How it works
- Minutes a plan covers = its monthly credits ÷ the engine's credits per minute, or the minutes the vendor states.
- Each tool's plans are checked from the cheapest up; the first plan that covers your minutes is shown. Free and watermarked plans appear only when you tick the box.
- Avatar quality, languages, custom avatars and licences differ between tools: try a short video in each before switching.
