| 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. | Basic on yearly billing is one of the cheapest ways into a full AI studio with a commercial licence. Pro is the plan for anyone using it weekly, because it unlocks every model. Watch the compute meter on video and premium models in your first month. | Standard is the sweet spot because relax mode means you never run out. Go to Pro if you make images for clients, since Basic and Standard publish everything you make to the public gallery. Yearly billing takes a chunk off every plan. |
