Bottom line
Starter at $14 a month billed yearly is enough for occasional training…Starter at $14 a month billed yearly is enough for occasional training or explainer videos you need to download without a watermark. Pro at $59 a month is worth it for personal avatars, branded pages, interactive video or API access, not for cheaper minutes. Keep an eye on your credits. Once they run out, video creation pauses until renewal unless you buy more.
