| Which plan to pick | Creator covers most solo founders and marketers: no watermark, your own avatar and 30-minute videos. Move to Business only when you need SSO, more than one custom avatar or a team sharing the account. | Premium billed yearly is the sweet spot for practising: unlimited songs for about $3 a month. Only go Pro if you produce or remix and need Hi-Fi stems, separate drum parts or the plugin. App store prices can differ from the website. | Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams. |
