| Which plan to pick | Use Free until you find yourself fighting it, usually over the brand kit or background removal. Pro pays for itself the first time you skip a stock photo subscription. Business only makes sense once two or more people are working in the same brand. | There's nothing to buy for the names themselves. If you want a logo for the name you pick, Brandmark sells one-off logo packages from $35, but you can take the name anywhere. | Try the free plan on one idea first. If you'll use it most months, Pro is cheap on the yearly plan. Business only makes sense if you need your own brand kit across a team. |
