| Which plan to pick | Build one module on the free Starter plan first. If your team publishes training every month and needs SCORM, Professional is the realistic starting point; move to Enterprise only when minute limits start blocking you. | 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. | 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. |
