|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube Niche Analyzer | 10 credits | Validating a broader niche | Maps multiple search clusters, competition, content patterns, opportunities, and a practical entry plan. |
| YouTube Keyword Overview | 1 credit | Checking one YouTube query | Shows visible YouTube results, competitors, title patterns, freshness, and SERP context. |
| Thumbnail Analyzer | 1 credit | Auditing one thumbnail | Checks readability, focus, contrast, mobile clarity, weak spots, and specific fixes. |

Start With the Tool That Matches Your Question

Audit one thumbnail for clarity, contrast, focus, and mobile readability.
Open Tool →No CTR, Ranking, or Viral Guarantees

Pricing and Credits FAQ
Quick answers about anonymous credits, email unlock, monthly plans, report costs, and how the shared toolkit balance works.
Can I use the Niche Analyzer for free?
The anonymous allowance is 3 credits, while a full Niche Analyzer report costs 10 credits. Unlock 10 free monthly credits by email to run one complete niche report.
What uses credits?
Credits are used whenever the toolkit generates an analysis report, including Niche Analyzer, Keyword Overview, Thumbnail Analyzer, Thumbnail Gap Analyzer, and Video Packaging Analyzer.
What is the difference between anonymous access and email unlock?
Anonymous visitors receive 3 credits per month. Email unlock increases the free allowance to 10 credits per month, enough for one Niche Analyzer report or several smaller checks.
Why does the Niche Analyzer cost 10 credits?
It evaluates multiple search clusters rather than one query and combines broader SERP collection, competition analysis, pattern detection, opportunity scoring, and an entry plan.
Why do deeper Video Packaging reports cost more?
Deep and Full modes can use additional layers such as SERP context, thumbnail vision, subtitles, comments, and final AI synthesis when those data sources are available.
Which paid plan should I start with?
Starter is suitable for occasional research, Creator is the best fit for regular weekly workflows, and Pro / Team is intended for agencies, content teams, or multiple channels.
Do failed analyses consume credits?
Input errors and failed data collection should not consume credits. A completed or usable partial report may consume the listed credit cost because the underlying analysis layers have already run.
Does buying credits guarantee better YouTube performance?
No. Credits unlock analysis reports only. The toolkit supports better research and planning, but it cannot guarantee CTR, rankings, views, retention, revenue, or viral growth.
