| Which plan to pick | Start on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses. | Starter is too thin to learn on if video is the point. Plus is where most marketers should land, and the unlimited image models mean stills stop eating credits. Ultra only makes sense if you are shipping video every day. Yearly billing is cheaper but risky while the plans keep changing. | Pro is the one for most marketers because it bundles Express Premium and web Photoshop, which many people would pay for anyway. Standard is fine for stills only. The two expensive plans are only worth it if video is a weekly job. |
