Limits and trade-offs
Free-plan users who need more than 3 GB of workload allowance or basic rate limits, since those are the free plan limits in the homepage pricing section.; Users who need SSO or SAML on a self-serve plan, since SSO and SAML are listed as optional on Pro and not on Free or Plus in the pricing section.; Users who need a standalone video editor, since Jockey searches, understands, and assembles media from a library, and exports an MP4 after refining and trimming a cut.

Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.
When to choose Jockey
- Creators and editors with a whole video archive who want to talk to footage in Claude or ChatGPT and find the exact clip, quote, or cut.
- Marketing teams that want every ad watched and labelled by hook, talent, format, and tone, with winning-hook detection and talent and logo recognition.
- Developers who want video understanding as an API, with multimodal embeddings, natural-language search, structured data extraction, and frame-accurate timestamps.
When to choose something else
- Free-plan users who need more than 3 GB of workload allowance or basic rate limits, since those are the free plan limits in the homepage pricing section.
- Users who need SSO or SAML on a self-serve plan, since SSO and SAML are listed as optional on Pro and not on Free or Plus in the pricing section.
- Users who need a standalone video editor, since Jockey searches, understands, and assembles media from a library, and exports an MP4 after refining and trimming a cut.
A practical starting workflow
- Get an API key and connect via Claude, ChatGPT, or the API.
- Upload videos or paste a public link, and let Marengo index media by meaning and Pegasus understand it in natural language.
- Ask in plain language for a moment, quote, or highlight, then refine, trim, and export the assembled cut as an MP4.
Check before committing
- Plan amounts in the homepage pricing section are shown in $ without a named currency, so no paid-tier charge fact is recorded; only the Free $0 per year plan is recorded as a structured fact.
- The guessed pricing and FAQ paths return 404 pages, so pricing facts are drawn from the homepage pricing section, not a separate pricing page.
