Which plan to pickStart on the free version; it is not time-limited. Buy Studio once you find yourself wanting Magic Mask, text-based editing or vertical reframing, since it is a single payment with free upgrades.Make a test video on Free, then take Standard month to month until you know how many credits you actually use. Only commit to yearly once you're sure, because refunds are hard to get.Start on Free to see if the capture works with your apps. If you document processes every week, Pro on yearly billing is enough for one person. Business only makes sense once several people are building guides or you need desktop capture.
