Every account gets 100 free credits, no card needed. The free transcript tool on the site needs no account at all."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What counts as a credit?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"One successful transcript is one credit. A summary is 2 for most videos (the transcript plus the summary); summaries of videos longer than about 25 minutes cost about 1 more per further 45 minutes. Language lists and usage checks are free. Search and playlist listings are free on paid plans and credit packs; the Free plan gets 10 a day, then 1 credit each.

Subscribers can top up on any plan. Without a subscription, a $45 pack buys 25,000 ($1.80 per 1,000, under ScrapeCreators' $1.88). Entry plans elsewhere cost $5 per 1,000 (TranscriptAPI.com, Supadata), $9.99 (youtube-transcript.io), and about $10 (a popular Apify actor), as listed in October 2026. ScrapeCreators' largest packs go lower at very high volume."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there a YouTube transcript API that handles proxies?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. TranscriptYT routes every request through rotating residential proxies and retries blocked fetches on a fresh IP, from $1.58 per 1,000 transcripts. You don't buy or manage proxies, and it works from AWS, GCP, Vercel, and other cloud hosts that YouTube usually blocks."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is there a YouTube transcript MCP server?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. TranscriptYT's hosted YouTube transcript MCP server at https://transcript-yt.com/mcp gives Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP client 6 tools: transcripts, summaries, search, playlists, languages, and usage. It uses the same API key: 100 transcripts free, then from $1.58 per 1,000."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I get a whole playlist or channel?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. List it with /v1/playlist (free on paid plans), or fetch up to 50 transcripts in one call with /v1/transcripts."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What happens if I run out of credits?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Requests return an error instead of charging you. Upgrade, top up on any paid plan, or buy a credit pack from $45 (no subscription needed)."}}]}]
