What is the difference between the Lifetime and Pro plans?
The difference is mainly billing model + credit behavior.
Lifetime (one-time purchase)
- Pay once, keep access without monthly subscription billing
- Better for creators with irregular usage or subtitle-first workflows
- You can still use add-on/pay-per-use credits on eligible plans when needed
Pro (monthly subscription)
- Recurring monthly billing
- Credits refresh each billing cycle while subscription is active
- Better for ongoing AI-heavy workflows (for example frequent dubbing/motion jobs)
What stays the same
- Core workflow value (for example transcription/export paths) remains available across plans
- The biggest practical difference is how credits are allocated/refreshed and how you pay over time
How to choose quickly
- Choose Lifetime if your workload is inconsistent or you prefer one-time ownership economics.
- Choose Pro if you run AI-credit workflows every month and want recurring credit refresh.
- If you already have Lifetime and your monthly AI usage grows, you can still add a monthly plan later (see generate-subtitles-lifetime-and-monthly-plan).
Pricing context
- AI-heavy features (dubbing, motion, etc.) are credit-based

TL;DR Lifetime is one-time access for flexible/irregular usage. Pro is recurring monthly with refreshed credits for consistent AI-heavy usage. Check Pricing for current allocations.
