30hands vs HeyGen

30hands turns a topic or existing presentation into narrated slides and captioned video. Enter a topic and audience to create an editable slide outline and deck with visuals in about 20 seconds, or import PDFs, Google Slides, and photos. While recording, users swipe through slides and narrate; the app captures voice and slide timing clip by clip. Videos export as MP4 in portrait or landscape with subtitles, or can be shared as web links that viewers can open without an account. Shared links provide viewer details such as who watched, how long they watched, and where they stopped. Teams can invite members to collaborate, and the maker says one subscription covers everyone invited. The iOS app supports offline recording; webcam recording and transcript generation are also available. Maximum video quality is 1080p. The free plan costs nothing and includes three projects, a five-minute video limit, 10 AI slides to start, 1 GB storage, and watermarked exports. Pro costs $7.99 a month; Pro+ costs $14.99 a month.
