A HeyGen alternative
with packs from $1.99 or plans from $7.99
HeyGen sells monthly avatar-video plans. Inflyu sells credit packs you buy once — swap, restyle, lip-sync and caption a clip, or build an AI influencer, and only pay for what you generate.

One AI creator, many looks
From $2.80 per finished 15-second ad at the largest credit pack's rate, when the first pack makes 5 ads in 3 formats (9:16, 1:1 and 4:5), against $150–$500 for one video from a human UGC creator.
Likeness comes from reference images, not a trained model, so it is strong but not guaranteed. Failed items in a UGC ad batch are refunded automatically.
Try Inflyu instead of a HeyGen plan
Where HeyGen is ahead: HeyGen's free plan lists 500+ stock video avatars and 30+ languages for text-to-speech — Inflyu's AI influencer is built from your own reference photos instead of a stock library.
Pay once with credit packs, or go monthly. Pack credits never expire. Failed runs are refunded.
Questions
Does Inflyu offer a free trial?+
20 free credits on sign-up, no card required — enough for one short video and an image.
Will I lose the videos I already made on my current plan if I switch?+
Nothing is imported. Your existing videos stay wherever you made them; you start fresh with your own photos or footage and Inflyu credits.
Can Inflyu build a talking avatar from my photos?+
Yes — build an AI influencer from reference photos, then use the video editor to lip-sync a clip to a new audio track.
What happens if a generation fails?+
The credits for that run are refunded to your balance automatically — no support ticket needed.
Does Inflyu offer as many stock avatars as a subscription plan?+
No — Inflyu is built around your own AI influencer, not a stock avatar library. Build one from reference photos instead of picking a premade avatar.
