Compare
CAQA Avatar and cloud avatar services, side by side.
A plain comparison of CAQA Avatar with cloud avatar services such as HeyGen and Synthesia, on the things a training organisation cares about.
| What matters | In-house studioCAQA Avatar | Cloud avatar servicessuch as HeyGen and Synthesia, on standard plans |
|---|---|---|
| Where photos and recordings of your people go | They stay on CAQA's own computers in Australia | Uploaded to the provider's servers |
| How you are charged | No minute meter and no credits | Monthly plans with minute or credit limits |
| Watermark | None | Added on free plans and trials |
| Length of a video | No fixed cap. Longer scripts simply take longer to draw | Capped per video on most plans |
| Number of your own avatars | As many as you have permission for | A set number per plan |
| Voices | Australian library voices and your own people, with each sentence checked against the script | Large voice libraries in many languages |
| Permission for real people | Recorded for every real person. Withdrawing it switches the avatar off | Varies. Some require a live consent recording, others publish no process |
| Speed | Minutes of drawing for each minute of video | Usually quicker |
This comparison reflects publicly available information about standard plans at the time of writing. Products change, so check each provider's own website for current details. HeyGen and Synthesia are trade marks of their owners.
Private by design
Your people's faces stay in house.
Cloud avatar services need photos and recordings of your people on their servers. CAQA Avatar does all of its work on computers CAQA owns.
Faces stay in house
Photos and recordings of your people are kept on CAQA's own computers in Australia. They are not uploaded to an outside avatar service.
Scripts stay in house
Draft assessments, unreleased courses and internal messages are spoken and drawn without leaving our studio.
Permission is recorded
Every avatar of a real person carries a record of who agreed, how and until when. Withdraw it and the avatar stops working.
A fair word
When a cloud service is the better choice.
We would rather you chose the right tool than the wrong one from us.
- 01
Many languages at once
The large services translate a video into over a hundred languages with matching lip movement. CAQA Avatar is built for English delivery.
- 02
Speed and volume
If you need hundreds of videos by tomorrow, a cloud service with a large server farm will get there sooner.
- 03
Live, talking avatars
Some services offer avatars that hold a conversation in real time. CAQA Avatar makes finished videos, not live characters.
- 04
A built in video editor
Cloud services include templates, scenes and screen recording. CAQA Avatar makes the presenter video; you place it in your own course or editor.
Judge it with your own eyes.
Book a 20 minute demo and bring a script. We will make the video and send it to you.
