HeyGen makes videos presented by AI avatars, from a script, text, images or audio. It can make a custom avatar of you, translate videos and add subtitles. There is a no-cost tier with three watermarked videos a month; Creator is $29 a month ($24 billed yearly), Pro starts at $49 a month, and Business is $149 a month plus $20 a seat. Each plan comes with credits.
VEXI (formerly Social Realtr) is an AI content studio that runs social media for entrepreneurs and creators. You describe what you want and it makes the posts, videos, designs and captions, then schedules and publishes them. Plans start at $199 a month, and every plan starts with a 15-day trial.
The difference is what ends up on your feed. HeyGen makes the video and hands you a file to download and share. Writing the caption, designing the posts around it and putting it all out every week is still your job. VEXI does that job. VEXI costs more than HeyGen: plans are $199, $399 or $599 a month. What you pay for is the work you no longer do.
WHY PEOPLE SWITCH
What HeyGen leaves you doing.
An Avatar, Not Your Footage
HeyGen is built around AI presenters. For editing the clips you actually shot, it is not the tool.
VEXI edits the video for you: cuts, B-roll, music and captions. How deep the edit goes depends on your plan's mode, and anything you ask for wins.
Download, Then Post Yourself
HeyGen's homepage says to download your video, edit it and share it. Its plans list no posting or scheduling to your social accounts.
VEXI schedules and posts to your connected accounts itself.
Credits Burn Fast
Every video spends credits. Some reviewers report credits running out quickly and failed generations still taking credits.
No Plan For The Week
HeyGen makes the video you script. What to post, and when, is still yours to plan.
VEXI Autopilot runs your week ahead: it writes, cuts and posts, and can wait for your approval on everything.
Side by side.
