| 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. | Premium is the plan for reading, and yearly is far cheaper than monthly. Set a reminder before the trial ends, and check whether the trial is set to bill monthly or yearly. Studio is a separate subscription; only buy it if you make voiceovers. |
