- Reviewers mention that while both products cater primarily to small businesses, HeyGen has a higher percentage of reviews from this segment (87.3% vs. 76.9%), indicating it may be more tailored to the needs of small business users.
- Users on G2 highlight that AKOOL excels in features like Document Translation (10.0) and Video Capture (9.4), which reviewers say are crucial for businesses needing high-quality content creation and translation services. In contrast, HeyGen's Document Translation score is lower at 8.8, which may be a drawback for users focused on multilingual content.
