If you only read one section, make it this one. Rows where both sides say the same thing are left out — the point is where they differ. Where each row came from is listed underneath.
| Category | HeyGen | Ocoya | Better fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | Turns one script into localised video ads across many languages without a reshoot. | Copy, image and schedule in one pass, which suits a person doing all three for a small business rather than a team splitting them. | Tie |
| Free plan | Yes. Free plan with the AI Studio editor, videos up to one minute and no export; enough to test, not to publish | No. Paid from the start. | HeyGen |
| Cheapest way to pay | $29 a month. | $19 a month. | Ocoya |
| What the paid tiers cost |
|
| Tie |
| What to watch out for | Synthetic presenters read as synthetic. Works better for performance ads than brand work. | No free plan, only a seven-day trial, and the entry tier is a single user with one workspace. Every plan is capped on credits as well as seats and social profiles, so heavy generation runs out before headcount does. Breadth over depth against a dedicated scheduler or a dedicated image tool. | Tie |
| What it asks of you | No setup — it works in a browser. | Expects some technical comfort to get going. | Tie |

The ratings
The category these two share. Marketing & Content Creation — both are listed there in the catalogue, and the fit recorded against each listing is a judgement made here, by hand.
The nine-category grid below. Derived from what each product is listed for, by one script, once per build — so the same pair always reads the same. It is a derivation, not a review.
What this is not
Neither product was run side by side to produce this page. Nobody was paid to appear on it and nothing here is ranked by commission.
To put the same question to both and read the answers yourself, run them side by side — that is a live test, and this is not.
Choose based on what you’re doing
All ten categories, including the ones where neither of these is the answer. These ratings are derived from what each product is listed for, not from running it — a rating here is a reading of the record, and the record is linked.
