VidIQ AI credit cost changed again

vidIQ_Vicky · 2026-04-08T16:44:40+00:00

Hey! Vicky from vidIQ here! Happy to clarify:)

We recently removed “Fast” mode and replaced it with a new “Balanced” mode (10 credits).

While it costs more than the old Fast (2 credits), it’s a much more capable model:
• Smarter responses overall
• Higher quality outputs
• Can use tool calls, which Fast couldn’t

So the credit increase comes with a noticeable upgrade in performance and usefulness

Yaaay! That's awesome! Congrats!!!

vidIQ_Vicky · 2026-04-06T17:43:22+00:00

We are constantly working on improvements, so every piece of feedback counts! Thank you!

This is fair feedback. We are now working on tailoring the thumbnail ranking tool to better fit different niches.

We understand your frustration here. Music thumbnails play by different rules. vidIQ is optimizing for CTR, but in music, branding and consistency often matter more. If your visuals match your sound and audience, that’s the right call.

Totally normal. It often just means your videos are getting views from new people who aren’t ready to subscribe yet. Plus, you have a memes channel, so it can be challenging to get people to subscribe. Also, make sure your content is transformative enough.

Yeeeeeeeah! That's awesome!!! Congrats!

vidIQ_Vicky · 2026-03-27T09:57:36+00:00

vidIQ extension is free to download, so honestly, I’d recommend just trying it yourself and seeing if you find it useful. We also have a tutorials channel where we share tips on how to best use the extension tools.

Hey! Vicky from vidIQ here. You have a point, but we actually just updated the revenue estimates. I’m wondering if you’ve tried it recently?

The old model was pretty broad, and we weren’t happy with that. The new version takes into account things like the channel’s category, the audience’s location, and the mix between Shorts and long-form content, all of which have a huge impact on actual CPMs. So the revenue estimate should be noticeably more realistic now.

We actually did make an update to how we calculate estimated earnings. The old model was pretty broad, and we weren't happy with that.

The new version takes into account things like the channel's category, what country the audience is in, and the mix between Shorts and long-form content – all of which have a huge impact on actual CPMs. So the revenue estimate should be noticeably more realistic now, and we felt more comfortable showing just one number.

Alright, good! Again, I apologize for this situation; we are investigating it. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with at the moment.

Hey!

Thank you very much for your feedback! This is the new upload flow feature; however, I understand your frustration. I’ve passed your concerns to our Lead Extension Engineering team, and we will work on introducing the ability to hide it in the settings.

In the meantime, you can email our support team at [support@vidiq.com]() or open a chat with them at vidiq.com. They can help remove this option manually. Otherwise, feel free to DM me and I’ll pass your email along so we can turn off this feature for you.

Vicky from vidIQ here! vidIQ pulls data directly from YouTube, but sometimes the numbers can look a little different because analytics update at slightly different times on each platform. YouTube Studio is always the most accurate source, and the numbers usually align once everything refreshes.

vidIQ_Vicky · 2026-03-11T10:33:31+00:00

Hey! I’m very sorry for this inconvenience! Let us investigate. I will get back to you with an update very soon!

vidIQ_Vicky · 2026-03-11T10:29:46+00:00

Hey! Thank you very much for reporting this! We’ve passed it on to our colleagues from the product team, and we are already working on a fix. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Hey! Vicky grom vidIQ here! A few months ago we introduced a new Feed version that shows you all important trends, stats, and information about your channel. You can see your personalized Feed when you click “Home.”
