The money questions

Anything not covered here, write to billing@tubeextract.dev and a person will answer.

What happens when I run out of credits mid-cycle?

On a paid plan, jobs keep running for up to a quarter of your monthly allowance past zero, so a batch doesn’t stop halfway. That overdraft comes out of your next cycle’s credits. Past it, or on the free tier, the API returns insufficient_credits until you top up. Set a hard cap in the dashboard to stop at a balance of your choosing instead.

Do unused credits expire?

No. Plan credits and pay-as-you-go credits both stay on the account, and a new cycle’s allowance is added on top of whatever is left.

Is there a free tier?

New accounts get 3,000 credits to spend on real videos. No card, no expiry, same endpoints.

Can I change or cancel a plan?

An upgrade takes effect immediately: you pay the prorated difference and get the matching share of the bigger allowance straight away. A downgrade, or a move from annual to monthly, takes effect at your next renewal. Cancellation also takes effect at renewal, and any credits you already paid for stay usable.

Start with the 3,000 free credits.

Run your own videos through your own schema before you pick a plan.
