WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Global marketing teamsHeyGen translates and dubs existing videos into 175+ languages with accurate lip-sync, voice cloning, and automatic subtitle generation. Marketing teams produce country-specific versions of product demos, executive communications, and campaigns from a single source recording. No localization agencies, no re-filming. Miro reported a 10x increase in video production speed after adopting HeyGen for multilingual content at scale.
L&D and HR teamsHR and learning teams transform scripts, onboarding documents, and compliance policies into professional training videos with realistic avatars. Avatar V means a trainer needs only a 15-second webcam recording to create a consistent on-screen presenter for all future content. SCORM export connects directly with major LMS platforms, and SAML/SSO controls workspace access across teams and departments.
Developers and marketing automation teamsThe Video Agent API lets developers trigger complete video creation from any workflow at $2/minute, bypassing the HeyGen UI entirely. HeyGen Skills installs in Claude Code or Cursor in one command. The MCP server connects to Claude, ChatGPT, and Manus via OAuth. Teams at agencies and SaaS companies use these paths to generate personalized sales videos, product update walkthroughs, and campaign variants at volume on a schedule or event trigger.
businessSales teams use Vidyard to record and send personalized video messages to prospects, breaking through inbox noise and improving response rates compared to text-based outreach.
