HeyGen vs Veo by Google

Our take

Pick HeyGen if marketers and L&D teams who want a presenter on camera without a shoot. Pick Veo by Google if cloud customers who will run the Veo 3 notebook and accept a per-count bill. Skip HeyGen if people who need a general text-to-video model (Runway) or speech-only TTS (ElevenLabs). Skip Veo by Google if people who want a signed-out consumer composer (Runway) or a local diffusion graph (ComfyUI).
