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.Make a test video on Free, then take Standard month to month until you know how many credits you actually use. Only commit to yearly once you're sure, because refunds are hard to get.Try Starter first. If people on your team record most days, Business + AI on yearly billing is worth it for the summaries and clean-up; plain Business is fine if you just need unlimited length.
