No, we do not. We do, however, cover the cost of your first project with us.

If you accidentally made a purchase, please contact us within 48 hours of the purchase and we will be happy to assist you with a refund.

Yes! In fact, this is more common than you may think. When you update a project, you are paying for the number of shooting days. When and how these days are used is completely up to you! You could shoot 12 days in a row with no break days, or you could shoot one day a week for 12 weeks. Completely your call.

Long-form projects have the option to pay using weekly billing. This is ideal for feature films or episodics because it allows you to pay as you shoot, rather than spending upfront. When you pay with weekly billing, you will choose how many weeks you plan to shoot for and whether or not you wish to have the subscription automatically end after that number of weeks has been used. If you choose not to have it auto-cancel, your weekly subscription will continue to renew until you cancel it.

Our subscription plans are designed for production companies or agencies that are producing multiple short-form projects on a regular basis and wish to commit to SetHero. Our subscription plans are not intended to be used for long-form project types (such as feature films). For long-form projects, you should use our project-based pricing.

Yes, absolutely. We never lock you into our service. You can cancel your subscription at any time and it will not be renewed in the future.

Yes, subscriptions will be renewed automatically unless you cancel them. You will be sent a reminder email a few days before your subscription renews.
