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.Starter at $6 is enough for occasional voiceovers with a commercial licence. Most creators land on Creator at $22 for the professional voice clone and more minutes. Pro and Scale are for teams or anyone building products on the API.Play on the free credits, then take Pro if you make video weekly. It's the plan where the 4K output and the other models make it good value. Standard's 720p cap is low for anything beyond Stories.
