Before you pay for Instagram AR Effects
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Instagram AR Effects runs on ar, ios, android, and is published by Meta Platforms of Menlo Park, California. The full record is on the Instagram AR Effects review, and the rest of the category is under best ar vr tools.
