HeyGen vs InVideo
These two are often compared and rarely compete. One puts a presenter on screen; the other assembles an entire video from a written prompt.
The short answer
HeyGen if a person has to be on screen saying something, especially in several languages. InVideo if you want a finished multi-scene video from a prompt and do not need a presenter at all. If your answer is "both", that is the honest signal that neither covers your workflow on its own.

Frequently asked questions
Is HeyGen or InVideo better for social video? +
InVideo covers more of a social video on its own, because it assembles scenes, voiceover and captions from a prompt. HeyGen is better when the format is a person speaking to camera, which is a large share of what performs on social.
Which is cheaper? +
InVideo starts at $25 a month against HeyGen at $29, and both have free tiers. HeyGen team plans bill per seat at $89, so cost scales with headcount in a way InVideo does not.
Can either generate original footage? +
InVideo leans on stock libraries rather than generating scenes, and HeyGen generates the presenter but not the world around them. Generating original footage from a prompt or a product photo is what a video generation platform does.
