Which plan to pickStarter 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.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.Use Free for the odd file. Essentials suits anyone transcribing every week. Whatever plan you are on, order human transcription per file ($1.99 a minute) only for recordings where every word counts.
