Free plan

Free plan: 60 media minutes per month. Free also gives 100 AI credits, one time only (they do not renew), 720p export and a Descript watermark. Media minutes are minutes of imported or recorded media processed in Descript.

What that gives you

  • 60 minutes a month Media you can edit and transcribe Stated by the vendor

    Descript's pricing table lists 60 minutes (1 hour) of media a month on Free.

"Calculated by us" means the vendor publishes a rate and we divided your allowance by it, rounding down. Check the cost shown in the tool before you generate.

"Not recorded" means we did not find that price, not that it is free. Prices exclude tax and can differ by country.

Where it may fit

  • Podcasters and YouTubers who edit by text
  • Cleaning up audio and cutting filler words

Taken from what the vendor says the tool does. We have not tested it.

What to watch

  • Descript moved to media minutes and AI credits in September 2025, so older articles describe different limits.
  • Media time is per editor, and extra seats are billed separately.
  • Top-ups for media time and AI credits cost extra.
