Pricing Reality
Twin.Actor is more expensive because creating a digital twin from YOUR photo requires more computational power and likeness verification. HeyGen's stock avatars are pre-made, so they can offer lower pricing.
If you want YOUR face in videos and need both talking head + cinematic content, Twin.Actor is worth the premium. If stock avatars work for you, HeyGen is more budget-friendly.
