Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

FL Studio

  • Fruity Edition has no audio recording at all, so recording a vocal or an instrument requires Producer Edition or higher
  • Edison and Newtime, the audio editing tools, are listed from Producer Edition upward and are absent from Fruity
  • Bundled effects run from 53 in Fruity to 71 in All Plugins Edition, so the cheapest edition is missing 18 of them
  • Bundled instruments run from 23 in Fruity to 39 in All Plugins Edition
  • Sold as a paid licence with no free tier, listed from USD 99

Netflix

  • The entry plan caps video at 720p and allows one simultaneous stream and one download device
  • 1080p and two simultaneous streams require the Standard plan
  • 4K Ultra HD, HDR and spatial audio are restricted to the Premium plan, which allows 4 streams and 6 download devices
  • Netflix states an account is for people who live together in a single household, so viewers outside the home need a paid extra member slot
  • Plan prices and availability differ by country and change when Netflix is bought through a partner package or add-on
