Which plan to pickLearn on Free, but you'll need Hobby to remove the watermark and use AI. Pick Pro if you need video exports, code or apps. Extra AI credits cost $5 per 1,000 a month.Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout.
