|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Starter Free Occasional recordings and trying it out. | Free Free Hearing the voices before you pay. | Free Free Trying it on a few videos. |
Business $18/user/mo, or about $15 billed yearly Teams who record often but don't need AI extras. | Creator $19/mo billed yearly ($228/yr) Freelancers and solo creators. | Starter $15/mo Solo creators posting a few shorts a week. | |
Business + AIOur pick $24/user/mo, or about $20 billed yearly Teams who send lots of videos and want them skimmable. | BusinessOur pick $66/mo billed yearly ($792/yr) Businesses producing voiceovers every month. | ProOur pick $29/mo Anyone posting daily or running a team. | |
Enterprise Custom Large companies with IT and security needs. | Enterprise Custom Large teams that need collaboration and security. | Business Custom Agencies and media companies at volume. | |
| Which plan to pick | Try Starter first. If people on your team record most days, Business + AI on yearly billing is worth it for the summaries and clean-up; plain Business is fine if you just need unlimited length. | Use Free only to compare voices. A business producing its own training or marketing videos should go straight to Business on yearly billing for the business licence and extra hours. Month-to-month billing costs noticeably more. | 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. |
