Before you decide

  • Descript prints two figures per plan under a “Monthly Annual” toggle and says annual saves up to 35%; we copied both as printed rather than guess which is which.
  • DaVinci Resolve's figure is a one-time price on the Indian store, the others are monthly. They are not comparable until you count months of use.
