Why it’s worth it
It makes training content cheap to update: change the script and regenerate the video instead of reshooting, which matters when policies and products change often.
Things to consider
- The free Basic plan watermarks videos and does not allow downloads
- Video minutes are tied to monthly credits, so large training libraries push you toward Enterprise
- Key enterprise features like SCORM export, brand kits and full translation sit in the custom-priced tier
