|---|---|---|
| Product compared | AI Dubbing | AI Video Translator |
| Existing video input | Yes | Yes |
| Source-video lip-sync | Supported | Supported |
| Multiple source voices | Speaker detection and voice preservation | Automatic speaker detection and voice preservation |

Existing footage stays real on both platforms
Synthesia’s AI Video Translator accepts existing video and YouTube links, preserves multiple speakers’ voices and adjusts lip movements. A Personal Avatar purchase is not a prerequisite for the translator’s source-voice preservation. Review the translator’s editing and sharing features separately from avatar creation.
Which one fits your team?
Choose Perso Dubbing
Choose Perso Dubbing when you want to upload existing footage, review the script and create a dubbed video with lip-dubbing in one workflow. Confirm your language pair, clip length and download requirements on a test project.
Choose Synthesia
Choose Synthesia when you need its multilingual player, team collaboration or a platform that combines translated footage with avatar video creation. Its translator also keeps real speakers on screen.
Pricing & allowances
Perso Starter is $6.99 per month with 420 credits, approximately 7 dubbing minutes. Synthesia’s avatar-generation minutes should not be treated as interchangeable with translator usage. Confirm translation allowances and paid feature access before estimating the cost of a 40-minute localization project.
Use source duration × target languages, then account for lip-sync, revisions and plan limits. Monthly billing and annual promotions are different commitments. Prices and allowances can change.
See the workflow
Use a representative clip with the same target language on both tools. Check translation meaning and product names, listen to each speaker, inspect close-up lip movements and confirm the files fit your editing workflow. This page compares published capabilities, not a controlled quality benchmark.

Questions, answered
Does Synthesia only generate avatar videos?
No. Synthesia also offers an AI Video Translator for existing footage, with voice preservation, lip-sync and translation editing. Compare the specific translation products rather than assuming an avatar-only workflow.
Can I try Perso before subscribing?
Perso offers a free trial. Check the current pricing page for trial credits, output limits and access to lip-dubbing before starting your test.
How should I compare dubbing quality?
Use the same source clip, language pair and output settings. Review names, translation meaning, voice consistency and visible lip movements. Include more than one speaker when that matches your real workload.
How do I move an existing project?
Start with your original source video and approved transcript. Upload the source, choose a supported target language, review the generated script and create a test output. Check file limits and export requirements before moving a full library.
