A delivered caption transcript or a non-empty page of search, channel or playlist listings uses one credit. AI Fallback Transcription, on by default for a video with no captions, uses one credit per started 5 minutes of audio, so a short clip is one credit, while one audio transcript can use several credits: an hour is twelve. Failed or empty results use no credits. Every response reports the credits used.
Yes, on every paid plan. Whatever you have not used when the month renews stays in your balance and the new allowance is added on top, until your plan balance reaches 2× your monthly allowance. On Pro (7,500 a month), use 3,000 and you renew with 4,500 + 7,500 = 12,000.
50 credits with no card on file, on every supported platform, with API and batch access. Free accounts can make 10 requests a minute. Free credits are a one-time grant and do not renew. When you outgrow it, plans start at $5.
Requests return a clear insufficient-credits error instead of billing you, so there is no surprise overage. Top up at your plan's rate, from $5 per 1,000 credits on Basic down to $0.92 on Scale, or upgrade your plan.
Every request is delivered-or-free: a fetch that fails costs nothing, automatically. Your first month on any plan is covered too. If you've made at least 100 fetches and it still isn't what you hoped, email us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund the month in full.
Yes, self-serve from the billing portal. Upgrades charge the full new-plan price, start a fresh billing period, and add the new plan's monthly credit allowance to your unused credits. There is no time-based proration or refund of the old period. Annual plans still receive credits monthly. Downgrades and switches to a shorter billing interval take effect at renewal. A cancelled plan stays active until the paid period ends, when unused plan credits expire. Top-up credits are yours forever.
