Vunote is for students and researchers who turn YouTube lectures into timestamped notes, with a free 500-credit start and Pro at $9 per month.
Vunote runs on AI credits. The Free plan is a one-time grant of 500 credits that does not refill. Pro costs $9 per month for 3,000 credits, Plus is $29 per month for 12,000 and Ultra is $49 per month for 60,000. A yearly toggle saves two months. Insights and reports are limited to Plus and Ultra, and credits on paid plans reset monthly without rolling over.
Verified .edu students can take the Student plan at $48 per year. When credits run out, AI features lock until you upgrade or buy a credit pack. A free trial and tax treatment are not stated in our data. Prices checked on 2026-09-29.
