Pricing

What it costs

Agents use the same credits as the API: 1 per transcript, 4 per YouTube search, 1 per search inside a channel, and 20 to list a channel's or playlist's videos. Checking a channel's newest uploads is free. Failed calls are never charged, and new accounts get 100 credits with no card.
