API billing is tied to plan credits, not a public per-call tariff
Synthesia's current self-serve pricing does not expose a separate dollar price per API request. Instead, the API is an eligible-plan feature and generated video consumes the same shared credit pool used by other usage-based features. That makes plan capacity the first budgeting constraint.
Creator credit math
Creator currently includes 3,600 credits per month on monthly billing or 44,000 credits per year on annual billing. Synthesia documents video generation at 2 credits per second, so one minute of generated video consumes 120 credits. The pricing table separately caps Creator API usage at up to 360 video minutes per year.
Enterprise changes the procurement model
Enterprise is custom-priced and aimed at organizations needing broader collaboration, governance and higher API rate limits. The public pricing table includes 360 API video minutes per year and says additional API usage can be purchased as an add-on. High-volume buyers should therefore budget the API add-on rather than assume the platform's headline unlimited video minutes automatically mean unlimited API generation.
When Synthesia API makes sense
- Automated training or onboarding videos from structured data.
- Personalized video generation at scale.
- Workflows where Creator's 30-minute monthly capacity is enough for initial automation.
- Enterprise environments where SSO, governance, higher rate limits and procurement matter.
