What is Hedra?
What it is
Hedra is an AI video studio that started with expressive talking characters. Its Character-3 model animates a face from an image and audio. Hedra has since become a multi-model creative studio and inference API with more than 100 models from other labs, next to its own avatar models.
Key features
- Hedra Character 3 and Hedra Avatar for talking-head and character videos
- Third-party avatar and lip-sync models (OmniHuman 1.5, Kling AI Avatar v2, HeyGen Photo Avatar 4, VEED Fabric)
- One studio for video, image and audio generation, with 52 video, 38 image and 12 audio models
- Topaz upscalers and background removal
- A developer platform with unified inference and an agent documentation hub
- Teams plan and Enterprise private deployments, SSO and legal review

Pricing and rights
As of September 2026: Basic is $20/month for 2,000 credits, Pro $50 for 7,200, Ultra $100 for 18,000 and Teams $75 for 14,400. Commercial use is listed on every paid plan. The page title mentions a free plan, but the pricing table shows none. Hedra's terms say you own your content. Its acceptable-use policy bans uploading media of anyone other than yourself without consent and bans misleading deepfakes. It also has a separate biometric data policy.
Who it is for
Creators making character-driven talking videos, podcasts-to-video and explainers, and developers who want one API for many models.
Verdict
Hedra now offers one of the broadest model catalogues in a single studio, and its avatar tools are still expressive. It's harder to see what the free tier includes, and credit costs vary by model.
