Questions
About HeyGen without a subscription
Do I need a subscription to use HeyGen?
Not on GenMagic. You top up a balance from $5 and each HeyGen clip draws its own price from it, shown before you generate. Top-up credit never expires. There is no HeyGen account or key to set up: one GenMagic account runs every model.
How much does a HeyGen video cost?
It depends on the model, the length, the resolution and whether it has sound. Today a typical clip costs $0.075 on HeyGen Video (5 s at 480p), $0.38 on Avatar IV (5 s of speech at 720p). The studio shows the price for your exact settings before you press Generate, and that is what your balance pays.
Is there a free trial?
A new account gets $0.50 of credit once its email is verified, enough for a 5 s at 480p HeyGen Video clip ($0.075). It works on every model, with no card needed.
Can HeyGen animate my own picture?
Yes, on HeyGen Video: upload an image and the clip opens on it.
Can I use HeyGen from n8n, my own code or an AI assistant?
Yes, from the same balance and at the same price: the GenMagic API (POST /api/v1/videos with the model's id, for example heygen/heygen-video-1), the verified n8n node, Zapier, Make and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
Do the clips have a watermark?
No visible watermark is added, on the starter credit too. Some makers embed an invisible one (Google's SynthID on Veo), which does not show in the video.
What if a video fails?
A render that fails is not charged. You pay only for clips that come back.
Do I need an account with HeyGen?
No. A GenMagic account runs every HeyGen model listed here from one balance: no HeyGen account, no phone number from its country and no HeyGen plan.
How do I pay?
By card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link through Stripe's checkout, and every top-up bought at checkout comes with an invoice by email (a business can add its VAT or tax ID at checkout). Nothing renews unless you choose a monthly plan.
Who runs GenMagic?
GenMagic is operated by O-mega Enterprise, Inc, United States. Questions go to hello@genmagic.co and are answered by email.
