The official Descript pricing page opened on 2026-10-12 (descript.com/pricing) lists Free, Hobbyist, Creator, Business, and Enterprise. Free is 0 and includes text-based editing and a spin of the AI tools, with 60 minutes (1 hour) of media per month. The paid tiers give both monthly and annual-billed figures: monthly Hobbyist 24, Creator 35, and Business 65 USD per person per month; billed annually Hobbyist 16, Creator 24, and Business 50 USD per person per month, with the page marked Annual Saving up to 35% over monthly plan. Enterprise says Custom, and the page lists AI and data controls (opt-out of training, custom retention) plus SOC 2 Type II, SSO, SCIM, and audit logs. Transcription is stated to support 25 languages. The page states no region and no full commercial licence scope. This is not a hands-on test.

When to pick it

Choose Descript when podcast or talking-head video is edited by editing the transcript and you accept that media hours and AI credits are capped per tier with top-ups sold separately.

When to skip it

Free gives only 60 media minutes per month and the training opt-out and custom retention appear only on Enterprise, and it is not a substitute for multicam or complex compositing. For video, image, and audio scheduled from one credit system, the closer directory record is Runway; for template-driven social graphics and decks, the closer record is Canva AI. This is not a ranked review.
