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.	Test it on the free credits with one episode. Creator on yearly billing is enough for most solo creators. Business only makes sense once a team shares the workspace or you manage client accounts.
