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.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.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.
