The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Synthesia free plan limited to 10 minutes of video per month; Weet the free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
  • They diverge on capability: Synthesia covers 140+ languages, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Synthesia

  • Training video creation with AI avatarsnot Weet
  • Multilingual video localisation with AI dubbingnot Weet
  • Enterprise video production and managementnot Weet

Weet

  • An internal enablement team converting existing written standard operating procedures into video without filming anythingnot Synthesia

  • A training function that needs completion statistics and quiz results, not just view countsnot Synthesia

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Synthesia

  • Free plan limited to 10 minutes of video per month
  • Starter plan limited to 10 minutes of video per month
  • Creator plan capped at 30 minutes of video per month
  • SSO/SAML authentication restricted to Enterprise tier

Weet

  • The free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
  • Quizzes, learning paths, single sign on and GxP compliance are all Enterprise only, so the features that distinguish Weet from a screen recorder are not available on the 24 US dollar Business tier at all.
  • Pricing is per creator, so an organisation that wants many occasional contributors pays full price for people who publish twice a year, and in practice content production concentrates on a few seats.
  • It competes against Loom and Guidde, which have far larger installed bases and integration ecosystems, so a team standardising on Weet accepts a smaller vendor in a category with heavy consolidation pressure.
  • It is not a full learning management system, so an organisation with formal compliance training obligations beyond video completion still needs an LMS alongside it, which undercuts the case for a separate video tool.

The free Basic plan includes 1,200 credits per month (approximately 10 minutes of video), 9 AI avatars, 3 personal avatars, and access to 160+ languages and voices. No credit card is required.

Source
Weet: What does the free plan include?

Up to three weets with AI avatars, recording, editing and transcription. Three is a very low ceiling, so evaluate on Business.

Weet: What is GxP compliance and who needs it?

It is the regulated practice framework used in pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing where training records must be auditable. It is on the Enterprise tier only and is the main reason a regulated company would choose Weet.

Weet: Is it a learning management system?

No. It handles video training and quizzes, but formal compliance training programmes need a proper LMS alongside it.
