Creator — $0
Generate viral ideas, SEO tools, and one free try of every premium tool. No card needed.
What you are actually buying
Every paid plan unlocks the same thing: every ViralNebula tool and the full paid credit allowance, and every plan is a single payment that never renews behind your back. What changes is how long it lasts. Monthly suits a channel that is still testing the waters — 30 days, and you buy again only if you want more. 6 Months covers a fixed six-month run and adds VidNebu credits so you can turn scripts into finished videos. Lifetime never expires and comes with the largest VidNebu credit bundle, for creators who already know this is part of how they work.
Checkout runs through PayPal, which also accepts debit and credit cards, and a creator or referral code can be applied before you pay if you have one. Access and credits are granted immediately once payment clears, which is also why purchases are non-refundable — the full terms are on the refund policy page. The free tier exists precisely so that decision is an informed one.
What free actually includes
A free account gets 300 AI credits per day and 900 per month. That is a working allowance, not a teaser: it covers continuing use of the Idea Generator and the Video SEO Optimizer. Every other premium tool grants one lifetime free run — one real script, one real thumbnail, one real competitor breakdown — so you judge the output on your own topic rather than on a demo.
What upgrading changes
A paid account raises the AI allowance to 1,000 credits per day and 30,000 per month, and adds a separate growth allowance of 200 per day and 6,000 per month. The one-run limits disappear: the Script Writer, Thumbnail Generator, Voice Generator and every research tool run on ordinary credits from then on.
Two buckets, two jobs
AI credits pay for generation — ideas at 5, a full script at 50, a thumbnail at 30. Growth credits, at 10 per run, pay for the tools that also read YouTube's official public Data API: Competitor Spy, Viral Hunter, Keyword Research, Channel Audit, Audience Voice, Video Diagnosis, Hook Optimizer and Assets Grabber. Keeping them apart means a research-heavy week cannot eat the credits you needed for scripts.
Failures are free
Credits are reserved before a run and refunded automatically if the generation fails, so an overloaded model or a timeout never costs you anything. The same rule applies whether you run a tool in the browser or through the Cloud Connector from your AI assistant, since both paths go through the same credit system.
Comparing this against a subscription you already pay for
Most YouTube software measures a channel: keyword scores, analytics overlays, bulk edits, thumbnail tests. ViralNebula produces the video — idea, script, voice, thumbnail, SEO package — so it is usually a complement to an analytics extension rather than a replacement for one. We keep side-by-side breakdowns that say so plainly, including where the other tool is still the better pick: the vidIQ comparison, the TubeBuddy comparison, or every comparison we publish. If you would rather see the workflow first, the how-to-use guide walks through a full video end to end.
Pricing and credit questions
Is ViralNebula a subscription?
No. All three paid plans are one-time payments that unlock the same tools and credits, and none of them renews automatically. Monthly gives 30 days of access, 6 Months gives 180 days, and Lifetime never expires.
What happens when my Monthly or 6 Months plan ends?
Nothing is charged automatically. When the period ends the account returns to the free tier and nothing you generated is deleted. Buy any plan again — even before it ends — and the new days are added on top of the time you have left.
What are the VidNebu credits on the 6 Months and Lifetime plans?
VidNebu is our script-to-video tool. The 6 Months plan includes 1,000 VidNebu credits, enough to create 3 full-length videos. The Lifetime plan includes 2,500 credits, enough for up to 10 full-length videos of around 10 minutes each. Our team adds the credits to your VidNebu account after purchase.
Does Lifetime really mean unlimited?
Lifetime means access never expires — there is no renewal date. Usage still follows the same daily and monthly credit allowance as every paid plan, and that allowance resets every day and every month for as long as the account exists.
What can I do on the free tier?
Free accounts get 300 AI credits per day and 900 per month, which covers ongoing use of the Idea Generator and the Video SEO Optimizer. Every other premium tool gives a free account exactly one lifetime run so you can see the real output before deciding, after which that tool asks you to upgrade.
How many credits does each tool cost?
A batch of ideas costs 5 credits, a full script costs 50, a thumbnail costs 30, and the growth and analysis tools cost 10 per run. Paid accounts get 1,000 AI credits per day and 30,000 per month, plus a separate growth allowance of 200 per day and 6,000 per month.
What are growth credits and why are they separate?
Growth credits cover the tools that read YouTube's official public Data API rather than only calling the AI model — Competitor Spy, Viral Hunter, Keyword Research, Channel Audit, Audience Voice, Video Diagnosis, Hook Optimizer and Assets Grabber. That allowance is paid-only: free accounts have a growth balance of zero, which is why those tools are gated behind the one free try.
Do I lose credits when a generation fails?
No. Credits are reserved before a request runs and refunded automatically if the generation fails, so a model error or a timeout never costs you anything.
Can I get a refund after buying?
No. Because access and credits are granted instantly at checkout, purchases are non-refundable — that is why the free tier exists, so you can test the tools on your own topics before paying. Genuine billing errors such as a duplicate charge are handled separately through the contact form.
