Reasons to leave Vibeknow are mostly about the free tier and unclear pricing. Free videos carry a watermark with limited downloads, Free has no fast-generation credits, Plus allows only one active generation at a time, custom voice needs Pro or Max, and the dollar prices for Plus, Pro and Max did not render on the page we checked.
