Pay for Premium only if you regularly fix video files, need to batch-process episodes, or already want Firefly Pro for images. | Skip Lite for business, because it's personal use only. Pro is the starting point for marketing videos, and Advanced if you need more than 15 minutes a month or no AI mark. Monthly billing costs a lot more than the yearly prices shown. | Start on Free, since the daily credits go a long way for background music. Starter is cheap enough to take once you're making music every week. Yearly billing saves about 25%. |
