Which plan to pickThe free plan handles most business needs. Pay for Premium only if you regularly fix video files, need to batch-process episodes, or already want Firefly Pro for images.Start on the free version; it is not time-limited. Buy Studio once you find yourself wanting Magic Mask, text-based editing or vertical reframing, since it is a single payment with free upgrades.Test it on the free credits with one episode. Creator on yearly billing is enough for most solo creators. Business only makes sense once a team shares the workspace or you manage client accounts.
