When to upgrade to a paid plan

Stay on the free plan while you're comfortably under the free plan's limit (3 videos/month, up to 1 min each, 1080p, watermarked). It's worth moving to a paid plan once you consistently bump into that ceiling, need to remove branding, or want features the free tier holds back. Paid plans start at $29/mo.
