| About | HeyGen creates talking-avatar videos from text, lets you make a digital twin of yourself, and translates videos into other languages with lip-synced dubbing. Marketers and sales teams use it for personalised and localised video. | Pika turns text and images into short video clips and adds effects that change objects or scenes in existing footage. It focuses on quick, fun clips for social media, with a free tier and paid plans for more generations. |

Pika also runs on iOS. Both are described from their official websites; try each with a real task from your own work before you commit, since quality depends heavily on the job.
