For noisy recordings the relevant feature is Voice Isolator, which extracts speech from background sound. The pricing page states that Voice Isolator and Voice Changer each use 1,000 credits per minute, so the 10,000 monthly credits on the Free plan correspond to about ten minutes of isolation if nothing else is used. The page does not make clear from its text which plans include the feature, so check inside the product before planning around it.

Plans are billed monthly or yearly. The Free plan costs nothing and has no commercial license. Starter lists a regular price of $6 per month, with a first-month discount shown until October 18, and adds a commercial license, instant voice cloning and Dubbing Studio. Creator lists $22 per month, with a discounted first month, and adds professional voice cloning. Pro is $99, Scale is $299, Business is $990, and Enterprise is custom. Credits per month rise from 10,000 on Free to 6 million on Business.
