FAQ
What do I get by going Pro?
Pro unlocks the full effect catalogue, removes the watermark, raises export to 4K, adds cloud project and preset sync, and turns on projector mode — the fullscreen clean-output mode built for live performance and VJ sets.
Is the free tier a trial?
No. kott Free is perpetual freemium, not a trial. You get the whole engine at full quality — layers, text, shapes, webcam/video and on-device vision — plus 52 of the 208 effects, chosen to span every family rather than to tease. Free export is capped at 1080p with a small corner watermark.
Which effects are Pro-only?
Every family has free effects in it, so nothing is walled off wholesale. Pro adds the deep cuts: the full VHS and glitch suite, slit-scan, neon edge glow, pencil sketch, the gradient studio and particle render, and the audio-reactive visualisers built for live sets.
How does annual billing work?
Pro annual is $12/mo billed once a year ($144/yr) — roughly two months free versus paying monthly at $15/mo. You can switch or cancel from the customer portal at any time.
Do you need my camera footage?
No. Webcam and microphone processing runs 100% on-device in your browser. Frames are processed transiently and never transmitted or stored. See the Privacy policy for the Camera & Microphone details.
Is the macOS app included in Pro?
No — Kott for macOS is a separate one-time $49 lifetime purchase, independent of the web tiers. It's fully offline (no account, no tracking) with free updates for life. Pro covers the web studio: the full effect catalogue, cloud sync and watermark-free export.
