| Which plan to pick | The 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 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%. | Creator covers most solo marketers and small businesses. Move to Pro if you need 4K, translation or several brand kits. Paying monthly costs a lot more than the yearly price, and every extra editor is another seat. |
