Synthesia alternative for teams who want their own people on screen
Teams search for a Synthesia alternative for different reasons: price, the way usage is counted, or the wish to have their own trainer, rep or founder present the video instead of someone else. IdClone is built for that last case. It creates a verified clone of a real person on your team, with their own consent recorded before the clone exists, and turns scripts into videos of that person in their own voice and in 30+ languages. Below are the published pricing facts next to ours, and an honest note on when Synthesia may fit better.
The facts we used for this comparison
Synthesia's figures here are as listed on their pricing page in October 2026: a basic option at no cost, a Starter plan at $29 a month or $18 a month billed yearly, a Pro plan at $89 a month or $64 a month billed yearly, and an Enterprise plan. That is all we state about Synthesia. We do not describe their features, avatars, quality, security or policies, because we cannot verify them for you. Pricing pages change, so confirm the current numbers on their site before you choose.

At IdClone every yearly price is half of the monthly price, so Business billed yearly is $2,988 and Enterprise billed yearly is $8,988.
What makes IdClone a different kind of tool
Your presenter is a real colleague. A clone starts with two minutes of footage and a 60 second voice sample recorded by the person themselves, a live selfie check, and a spoken consent statement with a one time phrase that is matched to the training footage. When the clone is a teammate, they record it from their own invite. No identity documents are uploaded or processed at any step.
Every plan states its minutes. Starter includes 1 clone, 8 avatar video minutes and 40 voice clone minutes a month in 10 languages. Pro includes 2 clones, 25 video minutes, 120 voice minutes, 30+ languages, 4K export, a brand kit and a pronunciation dictionary. Business includes 5 clones, 90 video minutes, 300 voice minutes, 10 seats, roles, approvals, consent record export, client workspaces and API access. Enterprise includes 20 clones, 300 video minutes, 700 voice minutes, 50 seats, SSO (SAML), SCIM, a 99.9 percent uptime SLA, annual invoice, DPA, audit log export and priority support. Details are on the AI clone for enterprise page.
Disclosure is built in. Each export can carry a visible AI-generated label and content credentials metadata, and each clone keeps its own consent record. When a compliance reviewer asks who agreed and when, the answer is one export away.
Training teams in particular
Learning and development teams update the same modules many times a year. With IdClone the trainer your employees already know records once, and every later update is an edit to the script. The AI training video generator page covers scene splitting, captions and how to publish translated versions, and the AI video translator page explains how you review each translation before it renders.
When Synthesia may be the better pick
If you need a presenter who is not a real person on your team, IdClone will not help, since we only build clones of people who recorded their own consent. A tool that offers stock presenters fits that need better. If your priority is the lowest monthly price for a single user, the entry prices listed by Synthesia are lower than our Starter plan. And if you want to start with an option that costs nothing, Synthesia lists one, while IdClone never renders video without a paid plan. Our preview is free to use, but it shows a scene plan and minute estimate on a recorded sample rather than generating your video.
How to test IdClone with a script you already have
Take a script from your current library and paste it into the preview. You see how it splits into scenes, how long each scene runs at the pace you chose, and how many minutes it would use with translations. When you are ready, create your account, record your training video and voice sample with a phone or webcam, complete the consent check, and render the same script with your own clone.
Questions and answers
Is IdClone a direct replacement for Synthesia?
Only if you want videos presented by your own people. IdClone does not offer stock presenters, so teams that rely on them should keep a tool that does.
How do IdClone prices compare with Synthesia's?
As listed on their pricing page in October 2026, Synthesia's Starter is $29 a month or $18 billed yearly and Pro is $89 or $64 billed yearly. IdClone's Starter is $49 or $24 billed yearly and Pro is $149 or $74 billed yearly, with stated video and voice minutes in each plan.
Can we sign up for Enterprise without a sales call?
Yes. Enterprise has a published price and the same self-serve signup as every other plan. There are no sales calls.
Which languages are included?
Starter covers 10 languages, and Pro, Business and Enterprise cover 30+ languages with your own voice and lip sync. Translated versions count their length against video minutes.
What happens to our recordings if we leave?
You can delete a clone at any time and its model files are removed. Recordings are used only to build and run your clone and never train shared models.
