What Synthesia and Trupeer are

Synthesia in brief

Synthesia creates studio-quality videos with AI avatars and voiceovers in 160+ languages. You write a script or import slides, pick an avatar, and Synthesia renders a presenter who reads it. Learning, HR and sales teams use it for training and explainer videos. We compare its rivals on our Synthesia alternatives page.

Trupeer in brief

Trupeer creates polished videos, guides and agent-ready knowledge from raw screen capture, in 120+ languages. You record a rough walkthrough, and its AI fixes the script, adds a voice and builds a document. Training, support and product teams use it. We compare its rivals on our Trupeer alternatives page.

Synthesia vs Trupeer workflow

Trupeer wins on workflow for software walkthroughs. You hit record on a screen and talk through it, using the Chrome extension or an upload. Trupeer then rewrites the script, voices it and adds captions and auto zoom. Synthesia starts from a script, and its presenter is an avatar. It also has a screen recorder, but the recording is not its center.

How a Synthesia video starts

Most Synthesia videos begin with text. Synthesia turns uploaded PowerPoint presentations into videos, and an avatar reads your script. For screen content, its AI Screen Recorder lets you pick a tab, hit record and start talking. It transcribes your voiceover into an editable script and splits the recording into short scenes.

How a Trupeer video starts

Every Trupeer video begins with a recording of the software. Its AI finds each click, zooms in, and writes the steps into a guide at the same time. A stumble never needs a retake, because you fix the script and regenerate the voice.

Which fits your work

If the message is a talk, a policy or a concept, Synthesia's avatar carries it well. If the message is how to use a screen, Trupeer shows it more directly. Our SaaS onboarding video playbook covers when each style works.

Edge Trupeer, because it builds the zooms, voice and guide from one screen recording.

Synthesia vs Trupeer pricing

Synthesia wins on price. Synthesia Starter costs $18 a month billed yearly, or $29 billed monthly. Trupeer Pro costs $40 a month billed yearly, or $49 billed monthly. Synthesia's Basic plan costs $0 and includes 10 minutes of video a month, while Trupeer's Free plan lasts 10 days.

Synthesia pricing

Starter on yearly billing includes 14,500 credits a year, enough for up to 120 minutes of video. Creator costs $64 a month billed yearly, or $89 monthly, and covers up to 360 minutes of video a year. Credits are the shared currency for all of Synthesia's AI features.

Trupeer pricing

Trupeer Pro includes 2,000 AI credits a month, recordings up to 10 minutes and a single creator seat. AI video costs 100 credits per minute, so Pro covers about twenty minutes of new video a month. Scale costs $199 a month billed yearly or $249 monthly.

What the same money buys

Per minute of finished video, the two land close. Trupeer Pro gives about twice Synthesia Starter's minutes for a little over twice the price. Synthesia is cheaper to start, and its free plan does not run out after a trial.

Edge Synthesia, because its paid plans start lower and its free plan keeps a monthly allowance.

Synthesia vs Trupeer AI avatars

Synthesia wins on avatars, because avatars are its core. Starter includes 125+ Synthesia AI avatars, and Creator includes 180+ avatars and 5 personal avatars. You can clone your own voice and pair it with your custom avatar. Trupeer also offers lifelike avatars without a camera, but custom voice and avatar clones wait for Enterprise.

Beyond one presenter

Synthesia Creator adds multiple avatars per scene, interactive videos and branded video pages. Enterprise adds 240+ stock avatars and unlimited personal avatars. A Studio Express-1 avatar is a paid add-on at $1,000 a year for teams that want a studio-grade twin.

Who needs an avatar

An avatar helps when the video explains a policy or a concept and there is no screen to show. For a click-by-click tutorial, viewers watch the screen, and the avatar matters less. Trupeer's AI voice covers most of that need.

Edge Synthesia, because it offers far more avatars and personal twins on its self-serve plans.

Synthesia vs Trupeer documentation

Trupeer wins on documentation, because Synthesia does not list written guides. Trupeer's Free plan includes AI video and document generation, and Pro exports documents to DOC, PDF and Markdown. Synthesia's output is the video itself, shared as a file, a link or an embed. For a searchable guide next to each video, you would need a second tool.

How Trupeer builds a guide

Trupeer detects each step, adds smart screenshots and annotations, and follows your own template. An AI document costs 50 credits. Its Knowledge Base add-on costs $120 a month billed yearly, with unlimited articles.

Who needs this

Support and training teams want a written guide next to each video, so people can skim the steps. Trupeer builds both from one recording. A team making culture or compliance videos may not need a guide at all. Our content repurposing workflow shows how one recording becomes several formats.

Edge Trupeer, because it turns every recording into a formatted guide as well as a video.

Synthesia vs Trupeer languages

Synthesia wins on languages. Synthesia offers 160+ languages and voices on every plan, and its AI Dubbing covers 70+ languages on Basic, Starter and Creator. Trupeer generates voiceovers and translations in 100+ languages and accents, but AI translation in videos and docs starts on Scale.

What translation costs

Synthesia Starter includes 48 minutes of dubbing a month. Trupeer translation costs 100 AI credits per minute for each target language, and Scale includes two languages. So a small team can dub in Synthesia on the cheapest paid plan. On Trupeer the same job needs the Scale plan.

Where Trupeer catches up

Trupeer translates the written guide as well as the video, and Scale adds multi-language share pages. Synthesia Enterprise adds 1-click translations into 80+ languages. Machine translation still needs a native speaker to check product terms.

Edge Synthesia, because it speaks more languages and puts dubbing on its cheapest paid plan.

Synthesia vs Trupeer training features

Synthesia wins on training features. Synthesia lists interactive quizzes and clickable calls to action with branching paths, so a video can test the viewer. Enterprise adds SCORM export for learning systems. Trupeer also lists SCORM export, and its guides help people who prefer to read.

What a training team gets

With Synthesia, one video can explain, ask a question and branch by the answer. Videos download as MP4 in Full HD for any platform. With Trupeer, each training video arrives with its written steps, which helps staff who need to look up a single task later.

Which fits your program

A compliance or onboarding course with checks fits Synthesia. A help center of how-to videos fits Trupeer. Our guide to AI explainer videos for SaaS covers where each format lands.

Edge Synthesia, because quizzes and branching turn a video into a short lesson.

Synthesia vs Trupeer collaboration

Trupeer wins on collaboration below Enterprise. Trupeer Scale includes 3 creator seats, so a small team can all make videos. Synthesia Creator includes 1 editor and 5 guests, and guests give feedback through comments. Live team collaboration on Synthesia sits on Enterprise.

Review and approval

Trupeer Enterprise adds a reviewer and approval workflow, viewer analytics and exportable audit logs. That suits large training teams with sign-off rules. On Synthesia, guests can review and comment on the lower plans, which covers light feedback.

What this means for teams

If one person makes every video and others only review, Synthesia's guest seats are enough. If three people need to create, Trupeer Scale covers them without a sales call. Trupeer Pro has a single creator seat, so solo makers pay the same either way.

Edge Trupeer, because Scale gives three people full creator seats without Enterprise.

Synthesia vs Trupeer security

Synthesia and Trupeer tie on security. Synthesia's homepage says it is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 42001 and GDPR compliant. Trupeer's homepage says it is ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR certified. Synthesia puts SAML and SSO on Enterprise, and Trupeer Enterprise adds SAML SSO with SCIM.

Where each goes further

ISO 42001 covers how Synthesia manages its AI systems. ISO 27001 covers Trupeer's information security. Trupeer Enterprise also blurs personal data in recordings automatically, which matters for screen recordings of internal tools. Ask each vendor for its reports during your review. Most security teams also want a data processing agreement, and both vendors sell to large companies.

Edge Tie, because both hold SOC 2 and GDPR, add an ISO standard, and keep SSO on Enterprise.

Synthesia vs Trupeer: which should you choose

Choose by what the viewer should watch. If a presenter should explain a topic in many languages, with quizzes, Synthesia wins at a lower price. If the viewer should watch the software itself and get a written guide too, Trupeer wins. Some teams make course videos in Synthesia and help center videos in Trupeer.
