vidfora has three plans. The dividing line isn't how good a feature is — it's how expensive it is to run. Anything we can serve cheaply is free; the paid tiers cover live YouTube analysis and AI generation.

Free
Genuinely useful, not a trial. The complete outlier feed with filtering and sorting, saved boards, every Creator Tool, tracking for 5 channels, and one full run through Thumbnail Studio ending in a real exported thumbnail.
If your research is "find breakout videos in my niche and study their packaging," Free covers it indefinitely.
Plus — $29/mo
The research suite. Unlimited channel tracking, the advanced packaging filters (channel size, duration, views-per-sub), Niche Explorer, Thumbnail Search, unlimited Live Analyze, and the AI Thumbnail Studio with 300 monthly credits.
Choose Plus if thumbnails and competitive research are where your time goes.
Pro — $69/mo
Everything in Plus, plus the full AI suite — the AI Title and Idea generators — and Niche Hunter for live niche discovery. 1,000 monthly credits shared across every AI tool, the Pro trend digest, and priority support.
Choose Pro if you're publishing regularly and want AI across the whole workflow, or you're actively hunting for a niche to expand into.
