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.Use Free only to compare voices. A business producing its own training or marketing videos should go straight to Business on yearly billing for the business licence and extra hours. Month-to-month billing costs noticeably more.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.
