Do HeyGen credits roll over?
Yes. HeyGen's monthly plans carry unused credits forward one billing cycle, and annual plans accumulate unused credits until renewal — one of the friendlier rollover rules in the AI-video field. Verified on heygen.com/pricing, Jul 3, 2026.
The rule softens HeyGen's biggest cost risk — the retake tax. At 20 credits per minute on Avatar IV/V, re-renders burn pools fast, but a light month's leftovers survive into the next cycle instead of vanishing. Compare that with Runway, where monthly credits simply expire below the Max tier, and Synthesia, which doesn't state a rollover rule at all.
The rates that decide how far a rolled-over balance goes: Avatar III costs 3 credits per minute, Avatar IV/V cost 20, translation 5. Creator's 600 monthly credits are about 30 flagship minutes — run your own balance through the HeyGen credits calculator.
