FAQ

Common questions

What exactly does Stalk-AI do?

Stalk-AI monitors YouTube channels, Twitch streams and Reddit subreddits in your niche. Our AI cross-analyzes all the content to detect trending topics, winning formats and growth opportunities — and delivers it as a simple daily digest you can act on.

How is this different from VidIQ or TubeBuddy?

VidIQ and TubeBuddy focus on optimizing YOUR channel — SEO, tags, thumbnails. Stalk-AI focuses on understanding your NICHE — what topics are trending, what competitors are doing, and where the opportunities are. They optimize execution; we inform strategy. They're complementary tools.

Do I need to be a big creator to benefit?

Not at all. Stalk-AI is most valuable for creators who are growing — knowing which topics and formats are working in your niche helps you make every video count, regardless of your current audience size.

How often are the digests updated?

Free users get 1 manual digest per day. Pro and Ultra users receive an automated AI digest every morning via email, plus a weekly trend report every Monday comparing this week vs last week. All plans can generate digests on-demand from the dashboard anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no hidden fees. Cancel from your settings page and keep access until the end of your billing period.

What's "Deep Video Analysis" in the Ultra plan?

Powered by Gemini 2.5, it watches the full YouTube video and analyzes the hook, structure, pacing and why it performed well — giving you a breakdown of what you can replicate in your own content.

Stop scrolling for ideas. Start knowing.

Join creators who wake up every morning knowing exactly what to create. Free forever — no credit card needed.
