AKOOL is a credit-based AI video platform for avatars, video translation with lip-sync, and face swap. Paid plans are billed per seat and allocate monthly credits (the Starter plan includes 200 credits/mo at $12/seat/mo billed yearly).

Profile

AKOOL is a credit-based AI video platform for avatar presenter videos, lip-synced video translation, and face swap, aimed at marketing, localization, and agency teams that need multilingual video at scale. Rather than a flat per-video fee, AKOOL bills per seat plus a pool of monthly credits, and it gates commercial usage behind specific pricing tiers instead of granting it universally.

Who builds it

AKOOL positions itself as an enterprise-oriented AI video and face-technology company, offering avatar generation, video translation with lip-sync, and face-swap as a connected suite rather than single-purpose tools. The product ships both a self-serve web app and an API, so agencies and platforms can either use AKOOL directly or embed its avatar/translation engine inside their own product.

Core features

  • Avatar Video — generate presenter-led videos from a script using AKOOL's avatar library, without filming.
  • Lip-Sync Video Translation — translate an existing video's spoken audio into another language and resync the speaker's mouth movements, with support for 155+ languages.
  • Face Swap — replace a face in existing footage with another likeness.
  • API access — included on paid plans, letting teams automate avatar or translation jobs outside the web app.
  • Up to 8K export — available on higher tiers, well above the 1080p/4K ceiling most avatar competitors offer.
  • Tiered video-length caps — plans scale video duration from 15 minutes (Starter) up to 60 minutes (Business), rather than one fixed limit.

Pricing

AKOOL is freemium and credit-based, billed per seat:

  • Free ($0): exports carry a full-screen watermark; videos up to 15 minutes.
  • Starter (from $12/seat/month billed yearly, $0.060/credit): watermark removed, "personal" license, videos up to 15 minutes.
  • Pro / Pro Max: longer runtime caps (up to 30 and 45 minutes respectively), still under a "personal" license.
  • Business: videos up to 60 minutes and a "business" license, aimed at agencies and small businesses.
  • Enterprise: custom video-length limits and an "enterprise" license, negotiated directly with AKOOL.

Because cost depends on seats, credits consumed, and which license tier you need for commercial work, teams should size their plan around monthly generation volume rather than treating the listed per-seat price as the full cost.

Who it's for

AKOOL suits agencies, localization teams, and platforms that need to produce or resell multilingual avatar and dubbed video at volume — the API, per-seat billing, and licensed tiers are built for that workflow. Solo creators evaluating the free plan should note the full-screen watermark, and anyone needing commercial rights should budget for at least the Business tier rather than assuming a lower-priced plan covers it.

Frequently asked questions

What does AKOOL cost?

AKOOL runs on a per-seat, credit-based freemium model. The Free plan is $0/month but exports carry a full-screen watermark. Starter starts at $12/seat/month billed yearly ($144/year) at $0.060 per credit, and removes the watermark. Higher tiers (Pro, Pro Max, Business, Enterprise) cost more per seat and add longer video-length caps and higher license tiers, so your real monthly cost depends on team size and credit usage.

Is AKOOL free, and does the free plan add a watermark?

Yes, AKOOL has a free $0/month plan, but it adds a full-screen watermark to every export. The watermark is removed starting on the paid Starter plan ($12/seat/month billed yearly).

What is the maximum resolution and clip length in AKOOL?

AKOOL supports export resolution up to 8K on its higher tiers. Maximum video length scales by plan: up to 15 minutes on Free and Starter, 30 minutes on Pro, 45 minutes on Pro Max, 60 minutes on Business, and custom limits on Enterprise.

Can I use AKOOL videos commercially?

It depends on your plan's license tier, not just whether you're paying. AKOOL's Starter, Pro, and Pro Max plans are licensed for personal use; commercial use requires the Business plan (business license) or Enterprise (enterprise license). Creators planning to sell or publish AKOOL output commercially should budget for Business or above rather than assuming any paid plan covers it.

Does AKOOL have an API?

Yes. AKOOL's pricing page lists API access as part of its paid plans, so avatar, translation, and face-swap jobs can be triggered programmatically instead of through the web app.

AKOOL vs. HeyGen — which should I pick?

Both are credit-based AI video platforms covering avatars and lip-synced translation, but they price and license differently. AKOOL starts at $12/seat/month (billed yearly) plus $0.060/credit and gates commercial use behind its Business/Enterprise license tiers, with 155+ languages and up to 8K export. HeyGen's Creator plan starts at $29/month, supports 175+ languages and dialects, and offers API access and watermark removal. Compare avatar libraries, language coverage, and — importantly for AKOOL — the license tier you'd need for commercial use, directly on each vendor's pricing page.
