Where the money goes with Descript

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.

Perguntas frequentes sobre Descript

Posso exportar em 4K no plano gratuito?

Não. O plano gratuito exporta no máximo em 1080p. A exportação em 4K está disponível no plano Creator ($24–35/mês) e nos superiores. fonte (abre em uma nova guia)

O Descript oferece API?

Sim. O acesso à API está disponível; os planos Business e Enterprise incluem API, e pode haver cobrança à parte nos planos inferiores. A documentação é citada na navegação do site, mas o endereço dela retornou erro 404. fonte (abre em uma nova guia)

How much more is Descript Creator than Hobbyist?

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.

Is the Descript Free plan enough for regular use?

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.

Does Descript Business include API access?

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.

Which Descript plan do I need for translation and dubbing?

Business at $50/mo billed annually ($65 monthly). It includes translate and dub in 30+ languages with proofread; lower plans do not.
