What counts as an AI minute?
One AI minute = one minute of source video, no matter how many features you run on it. If you run silence removal + retake detection + captions on a 5-minute clip, that's 5 AI minutes — not 15. Run everything, pay once per minute.
Need more AI minutes?
Top up anytime from your dashboard. Minute packs never expire and roll over month-to-month. Great for a heavy editing week without changing your plan.
Pricing FAQ
Is the free trial really free? Do I need a credit card?
Yes — really free. No credit card required. You get 14 days with 100 AI minutes and full Pro features. At day 14, your extension locks until you pick Starter or Pro. Your trial data is kept for 30 days so you can come back.
What's the difference between Starter and Pro?
Same AI, same features, same quality. The only differences: Pro gets 3.75× more AI minutes (1,500 vs 400), personal AI style learning (the tool learns your edit preferences), and priority email support. Most creators pick Starter first and upgrade to Pro once they hit the 400-minute cap.
What counts as an AI minute?
One minute of source video, regardless of how many features you run. A 5-minute clip with silence removal + captions + B-roll = 5 AI minutes, not 15. Input length is what counts.
Do you ever degrade AI quality on cheaper tiers?
Never. Starter gets the exact same retake detection, captions, B-roll AI, and Podcast editor as Pro and Studio. We differentiate on volume and team features only — no watermarks, no slow queues, no weaker models.
