No! We provide API keys by default so you can start creating immediately. No technical setup required. BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) is an optional power-user feature that gives you 5x more videos per month when you provide your own OpenAI, Anthropic, and ElevenLabs API keys.

BYOK gives you 5x more videos per month! Free: 8 → 40 videos/month. Creator: 30 → 150 videos/month. Pro: 85 → 425 videos/month. Business: 300 → 1,500 videos/month. You also get complete transparency - you pay AI providers directly with zero markup from us, and you can monitor your exact AI costs in real-time. Note: BYOK users have a 10 videos/hour rate limit to prevent compute abuse.

It's simple! Sign up for accounts at openai.com, anthropic.com, and elevenlabs.io to get your API keys. Then go to your Klipwise dashboard settings and add the keys. Once added, you'll get 5x your monthly quota (e.g., Free tier: 8 → 40 videos/month). You can add or remove keys anytime - no commitment required.

For YouTube/Upload workflows: ~$0.11 per video (OpenAI Whisper $0.06 + Anthropic Claude $0.05). For UGC workflows: ~$0.51 per video (Claude $0.07 + ElevenLabs $0.40 + stock footage processing). These costs are paid directly to the providers when using BYOK - we never mark them up. Use our calculator above to see your exact costs.

Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade between tiers at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and give you access to more videos and features. Downgrades will apply at the start of your next billing cycle. Your existing videos and content remain accessible.

We'll notify you when you're approaching your monthly video limit. You can either upgrade to a higher tier for immediate access to more videos, or wait until your limit resets at the next billing cycle. Your existing processed content always remains accessible.

No, unused videos don't roll over to the next month. Each billing cycle gives you a fresh allocation. However, if you consistently need fewer videos, you can downgrade to a lower tier to save money.

Optional BYOK gives you the best of both worlds. Most users can start immediately with no setup using our provided API keys. Power users who want unlimited processing can opt into BYOK for complete transparency and control. You see exactly what you pay AI providers with no markup, can monitor usage in real-time, and aren't locked into bundled pricing.

Free: Community forums and documentation. Creator: Email support with 48-hour response times. Pro: Priority email support with 24-hour response times. Business: Dedicated email support with same-day response.

The Free plan lets you try all features with up to 8 upload videos per month - no credit card required. This gives you a full experience before upgrading. When you're ready for more videos and premium features (including YouTube downloads), you can upgrade to any paid plan.
