The #1 HeyGen Alternative
HeyGen vs Atlabs: Which is better?
While HeyGen focusses on quick, hard-sell ads using AI avatar and stock or UGC assets, Atlabs builds brand stories with cinematic visuals and consistent characters, making it better for long-term brand building, not just churn-and-burn ads.

Moving from
HeyGen
to Atlabs
Bring your assets across
Upload the images and clips you've already generated. They can be used as characters, reference frames or scene assets inside an Atlabs project.
Cast your characters once
Turn an existing character image into a cast member. From then on it stays consistent across every scene in the project, and across future projects.
Start from the script, not the prompt
This is the habit that changes. Instead of prompting shot by shot, you paste a script, a song or a product brief and adjust the scenes it generates.
Add the audio in place
Pick a voice, generate lip sync, generate custom text-to-music, and export at 1080p - or export the project to Premiere Pro if a human editor is finishing it.

Features
Everything your avatar video needs. All in one place.
Lip-sync so natural, it looks recorded
Atlabs’ lip-sync engine matches every word in your script to your avatar’s mouth movements with frame-level precision. The result looks and feels like a real person reading your script - not a robot with moving lips.
