Which one should you pick?
HeyGen
Solves a narrow problem well: many language versions of the same talking-head video. For anything requiring real production value, film it.
- Training videos needing many language versions
Runway
The most complete option if video is your actual job. If you just need a short clip occasionally, the per-second cost makes cheaper tools more sensible.
- Professional video and advertising production
