Am besten für Podcaster und Content-Creator, die transkriptbasiert schneiden wollen, mit monatlichen Kontingenten an Medienstunden und KI-Credits; zum Testen gibt es eine kostenlose Stufe.
Descript charges per editor and gives each plan a monthly allowance of media hours and AI credits. Free costs $0 and includes 60 minutes of media per month, 100 AI credits (one-time) and 1080p export. Hobbyist is $16/mo billed annually ($24 billed monthly) with 10 hours of media and 400 AI credits per month. Creator is $24/mo billed annually ($35 monthly) with 30 hours and 800 credits. Business is $50/mo billed annually ($65 monthly) with 40 hours and 1,500 credits. Enterprise is custom-priced.
The cheapest paid step, Hobbyist, adds watermark-free 1080p export and limited access to Underlord, Studio Sound, filler-word removal and voice clones. Creator is where 4K export and full Underlord access start. Annual billing saves 33% on Hobbyist, 31% on Creator and 23% on Business. The pricing page offers no explicit free trial for paid plans; the Free plan serves as the trial.

At the listed prices, a single user pays between $192 and $600 a year on the fixed-price plans, or nothing on the free tier within its limits. Annual billing discounts, taxes and usage-based extras are listed per plan above where the vendor publishes them.
Nein. Der kostenlose Plan exportiert höchstens in 1080p. Der 4K-Export ist ab dem Creator-Plan ($24–35/Monat) verfügbar. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
Creator is $8/mo more when billed annually ($24 vs $16) and $11/mo more when billed monthly ($35 vs $24). For that, media goes from 10 to 30 hours per month, AI credits from 400 to 800, and export from 1080p to 4K.
Probably not for regular use. Free includes 60 minutes of media per month and a one-time allowance of 100 AI credits, so credits do not renew each month.
The plan table lists API as not included on Free, Hobbyist, Creator and Business, and included on Enterprise. The profile FAQ conflicts on this point, and the API docs page was unavailable when we checked, so confirm with Descript before buying for API use.
Business at $50/mo billed annually ($65 monthly). It includes translate and dub in 30+ languages with proofread; lower plans do not.
