| 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 to see if the capture works with your apps. If you document processes every week, Pro on yearly billing is enough for one person. Business only makes sense once several people are building guides or you need desktop capture. | Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable. |
