| Which plan to pick | Test on the free credits, then take Pro if you make video every week. Standard's 660 credits go quickly once you start redoing clips. Paying yearly saves about a third, but only commit once you know you'll keep using it, because cancelling is the most common complaint. | Pro is the one for almost everyone: 2,500 credits is around 500 songs, with commercial rights and 20 downloads a month. Go Premier only if you need stems and the Studio editor, or you download more than 20 tracks a month. | Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable. |
