The VideoKit Core plan enables professional-grade features and enhanced video capabilities. The Core plan is priced with a monthly subscription at USD $49/month.
Features include:

AI Usage
VideoKit offers several AI-powered features which are priced by usage:

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common questions we receive about VideoKit's pricing plan:
Will my apps require an internet connection?
Yes, but depending on what features you use, your app might only need an internet connection the first time VideoKit is used. When using VideoKit's media features (not AI features), VideoKit will generate a session token from our servers. This process requires internet access, and only ever happens once throughout the lifetime of the app.
To manually generate the token at a time of your choosing, see VideoKitClient.CheckSession.
If your app uses VideoKit's AI features, then your app will need an internet connection as the AI functionality runs server-side.
What happens to my app if I cancel my subscription?
Nothing. When using VideoKit's media features, we generate a persistent token that 'remembers' your VideoKit plan when you built your app from Unity. This means that existing apps will continue to work normally. VideoKit in the Unity Editor and in newly-built apps will revert back to the free plan functionality.
The exception is if your app uses VideoKit's AI features. In this case, the AI features will stop working.
