| Which plan to pick | Start 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. | Try Starter first. If people on your team record most days, Business + AI on yearly billing is worth it for the summaries and clean-up; plain Business is fine if you just need unlimited length. |
