| Narration | Written to be heard, and narrated slide by slide | Yes, by an avatar, in many languages |
| Listener analytics | Every visit: how far it was heard, the slide it stopped on, and whether they booked or replied. No email gate, so it opens on any phone it is forwarded to, and visits are not named | Views, watch time and completion on a share page, with who watched |
| Book or reply | Book a time or reply, from any slide | Interactive links and quizzes, on higher plans |
| Your own voice | Yes, trained once from a short recording (Pro) | Yes, voice cloning on every plan |
| Help with the story | Asks what the story needs, and flags anything it added for you to check | Turns a script, a PowerPoint or a PDF into a video |
| Your brand | A brand kit taken from your website | A brand kit with logo, fonts and colours, on paid plans |
| Listen or read | Both: listen, or read it as a page | Watch |
| Work as a team | A shared workspace for the team's decks | Yes, on Business and Enterprise |
| How it is priced | First Scene free. Then $25 for 500 credits, or Pro at $49 a month. Per workspace, no seats | Per month, with credits, plus seats on Business. Free plan |

Questions.
Is Scene a HeyGen alternative?
For a deck you send ahead, yes. Choose Scene if you want a branded deck people can listen to or read as a page, and you want to know how far they got. Choose HeyGen if you want a face on camera, personalised video at scale, or a video translated into many languages.
How is Scene priced, next to HeyGen?
Your first Scene is free. Then $25 for 500 credits, or Pro at $49 a month, billed per workspace with no seats. HeyGen: Per month, with credits, plus seats on Business. Free plan.
Can I see how far they listened?
Yes. Scene shows every visit: how far it was heard, the slide it stopped on, and whether they booked or replied. HeyGen: Views, watch time and completion on a share page, with who watched.
Can I use Scene alongside HeyGen?
Yes. Keep HeyGen for avatar and translated video, and send the decks that need a reply or a booking as a Scene. Scene starts from a PowerPoint, PDF or Word file, so nothing has to be rebuilt.
Does the other person need an account?
No. One link plays on any device, with no login. They can listen, or read it as a page.
Can it use my own voice?
Yes, on Pro. Scene trains your voice once from a short recording and narrates in it.
