Which plan to pickAn individual should take Professional: the free redo is worth the extra $10 over Basic. Companies should use the Team plan, where credits never expire and the per-person price drops as you buy more.Pro covers most sellers who design regularly and need print-quality exports. Only move to Expert or Max if you generate lots of AI product images or video every week. Monthly billing costs roughly a third more than yearly.Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout.
