Each listing is a review we wrote, including the parts vendors leave off the pricing page
Most directories paste the vendor's blurb and move on. We write down what we'd want to know before a purchase order goes in, which is usually the stuff the blurb skips.

HeyGen
4.4out of 5
The broadest AI avatar video tool for training, sales and marketing clips, and the strongest pick when one video has to exist in several languages. The credit system sets your real cost, so test your own script on the free plan before you pick a tier.

The price you'll actually pay
Skip the banner price; each review walks through the plans and tells you where the free tier stops.
The limits we found
Apollo
Credits decide what Apollo really costs. An email is 1 credit, a phone number 8, enrichment 1 to 8, an AI research run 1, and US dialing 1 per 30 seconds; the free plan gets 75 a month. Paid credits are pooled across the team and granted upfront, but they reset every billing cycle and never roll over, and add-on credits renew automatically until you drag the slider back to zero. The record selection limit (25 on Free, 1,000 on Basic, 2,500 on Professional) means bigger lists are built in batches. Free and Basic cap sending at 250 emails a day. All seats share one plan level, Organization needs at least 3 seats on a yearly contract, and the standard terms forbid using Apollo data inside a product you sell or share with customers.
