Frequently asked questions
How much does the YouTube thumbnail maker cost?
Business is $70/month at list price and includes 180 thumbnail generations from 5,400 AI credits, unlimited channels, and rollover up to 16,200 credits. Pro is $35/month (90 thumbnails, 10 channels); Starter is $12/month (20 thumbnails, 3 channels). The free tier includes 10 generations. Regional pricing is applied automatically.
Do I need graphic design experience or prompts?
No. Braiv is a zero-prompt thumbnail creator. It reads your video title or transcript and generates designs suited to the content, then lets you score and adjust before publishing.
How many thumbnails can a content team generate each month?
Business covers 180 thumbnail generations per month. Unused credits roll over up to 16,200, and overage is billed at $0.60 per 60 credits rather than blocked. That is the capacity profile for channels shipping daily or agencies running multiple brands.
