HeyGen's free plan is bounded by video count
HeyGen lists watermark removal as something its paid plans include, and the free plan does not carry that line. The free plan is bounded by video count rather than by a credit balance. As of 2026-09-22.
| The reading | What it holds |
|---|---|
| The recorded value | Watermark removal not included |
| The vendor's own words | Watermark removal is not among the features listed for the free plan. |
| How the reading was taken | Read from the absence of a paid feature line in the free column of the plan grid. |
Inclusion rule. One row for the value, one for the sentence or absence behind it, one for the method. Nothing here is drawn from output, support replies or coverage by anyone else. Order. Fixed order: the value, then its evidence, then the method.

Inclusion rule. Generators whose free-tier value is read from a feature grid rather than from a sentence: the line about marking appears against the paid columns and not against the free one. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.
1Removal as a feature, rather than a mark as a property
The line on this grid is watermark removal, which is a statement about a capability and not about a file. Read strictly, the free plan is described by what it lacks, and the thing it lacks is an action. The mark that action applies to is never described anywhere on the page.
The register treats that phrasing as filling this cell and nothing more. It is the same evidentiary shape as several other rows, and it is worth restating on an avatar product because the output is a synthetic person delivered to an audience, where the question of what is burned into the frame tends to arrive late and urgently.
2Three videos a month is the other half of the cell
The free plan is bounded at three videos a month of up to a minute each, which is a cap on output rather than on spend. Removal begins at the first paid plan, so the unmarked file and the working allowance arrive together: the user who needs clean output is also the user who has run out of free videos.
That alignment makes this free tier trial-shaped in practice even though it recurs. Three minute-long clips is enough to evaluate an avatar and not enough to produce anything, so the marked material this row describes is almost entirely material generated while deciding.
3A silence that is louder on this kind of product
Nothing on the pricing page names a provenance standard, a metadata field or a detection route, so the file-contents cell records not documented. Across the register that is the ordinary outcome for a grid-only vendor, and here it sits under a product whose output is a person who does not exist saying words nobody said.
The cell is still a statement about the pages rather than about the files. A vendor can write provenance data without describing it, and this register has no way to tell the difference from the outside. What it can say is that a reader looking for something to check in a downloaded file is not given one.
