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.Try the free plan with one real brief. Basic suits most small businesses making designs every week. Before you take a big yearly discount on Pro or Ultimate, check the renewal price for year two. There's a separate Team plan for shared use.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.
