Pricing and Plans

Kite operates on a freemium model, providing flexibility for different users:

• Free Plan: This plan allows users to test every feature of the application, including all editing tools, effects, and full-resolution previews. Exports created with the free plan will have a small, unobtrusive watermark. No sign-up is required to download and start using the tool.
• Pro Plan: This is a paid subscription, available on a monthly or annual basis. It unlocks the full power of Kite by removing the watermark from all exports. The Pro plan includes a license for commercial use of the created videos.
• Team Licensing: For organizations and teams that require multiple user licenses, Kite offers custom plans. Interested parties are encouraged to contact their support team to discuss licensing options.
• Refund Policy: Subscriptions are generally non-refundable because the free plan allows for comprehensive testing before purchase. However, Kite offers a 48-hour window for accidental upgrades (if no watermark-free video has been exported) and will consider refunds in cases of technical failures that they cannot resolve in a timely manner.
