HeyGen, Synthesia and D-ID are built around AI avatars, which suits training, sales and business communications. Some listed tools sit at the edge of the category: Adobe Premiere Pro is an editor with AI tools, and LogoAI makes logos and brand kits.

API access. If you're building video into a product, Runway, Luma AI, HeyGen, D-ID, Synthesia and Magnific AI list an API.

Frequently asked questions
Are there free AI video generators?
Adobe Firefly, Runway, HeyGen and Synthesia are listed as freemium, so they are the places to start. Luma AI (Genie) and D-ID offer free trials rather than a freemium plan. We list pricing models only, so check each tool's site for what its free tier or trial includes.
How much do AI video generators cost?
Listed starting prices range from $8/mo for Midjourney to $25/mo for Luma AI (Genie). Runway starts at $12/mo, Synthesia at $19/mo and HeyGen at $24/mo. Adobe Firefly, D-ID and Magnific AI have no starting price on our list.
What should I look for in an AI video generator?
First decide whether you need generated footage or presenter-style avatar videos. Runway and Luma AI cover general video generation, while HeyGen, Synthesia and D-ID focus on avatars. Then compare the pricing model, whether you need an API and which platforms you work on. We did not test these tools, so try your own use case during a free plan or trial where one is available.
What are the alternatives to Runway?
Luma AI (Genie) is the closest match on our list, combining video, image and audio generation with an API. Adobe Firefly also generates images, video, audio and music and is freemium. Magnific AI combines generation with upscaling and stock assets, and Midjourney is an option if your work centers on text-to-image and video for artists and designers.
