## Side by side

| | GetReelCom | Synthesia |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | B2B marketing teams and founders who need a company, product or explainer video without a studio. | L&D, sales enablement, HR and marketing teams making presenter-led videos with an AI avatar. |
| What you start from | Your website address. GetReelCom reads your public pages and drafts your Director's Guide (brand, products, audience, characters, venues) and the script. | A script and an avatar in a scene editor. The Assistant can draft the script from a prompt plus documents or URLs. |
| What comes out | Cinematic 3D animated scenes of ten seconds, landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16. You approve a 2K still frame before the video is generated. | Talking-avatar videos with templates and motion graphics, 1080p, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 5:4. Short generated clips can be added as scenes. |
| Cast consistency | Characters built from real photos keep the same face scene after scene. | Personal Avatars from one photo or a webcam, reused across videos: three on Starter, five on Creator, none on the free plan. |
| Brand kit | Colours, logo, style reference and language applied to every scene, on every plan including free. | Brand Kit (colours, fonts, logos) on Enterprise plans only. |
| Voice-over and captions | Voice-over narration inside the clip and burned-in captions. | 1,000+ AI voices in 160+ languages, subtitles and AI dubbing. |
| Clip length | Ten seconds per scene. A 30-second company video is three scenes, downloaded separately and cut together in your editor. | Multi-minute videos, limited by monthly minutes rather than clip length. |
| Free tier | 40 credits once, no card, and they never expire: enough for a first 30-second video, which carries a GetReelCom watermark. | Basic plan, no card: up to 10 minutes of video a month, 9 avatars, Synthesia logo on the video. |
| Cheapest paid plan | Starter, €29.95 a month: 66 credits, about 2 company videos a month. | Starter, $29 a month or $18 billed yearly: 10 minutes of video a month, 125+ avatars, logo removed. |

## Who each tool is for

Synthesia is built for teams that publish a lot of presenter-led video: training modules, onboarding, sales enablement, product updates in several languages. You write or generate a script, pick an avatar, and the avatar delivers it to camera. It is very good at that, and the language coverage is hard to beat.

GetReelCom is built for the company video: the 30-second piece that introduces the company, explains the product or speaks to one audience, on the website, in a deck or on LinkedIn. You paste your website address, GetReelCom reads it and drafts your Director's Guide and a script, and the result is cinematic animated scenes in your colours with characters built from your own photos.

## When is Synthesia the better choice?

Pick Synthesia when the video is a person explaining something to camera for several minutes, and especially when you need the same video in many languages. A ten-minute compliance module, a personalised sales walkthrough or a knowledge-base video is a presenter job, and Synthesia's avatars, dubbing and templates are made for it. GetReelCom does not make talking-head videos and does not make ten-minute videos; a longer piece is several scenes you cut together yourself.

## When is GetReelCom the better choice?

Pick GetReelCom when the video should look like your brand rather than like a presenter, and when nobody on the team has time to write a script from scratch. The brand kit is applied on every plan, including the free credits; on Synthesia the Brand Kit is an Enterprise feature. Characters come from real photos of your people and keep the same face across scenes, so a launch video, an explainer and a portrait cut for LinkedIn all read as one company. And the script is drafted from your own website, which is the part most teams get stuck on.

## Is GetReelCom a Synthesia alternative?

For company, product and explainer videos, yes: it replaces the "we need a video for the launch" job. For training and presenter content, no: it is a different kind of video. Many teams will use both, an avatar tool for the long instructional content and GetReelCom for the marketing pieces. If you are leaving Synthesia because the videos look like every other avatar video, that is the case GetReelCom is built for.

## What does a company video cost on each?

On Synthesia the unit is minutes of avatar video: the free plan gives up to ten minutes a month with the Synthesia logo on the video, and Starter is $29 a month for ten minutes without it. On GetReelCom the unit is the scene: a finished ten-second scene is 11 credits, a 30-second company video is three scenes, and every new account gets 40 credits with no card, enough for a first video, which carries a GetReelCom watermark. Starter is €29.95 a month for about two company videos. The two are not measuring the same thing, so compare what you will actually make in a month, not the headline price.
