The Free Tier: Your First Taste of 4K
The free plan is your entry point into high-resolution downloading. It’s designed for casual users who need to grab a single video or test our infrastructure. There’s no sign-up required to start, and no credit card needed. You get immediate access to our core engine, but with a few intentional limitations to ensure fair usage and keep the lights on for everyone.
With the free plan, you can download any video in resolutions up to 1080p. This is perfect for mobile viewing or quick sharing. However, 4K is the future, and that’s where the premium tier unlocks the experience. Free users also encounter a single, unobtrusive ad between downloads. It’s the trade-off: quality access for casual usage, funded by the community itself. Think of it as the ultimate demo—powerful enough to handle your daily needs, clear enough to show you what you’re missing in Ultra 4K.
Batch processing is restricted to a single video at a time. This prevents automated scraping and keeps server loads manageable. It’s a deliberate design choice to protect the ecosystem and ensure speeds remain fast for every free user. For occasional downloads, this is a non-issue. For power users managing a content library, it’s a signal to upgrade.

The "Workflow" Edge
Premium isn’t just about resolution. It’s about removing friction from a repetitive task. For editors, researchers, and archivists, time spent waiting or managing formats is cost. Premium is an efficiency tool.
Prioritize reliability and format flexibility over simple access.
For Power Users
Premium Power: Unlock Your Full Workflow
4K & 8K Native Downloads
Access the highest available resolution without quality degradation. Capture every pixel for color grading, archival, or display on large screens. This is the standard for professional media libraries.
Batch Processing Engine
Queue an entire playlist or a series of research videos. Our optimized engine handles concurrent downloads without slowing down your machine, turning a 30-minute task into a 3-minute one.
Priority Infrastructure
Your requests are processed through dedicated server channels. This translates to consistent download speeds, even during peak global hours, and faster resolution of any rare source issues.
What would change our view? If a major video platform significantly changes its protocol (e.g., DASH encryption), premium access allows us to prioritize development of a patch to restore functionality for our paid users first.

Which Plan Is Right For You?
You download videos once in a while for personal viewing. You're happy with 1080p and don't mind an occasional ad. It's perfect for students or casual users.
You create content, manage a digital library, or need 4K for professional work. The time saved on batch processing alone often justifies the monthly cost.
Start with Free to test the source compatibility. If you hit a limit, upgrading is instant. There's no annual lock-in—cancel anytime.
Common Downloading Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
The "Too Many Tabs" Trap
Running 20 download tabs simultaneously can trigger rate limits on source sites, causing failures. Solution: Use the Premium batch processor for queued, managed downloads.
Ignoring Format Types
Downloading a 4K video in a low-bitrate format is pointless. Solution: Check the source's native format. Our Premium plan shows exact bitrate/codec data before download.
Using Unreliable Sources
Some obscure sites change URLs hourly. Solution: Focus on the "Supported Sources" list (see our How It Works page). We maintain active checks on top platforms.
Abandoning Slow Queues
Free queue times can spike during global evenings. Solution: Upgrade to Premium for reserved server bandwidth, ensuring predictable, fast transfers.
