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.Pay yearly if you'll record more than a couple of months, since it works out about a third of the monthly price. For a single launch video, one month is enough. Students and teachers get 40% off.Creator covers most solo marketers and small businesses. Move to Pro if you need 4K, translation or several brand kits. Paying monthly costs a lot more than the yearly price, and every extra editor is another seat.
