| 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. | 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. |
