Pay for Premium with your earnings

Premium is paid from your earnings balance. Choose 30 days for $9.99 or one year for $79. The price is taken from your balance and the time is added at once. It never renews by itself.

How to buy Premium

1. Open Earnings in your studio. You can also use the Premium page, which shows the option once your balance covers a month.
2. Press Get a month of Premium, or choose 30 days or 1 year on your billing page.
3. Premium starts at once, and a message shows the date it runs until.

If your balance is too low

The Earnings page tells you how much more you need. Tips and pool shares will add to it over time.

How the 30 days add up

• If you already have Premium, the 30 days are added to the end of it.
• You can buy again at any time to stack more months.
• Nothing renews. When the time runs out, you go back to a free account unless you buy again.
• The ledger shows each purchase as Premium membership, with the new end date.

Receipts

Each purchase has a printable receipt on your billing page. See billing and receipts.

Is it worth it for a creator?

Premium raises your upload, editing, tool and import limits by ten times. For an active creator, that can matter more than the 4K playback.

• 100 new videos a day instead of 10.
• 100 editor saves a day instead of 10.
• 100 tool jobs and 100 link imports a day instead of 10.
• 20 YouTube imports a day instead of 5.
• No promoted placements on the home page.

The full list is in what Premium includes.
