Which plan to pickSkip Lite for business, because it's personal use only. Pro is the starting point for marketing videos, and Advanced if you need more than 15 minutes a month or no AI mark. Monthly billing costs a lot more than the yearly prices shown.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.
