Why teams choose SoCreative over Penji

Yes, for teams that need video, photo and design from one dedicated team. SoCreative pairs a dedicated team of editors, motion designers and graphic designers with a production network in 100+ cities and an AI-powered briefing platform. Plans start at $4,200 a quarter, are published on our pricing page, and scale up or down each quarter. Penji's plans are built around design, with video and motion added on higher tiers, and shoots are not on its published plans.

Penji publishes three plans on penji.co (17 September 2026): Essentials at $995 a month, Agency Partner at $1,995 and Dedicated Team at $4,500, with 15 percent off quarterly and 20 percent off yearly billing. SoCreative publishes Starter at $4,200 a quarter for 6 credits, Standard at $7,800 for 12 and Advanced at $10,800 for 18, with 10 percent off on yearly plans. Starter works out to $1,400 a month, and credits cover shoots, edits and design, not design alone.

Not on its published plans. Penji's pricing page lists short-form videos, reels and motion graphics from the Agency Partner plan and full AI video production on the Dedicated Team plan. Its pricing, home, how it works and FAQ pages say nothing about film crews, locations or photography. SoCreative runs a production network of vetted videographers and photographers in more than 100 cities, bookable inside the platform, with the same dedicated editors finishing every shoot.

No. Penji's pricing page says no contracts, cancel anytime, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and its FAQ says there is no long-term contract requirement on monthly plans. Quarterly and yearly billing earn a discount. SoCreative works on quarterly plans that scale up or down as your content needs change, with unused credits rolling over while your plan is active.

Penji's home page shows an average of 4.8 out of 5 across Clutch, G2 and Trustpilot, with 4,000+ teams supported, and its pricing page lists ratings of 4.7, 4.7 and 4.4 from three review sites (penji.co, 17 September 2026). Its pricing page FAQ notes that the same designer is not guaranteed and that complex work such as video and animation takes longer than the one business day quoted for standard requests.
