Which plan to pickStart 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.Free is enough to find out if the quality suits you. Plus is the one to buy if you make images most days, because the limits stop getting in the way and you get the whole assistant too. Pro is only for people living in ChatGPT all day.
