Present free. Pay when the AI does more.
Captivate is free to use, and everything you make stays yours — editable, presentable and exportable — on every plan. Paid tiers raise the AI allowance and add generated imagery, and include Live Director. Every allowance below is counted over any 30 days, and a paid plan can top up if it runs out.

Live Director, on Basic and Pro
Live Director listens as you present and directs the room’s screen: lifting what you’re talking about, revealing your prepared points as you reach them, going to a scene you name, showing a key point you say, a picture, a question for the room with its results, and a closing summary. It starts by proposing each of these to you privately, and nothing reaches the screen until you approve it. Once you trust it, you can let emphasis and reveals happen on their own; pictures, the summary and any point or question with a number in it always wait for you. It is off until you start it, and presenting without it is unchanged on every plan.

Your allowance is counted over a rolling 30 days on every plan, not a calendar month: what you generated 31 days ago is back. Paid plans also carry an hourly ceiling well above ordinary use, which exists to stop a runaway script spending a month’s allowance in an afternoon. Cancelling keeps every presentation, asset and recording you have made; only future AI generations are limited.
