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.Pro on yearly billing is the sensible plan if you use the app every week. Buy on the web rather than in the app store, where prices and trial terms differ. Ultra only makes sense if you generate AI video regularly or need team seats.
