Which plan to pickStarter is too thin to learn on if video is the point. Plus is where most marketers should land, and the unlimited image models mean stills stop eating credits. Ultra only makes sense if you are shipping video every day. Yearly billing is cheaper but risky while the plans keep changing.Treat Free as a demo, not a plan, because everything you make is public. Plus covers a normal week of social and ad graphics. Only step up to Pro if you are testing many ad variations a day.Start on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses.
