The Key Difference

HeyGen builds avatars. Dubly.AI dubs real videos.

HeyGen was developed as an avatar platform. Video translation is an add-on feature, not a core product. Dubly.AI was built from the ground up specifically for video dubbing — with its own Lip Sync 2.0 model that scores 96.4 out of 100 in independent tests (HeyGen: 76.8). For companies that need a specialized AI video translator, the difference is immediately visible.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Same video. Same speaker. Different technology.

Dubly (right) translates your real footage. Watch identical scenes processed by both tools and see why Lip Sync 2.0 scores 96.4 vs. HeyGen's 76.8.

Dominik

"We tested at least 10 different video translation platforms — and despite the higher price, we chose Dubly. The quality is nearly perfect, apart from a few minor details or specialized terms. Keep up the great work!"

Johann

"Dubly.AI has been a huge help in translating my video content into another language (Spanish). I do speak Spanish myself, but the tool saves me a massive amount of time. The results are great. A clear recommendation from me. If you're unsure — just give it a try!"

Sonne Frei Haus

Jan

Jan

"I tried Dubly.AI to translate a video — and I'm genuinely impressed! The translation was accurate and sounded natural — far better than I expected. Dubly.AI helped me make my content more accessible to others, so I can only recommend giving it a try!"

Fabian

"As a service provider for a large company, I was responsible for having several online courses translated. Initially, we planned to hire a voice actor, as I was quite skeptical about AI. But the test results were so convincing that we've now translated nearly 60 videos using Dubly."

Tobias

"I use the platform for voice-overs in other languages — and it works surprisingly well, especially compared to other providers offering similar services. In some languages like French, it's clear that Dubly.AI really delivers great quality."
