Which plan to pickBasic does the job for a solo marketer or founder who wants a serious swipe file. Step up to Workflow when you have a team or you want to track specific competitors and connect it to Claude. Agency only makes sense if you brief for many brands.Make a few videos on Free to see if the style suits your brand. Starter removes the watermark and is enough for a small store. Check the price at checkout, because Pippit charges different amounts in different countries.
