### Subscription Options: Hub vs. Studio

Demokraft AI splits operational features across two primary subscriptions to allow users to choose either one or both services as per your business requirements:

| Subscription Plan | Primary Focus                                                             |
| :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Hub**           | Designed for hosting, organizing, and sharing curated content.            |
| **Studio**        | Focused directly on content creation, recording, and project composition. |
