How Synthesia can pay back
- The rule: the plan pays for itself in a month if it replaces work you would otherwise pay more than the plan price for (€16 per month, billed yearly (Starter; €26 shown for monthly billing) (source, checked 2026-10-04)).
- For example: one short promo or explainer video you would otherwise order from a freelancer or studio.
- For example: hours of repeated video or voice work your team does every month.
- Test before you pay — free plan: Basic, €0: 500 credits a month (source, checked 2026-10-04). Make one real piece of work on it first, then decide.
- Count your own time too: if it saves you an hour a week, compare that hour with the monthly price.
We do not promise earnings — this is a simple way to check the maths for your own work.
