What Vidnoz is
Vidnoz sells AI avatar video at the low end of the market, and says more than 20,000 teams use it. The core product works like its bigger rivals: choose one of 1,700+ stock avatars or turn a photo into a talking avatar, add a script or import slides, pick from 2,680+ voices and 3,400+ templates, and export a presenter-led video. Text-to-video and prompt-to-video, PowerPoint and PDF import, subtitle translation and one-click video translation cover the usual business jobs.
Vidnoz has also built a large set of free AI tools that bring in much of its traffic: face swap, image to video, an AI image generator that runs models such as Flux, Google Imagen, Kling and Nano Banana, music and music-video generators, and novelty tools. They share the Vidnoz account but are separate from the avatar video editor this review focuses on.
The newest feature is the expressive avatar, a more animated presenter with fuller facial expression and gesture, which Vidnoz is promoting with free daily credits.

Starter can also be bought with 300, 900 or 1,800 credits a month, and Business with 1,800 or 2,700.
Vidnoz counts 30 credits as one minute of video, so the monthly allowances are small: 15 minutes on Starter and 30 on Business. The daily bonus changes the math. Paid plans add 90 credits every day, three more minutes, which for someone who makes a short video most days is worth far more than the monthly allowance.

The gap between those rows is the whole Vidnoz proposition. Used occasionally, it costs about as much per minute as its rivals; used daily, it is one of the cheapest avatar tools available. Daily credits cannot be saved, so a team that produces one long video a month gets little from them.
Add-ons
Two features cost extra below Business and Enterprise. Voice cloning is an add-on at $9.99 a month on Starter, listed as half its normal $19.99, and Business includes one clone. Avatar Pro, a custom digital twin trained on your own video, costs $299 a year, listed as half of $598, on any paid plan below Enterprise.
The most generous free tier, with less polish
Price and free access set Vidnoz apart. A free minute of video every day with 1,600+ avatars is the most generous free tier among the avatar tools we cover, enough for short social clips or classroom material if you accept the watermark. The breadth is wide for the money too, with templates, photo avatars, product avatars that present an item, SCORM export on Starter and translation on Business, which is why universities and small companies appear among its customers.
What you give up is polish. HeyGen and Synthesia put more work into lifelike avatars, lip sync and enterprise workflows, and it shows in the details. Fifteen minutes a month on Starter is thin unless you claim the daily bonus every day, and the free tools, video editor and frequent promotions share one account and one set of menus, which makes Vidnoz feel less focused than tools built for a single job.
Vidnoz against HeyGen, Synthesia and D-ID
HeyGen costs more per month but gives a fixed quota of more realistic video, rollover credits and a larger production toolset. Synthesia is the enterprise training choice at a much higher price per minute. D-ID competes at the budget end too, with cheap entry plans, an API and interactive agents, but its entry plan is limited to personal use.
For animating cartoons, mascots and animals rather than people, Hedra is built for that job.
A first avatar tool for teachers and small businesses
Teachers, small businesses and creators who want to make short presenter videos regularly without a big bill will find Vidnoz a good first avatar tool. Judge the avatars and voices on the free plan, then move to Starter billed yearly when you need 1080p without a watermark, and plan on using the daily credits. Teams that need the most convincing avatars, compliance features or large monthly quotas should compare HeyGen and Synthesia first.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vidnoz
How much free video does Vidnoz give you?
The free plan includes 30 credits a day, which Vidnoz equates to 60 seconds of video. Videos can run up to 3 minutes, export at 720p and carry a Vidnoz watermark, and you get 1,600+ avatars, 890 voices, five photo avatars a day and one short trial of the new expressive avatars. Unused daily credits do not build up into longer videos.
What do Vidnoz's Starter and Business plans cost?
Starter costs $19.99 a month billed yearly or $26.99 monthly for 450 credits a month, and Business costs $56.99 billed yearly or $74.99 monthly for 900 credits. Both add 90 free credits every day. Each plan can be bought with more credits, up to 1,800 on Starter and 2,700 on Business. Enterprise is priced on request. Yearly billing saves 25%.
How many minutes of video do Vidnoz credits make?
Vidnoz prices video at 30 credits per minute, so Starter's 450 monthly credits make about 15 minutes and Business's 900 about 30. The daily bonus of 90 credits adds up to 3 minutes a day on top, which is worth as much as 90 minutes a month if you create daily, but only if you use it that day.
Does Vidnoz remove the watermark on paid plans?
Yes. Starter and Business export without the Vidnoz watermark at 1080p. The free plan's videos carry the watermark; Vidnoz lists them under a commercial license with watermark, so a paid plan is the practical requirement for professional use.
Can I clone my voice or make a custom avatar on Vidnoz?
Yes, as paid extras on Starter. Voice cloning is an add-on at $9.99 a month, discounted from $19.99, and is included once on Business. Avatar Pro, a custom digital twin made from your own video, costs $299 a year, discounted from $598, and is included on Enterprise. Photo avatars from a single picture are available on every plan.
What are Vidnoz expressive avatars?
Expressive avatars are Vidnoz's newer, more animated presenters, with fuller facial expression and gestures. The free plan includes one 30-second use in standard definition; Starter allows up to 15 minutes in HD and Business up to 30 minutes. Product avatars, which hold and present a product, follow the same limits.
What free AI tools does Vidnoz offer?
Alongside the video editor, Vidnoz runs a collection of free generative tools, grouped as Vidnoz Gen: face swap, image to video, an AI image generator with models such as Flux, Google Imagen, Kling and Nano Banana, music and music-video generators, a script generator and novelty tools such as an AI baby generator. Most have daily limits.
Is Vidnoz cheaper than HeyGen?
For light daily use, yes: the free minute a day and Starter's daily bonus credits are hard to beat. For a fixed monthly quota of the most realistic avatars, HeyGen's Creator plan billed yearly, about 37 minutes of Avatar IV from a photo for $24, is competitive and more polished. Vidnoz wins on price, HeyGen on realism and features.
