Addavox vs HeyGen
HeyGen is best known for AI avatars: videos of a presenter generated from a script, with no filming. It also offers Video Translation for uploaded footage, which keeps the speaker's voice and adds lip sync. Addavox doesn't make avatars. It localizes recordings that already exist, and live broadcasts.

FAQ
- Does HeyGen keep the original soundtrack?
- HeyGen keeps background music but drops sound effects from translated audio. Addavox separates dialogue from music and effects and keeps both.
- Is HeyGen cheaper per minute?
- Yes, on published plans: $0.16–$0.99 per minute depending on plan and whether lip sync is used, against $0.57–$1.17 for Addavox. HeyGen's credits are shared with avatar video, and its minute doesn't keep sound effects.
