Questions.
Is Scene a HeyGen alternative?
Yes, for a deck that has to make its case without you. HeyGen is the better choice if you want a face on camera, personalised video at scale, or a video translated into many languages.
How is Scene priced, next to HeyGen?
Your first Scene is free. Then $25 for 500 credits, or Pro at $49 a month, billed per workspace with no seats. HeyGen is priced per month, with credits and a free plan, plus seats on Business.
Can I see how far each visit got?
Yes. Scene shows every visit: how far it got, the slide it stopped on, and whether they booked or replied. HeyGen shows views, watch time and completion on a share page, with who watched.
Can I use Scene alongside HeyGen?
Yes. Keep HeyGen for avatar and translated video, and send the decks that need a reply or a booking as a Scene. Scene starts from the same script or PowerPoint. Nothing to record.
Does the other person need an account?
No. One link plays on any device, with no login. They can listen, or read it as a page.
Can it use my own voice?
Yes, on Pro. Scene trains your voice once from a short recording and narrates in it.
