne tier is described as having twice the concurrency of the tier below, with neither quantified. The same page publishes video length precisely and per tier, so this is not a page that avoids numbers: it has chosen which capacity to express as a figure and which to express as a comparative.Least usable at the topConcurrency, higher tierDescribed as twice the tier below.

2A multiple with no base is upgrade copy doing double duty

Twice as much of something unspecified is a reason to move up a tier and not a specification. It works on a comparison table where every row is a tick or a phrase, and it fails the moment somebody has to decide whether the tier is sufficient.

The shape is common in tier grids and rare in this register, because most pages here either state a number or say nothing. Saying twice is the middle option and it inherits the weaknesses of both.

3The page quantifies length and declines to quantify throughput

Video length is published precisely and per tier: half an hour, an hour, unlimited. So this is not a page that avoids numbers. It has chosen which capacity to express as a figure and which to express as a comparative.

That choice is legible. Length is a product boundary a buyer hits on their first long video; concurrency is an infrastructure fact that moves with capacity planning, and sellers are reluctant to commit to it in writing.

4Why this column is thin across the whole register

Four channels here say anything at all about parallel generation, and three attach a figure. Concurrency is where a seller's spare capacity lives, and publishing it converts a flexible operational choice into something buyers will hold them to.

The result is that throughput stays outside almost every comparison, including the cheap ones. A rate reachable at one job at a time and the same rate reachable at twenty are not the same offer, and nothing in a price table shows the difference.
