| Which plan to pick | Pay yearly if you'll record more than a couple of months, since it works out about a third of the monthly price. For a single launch video, one month is enough. Students and teachers get 40% off. | 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. | Creator covers most solo marketers and small businesses. Move to Pro if you need 4K, translation or several brand kits. Paying monthly costs a lot more than the yearly price, and every extra editor is another seat. |
