Here’s a comparison of Synthesia vs VideoMat, based on the public knowledge on both sites. Heads up! You’re on the VideoMat site. Though we present both tools in the same light, visit the competitors website to complete your research.
The cheapest tiers:
Synthesia: $29 per month (unless billed yearly) for 120 minutes of video per year
VideoMat: $19 $9 per month for 12 videos per month (at about 1 minute) is 144 minutes of video per year
That’s $0,24 per minute on Synthesia, and only $0,06 per minute on VideoMat.
Please note the two tools are a bit different. Synthesia’s prices are set on minutes of video you can generate per year. VideoMat sets prices with videos exported per month.
Another difference is that VideoMat works by generating text for the video idea and generating the human-like voice on top of imagery. Synthesia, makes you create a ‘human-like’ avatar to do the acting and talking based on generated (or provided) text.
Synthesia is much more aimed at established businesses, as we’ll see below.
These are different approaches. Please decide for yourself which you believe in more: An AI-generated human face or AI-generated images to tell the story.
One giant difference is that VideoMat generates the ideas as well as the text to get a video started. You can still change the script, title and caption as you see fit, giving you total control but helping you to never run out of content.
On Synthesia, you are required to upload the original text (or PDF or provide a weblink). If this is a benefit or a downside is for you to decide. If you plan to create full stories and scripts, Synthesia could work. If you don’t, we’d recommend our own VideoMat.
Synthesia is much more aimed at businesses. Their tagline literally is: “The #1 AI Video Platform for Businesses”. They really target companies with a lot of written knowledge (like powerpoints, PDFs, long web articles, … and quickly help them turn that into videos to use on social media.
This is perfect for if you have this. Less so, if you’re looking to create a social reach from scratch making unique content aimed at all people, not business people.
If we then look at upgrade paths, the next tier of Synthesia is at $89 per month (unless billed yearly). While this will triple your video minutes per month to 360, VideoMat’s next tier starts at $29 per month, which gives you DAILY videos (that's 30 of about one minute), giving you effectively the same output for over %67 off.
Synthesia actually increases the price of cost-per-minute between their cheapest and middle tier from $0,24 to $0,25, where at the $29 per month tier on VideoMat you’re only paying $0,08 per minute generated video.
Again, we want to mention again that the tools are quite different. VideoMat generates your idea and gives you full control to change it before it generates the video. We then generate the voice and imagery based on that text, and create engaging subtitles. Perfect for growing your preferred social media channel with frequent uploads targeting a specific niche.
We also automatically upload your videos to TikTok, making it 100% automatic from generating the idea to the upload. Other platforms currently don’t allow this.
Synthesia relies on you to upload the text (or content in general) and you have to create a human-like avatar that will sort of narrate the subject. A totally different approach neither better or worse, but all depending on your needs.
With this information, we hope you are more equipped to choose the generative AI video partner you need. Please know that VideoMat gives you 25% off with the code ‘WELCOMEVIDEOMAT’ right now.
