| Which plan to pick | Start on Free, since the daily credits go a long way for background music. Starter is cheap enough to take once you're making music every week. Yearly billing saves about 25%. | Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable. | Test it on the free credits with one episode. Creator on yearly billing is enough for most solo creators. Business only makes sense once a team shares the workspace or you manage client accounts. |
