TubeChef Plan	Price	Credits	Best For

Pro	$55.99/month	6,600	Active creators
VIP	$116.99/month	15,000	Power users & agencies

Let's explore each TubeChef plan in detail.

TubeChef Starter Plan - $18/month

The TubeChef Starter plan is perfect for creators just beginning their automation journey.

TubeChef Starter Includes:

1,500 credits/month

Who Should Choose TubeChef Starter:

New YouTube creators

Those testing TubeChef's full features
Creators making 2-4 videos/month

TubeChef Starter ROI: At $18/month for 1,500 credits, you're paying roughly $0.01 per credit—far cheaper than any freelancer.

TubeChef Pro Plan - $55.99/month

TubeChef Pro Includes:

6,600 credits/month
