The short version

  • Only HeyGen has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Front starter tier limited to single-channel support; omnichannel support requires Professional tier; HeyGen avatar movements feel unnatural in longer videos and repetitive with limited emotional expression, appearing stiff and robotic after 60 seconds
  • They diverge on capability: Front covers Shared inbox, HeyGen covers AI avatars.
