Why $6 for Pro?
TubeBuddy Pro is $4.99/mo but their free tier is quite limited, and their Legend tier ($39.99) is the one with real keyword data. VidIQ starts at $7.50/mo for basic features and goes to $99/mo for their top plan.
We land at $6/mo — slightly above TubeBuddy's entry point but below VidIQ, with a more generous free tier than either. At $6, the product pays for its own server costs with just a handful of subscribers, keeping it sustainable without VC pressure.
Studio at $14/mo targets anyone managing more than one channel — an underserved gap, since TubeBuddy charges per channel and VidIQ's multi-channel is enterprise-only. This is a real differentiator.
Note: payments are not yet implemented. These tiers are the recommendation; actual payment gating will be added when a payment processor is integrated (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, or Paddle — all free to integrate, pay per transaction).
FAQ
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. The free tier never requires a credit card.
What YouTube API quota do I use?
Most features (keyword research, tag extraction, trending) use zero YouTube quota via web scraping. Bulk edit, analytics, and channel branding do use quota — typically well within the free 10,000 units/day limit for individual creators.
Can I manage more than one YouTube channel?
Yes — the Studio tier supports multiple YouTube channels under one Kontire account, with quick switching between them.
Is there a free trial for Pro?
Not yet — but the free tier is generous enough that you'll know whether the tool is useful before you commit.
What data do you store?
We store OAuth tokens (encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM), your post history, templates, ideas, and settings. We do not store your video files — they go straight from your browser to YouTube.
