What HeyGen publishes about price
HeyGen (heygen.com) publishes three things this register keeps in columns of their own: how long a video may run, what happens to unspent credits, and that one plan has more concurrency than another. It publishes no price for a second and no price for a credit. As of 2026-09-22.
| Item | On the page |
|---|---|
| Plan prices | Published |
| Monthly credit allowance per plan | Published |
| Longest single video | Published, per plan |
| What becomes of unspent credits | Published, by billing cycle |
| Parallel generation | Published as a multiple of another plan |
| What one credit buys in video | Stated to vary by model, duration and complexity |
| A price per credit | Not published |
Inclusion rule. Items a per-second rate would need, plus what the vendor publishes instead. Items no vendor in this field publishes are not listed. Order. Published items first, then the missing ones.
1An entry that is informative everywhere except the price
Most pages in this section are silent on the columns beside the rate: no clip ceiling, nothing about unspent credits, nothing about running jobs in parallel. This one answers all three. Videos run to half an hour on the lower paid plans and an hour on the tier above, unspent credits survive a month on monthly billing and accumulate to the renewal date on annual, and one tier is described as having twice the concurrency of the tier below.
So the absence of a rate here is not reticence in general. It follows from the credit design: the page states that credits are one currency for video and asset creation and that the number a video consumes varies with the model chosen, the duration and the complexity of the generation. A vendor that will not fix the consumption cannot print a rate, whatever else it is willing to publish.
2The concurrency line is a number-shaped sentence with no number
Describing one plan as having twice the concurrency of another prices the difference without disclosing the quantity. Two parallel jobs becoming four is a different purchase from twenty becoming forty, and a production planning a delivery week needs the second figure, not the ratio. The parallel-generation page records this as published-as-a-multiple for exactly that reason.
It still beats silence. Ten channels on the ledger say nothing at all about running jobs at once, and a reader of this page at least knows that concurrency is a thing the vendor meters and sells.
3Why a half-hour ceiling does not make this a cheap channel to compare
The published maximum length is far above anything else recorded here, where ceilings run to seconds rather than minutes. That is a statement about a different kind of output: a long presenter-led video assembled by the product, not a shot generated and cut into a drama. Recording it beside a thirty-second generation ceiling would compare two unlike things.
Which is the argument for leaving this entry out of the ledger rather than converting it. The columns it fills are real and are recorded; the column it cannot fill is the one the ledger exists for.
4The production behind the price
Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “HeyGen” is described in SceneMixer's guides:
A segment is one generation, and its length is the sum of its shots’ seconds.

The longest an episode may run: 240 seconds for Short Drama, 300 for TV Series, none for Film.
