TubeLab Pricing: RPM Filters Now Start at $39
TubeLab now sells three plans. Starter costs $29 a month, but it drops the RPM and revenue filters, trend reports and the API. The full product is Pro at $39 a month, or $348 a year.
TubeLab's Niche Finder filters channels by RPM, so check those numbers against our RPM benchmarks comparison, where published RPM figures for the same niche disagree by up to 7x.
TL;DR
How much does TubeLab cost?
- •Starter costs $29/month or $288/year with 200 credits a month. It has no RPM, revenue or audience filters, no trend reports and no API.
- •Pro costs $39/month or $348/year with 400 credits a month, all filters, trend reports and API access.
- •Team costs $100/month or $960/year with 1,000 credits a month and up to 10 members.
- •The MCP server is on every plan. Yearly billing saves three months.
- •There is no free trial, by design. Refunds are full only within 24 to 48 hours.
What does TubeLab cost per month?
Three plans, each with monthly or yearly billing. Starter is $29 a month or $288 a year. Pro is $39 a month or $348 a year. Team is $100 a month or $960 a year, and supports up to 10 members. Yearly billing works out at $24, $29 and $80 a month.
The real pricing decision is Starter or Pro. Starter keeps the Niche Finder, Outliers Finder, rank tracker and MCP server, but it locks the monetization, revenue, RPM and audience filters, trend reports, niche reports, the scriptwriter and the API. If you came to TubeLab to find high-RPM faceless niches, you need Pro.

What do the three plans include?
Starter
$29/month, 200 credits a month
$288/year billed yearly, which is $24/month
Niche Finder and Outliers Finder with limited filters, trending formats, saved searches, AI ideation, the rank tracker (50 tracked keywords, 50 instant checks), the MCP server and one YouTube channel. Support runs through the community Discord.
Starter leaves out the monetization, revenue, RPM and audience filters, niche reports, trend reports, the monetization tracker, the scriptwriter and the API. For faceless niche picking, the RPM filter is the reason most people buy TubeLab, and it is not on this plan.
Pro
Full feature set starts here$39/month, 400 credits a month
$348/year billed yearly, which is $29/month
Everything in Starter with all filters unlocked, plus weekly niche reports, scheduled trend reports, the monetization tracker, up to 16 scripts a month, API access, 100 tracked keywords and five YouTube channels. Support moves to email.
This is the plan that matches what TubeLab used to sell as Pro at $29. The same feature set now costs $10 more a month.
Team
$100/month, 1,000 credits a month
$960/year billed yearly, which is $80/month
Everything in Pro, plus up to 10 members, up to 40 scripts a month, 500 tracked keywords, 10 YouTube channels, a 1-on-1 onboarding call and a priority Slack channel.
At 10 members, that is $8 to $10 per person per month. Reasonable for an agency, overkill for a duo.
What does a TubeLab credit buy?
TubeLab publishes its credit costs, which is more transparent than most tools in this category. These are the numbers to price your workflow against before you pick a plan.
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| Idea generation | 1 |
| Trend report generation (Pro and Team) | 25 |
| API outliers request | 2 |
| API channels request | 5 |
| API niche scan, fast | 50 |
| API niche scan, standard | 100 |
| API general request | Free |
| MCP search tools | 2 to 5 |
| MCP channel info, transcripts, comments | Free |
Run one example. On Pro you have 400 credits a month. Sixteen trend reports at 25 credits each uses all of them. Four standard API niche scans at 100 credits each does the same. On Starter, 200 credits buys 40 to 100 MCP searches, or 200 AI ideas. TubeLab's pricing table lists credits at $0.15 each on Starter and $0.10 on Pro and Team, so Pro gets twice the credits for $10 more.
What does the pricing page not spell out?
The $29 plan is no longer the full product
Until this change, $29 a month bought every TubeLab feature. Now $29 buys Starter, which drops the RPM, revenue, monetization and audience filters from both finders, plus trend reports, niche reports and the API. The old all-features plan is Pro at $39 a month, or $348 a year.
The yearly discount shrank
Yearly billing now saves three months on every plan: $60 a year on Starter, $120 on Pro and $240 on Team. The old ladder cut Pro to $14.90 a month on annual billing. That deal is gone.
There is no free trial, and the reason is honest
TubeLab's FAQ says there is no free trial for the Niche Finder, because otherwise all the niches would get saturated. The value is in surfacing niches before everyone else does, and free access would erode that. The refund policy is the closest thing to a trial: a full refund within 24 to 48 hours, then 50% within 15 days. Renewals are not refunded.
Trend reports cost 25 credits each, and only Pro has them
Idea generation costs 1 credit, but a trend report costs 25. On Pro with 400 credits, that is 16 trend reports a month if you do nothing else. Starter cannot run them at all.
API niche scans burn credits fast
A fast niche scan through the API costs 50 credits and a standard one costs 100. On Pro that is four standard scans a month. Team raises it to ten. Anyone automating research should price the plan on scans, not seats.
Credits carry over, briefly
Monthly credits stay usable for up to two months, so January credits still work in February. Yearly plans get the whole year's credits up front, and they stay active for a month into the next year. Top-up credits stay valid while your subscription is active.
Which TubeLab plan do you need?
| Your situation | Plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo creator who wants RPM filters to pick a faceless niche | Pro, yearly | RPM and revenue filters start on Pro. $348 a year works out at $29 a month. |
| You mainly want the MCP server in Claude or ChatGPT | Starter | The MCP server is on every plan, and transcripts, comments and channel info cost no credits. 200 credits covers 40 to 100 searches. |
| You want to try before committing | Not possible | There is no free trial by design. Starter at $29 is the cheapest way in, with a full refund only inside 24 to 48 hours. |
| Automating research through the API or n8n | Pro at minimum | Starter has no API. Pro's 400 credits cover four standard niche scans a month. |
| Agency with several people doing research | Team | Up to 10 members and 1,000 credits a month. Per-person cost lands around $8 to $10 a month. |
In Context
How does TubeLab pricing compare with the alternatives?
TubeLab's full product now costs $39 a month or $348 a year. It still bundles a rank tracker and an MCP server, and Team stays cheap per seat for agencies. The trade-offs are the missing free trial, the Starter plan that locks the RPM filters, and the credit ceiling, which binds fast if you automate.
OutlierKit (the tool I build) is made for experts, consultants and coaches who run a channel to share what they know. It starts at $49 a month for Hobby, or $299 a year, with a free trial of 30 credits and no card. Every plan and the trial include the packaging and script tools: before you record, it writes 16 titles ranked against real breakout videos near your topic, writes the description and picks hashtags, writes chapter titles, and reviews the script you wrote. On yearly billing, Hobby costs $11 more than TubeLab Starter ($288) and $49 less than TubeLab Pro ($348). The OutlierKit MCP server and API need Pro at $99 a month or $599 a year, while TubeLab puts its MCP server on the $29 Starter plan. Both tools do niche and outlier research, so the honest comparison is about data depth and workflow rather than one being better. I have written that out properly in TubeLab vs OutlierKit.

Prices come from the plan catalog the page loads (Starter v2, Pro v2 and Team), and features per plan come from its comparison table. The per-plan maths (trend reports, niche scans or MCP searches per month) divides the published credit costs into each plan's monthly credits. Plans change, so confirm before buying.
