Which plan to pickFree 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.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.
