| Which plan to pick | If you only edit video, the Premiere single-app plan is enough. If you also need Photoshop or After Effects, Creative Cloud Pro is better value than paying for apps one by one. The annual plan has an early-cancellation fee, so check it before signing up. | 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. | Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams. |
