Descript free tier: quotas, limits and gotchas
Descript Free Tier
Last verified: 2026-08-09
How Amo and Pimi look
Pimi, don't brag yet – the ceiling is pitifully low. The free plan gives only 60 minutes of media-processing time per month, exports cap out at 720p, and storage is only 5GB. Make one 20-minute video, and just re-editing it a few times eats up the whole 60 minutes. AI credits are also just 100 points – features like captions and dubbing burn through that in no time; it can't sustain more than a couple of real jobs.
(tail flicks proudly) But you left out one key advantage — the free tier has no watermark! That's straight from the official copy, and it's rare among audio/video tools. Anijam's free tier watermarks downloads, and PixVerse's secondhand data says the same; Descript's free output can be used as-is, with no mark on it — a lot of people care about that.
So, do you need to pay or not?
If you edit occasionally and can live with 720p, the free tier's lack of a watermark makes it a great deal. If you edit more than 60 minutes/month or need 4K, you have to upgrade to Hobbyist at US$24. But note the annual plan is a one-time US$192 payment — if you only edit intensively for three or four months a year, paying monthly is actually cheaper.
