Why creators are leaving Pictory
No free plan
Pictory offers a trial but no permanent free tier. You pay $23/mo minimum — for just 10 videos.
Per-video caps
10 videos/mo on Starter, 20 on Pro ($47/mo), 30 on Teams ($119/mo). Posting daily quickly breaks the budget.
Blog-to-video only
Pictory converts existing long-form content. It doesn't generate new videos from a topic. FluxNote starts from a single prompt.
