A few things
worth knowing.

SponsorSkip is in beta. The Chrome Web Store link will appear here when the public release is available.

Sponsor reads recorded inside YouTube videos. YouTube-served ads, such as pre-roll ads, are separate.

SponsorSkip analyzes the video’s transcript. SponsorBlock uses viewer-submitted timestamps. SponsorSkip can analyze a captioned video before anyone has marked its sponsor segments.

The AI beta processes available captions through our backend and an AI provider. Completed results are saved, so the same video and transcript don’t need to be analyzed again.

An unreleased version detected about 98% of clearly assessable sponsor and self-promotion time in 20 development videos. A follow-up test on 20 previously unseen English-language videos totaling about 6 hours 44 minutes detected about 71%, so the earlier result did not carry over. These are transcript-based tests with AI-assisted reference annotations, not a general accuracy guarantee.

Caption text is processed for the analysis and kept temporarily while a job is pending. We retain video IDs, transcript hashes, sponsor timings and account usage. Transcript search and your local corrections stay in the extension.

You get 10 different videos once per account. Watching the same video again uses no extra allowance. A successful analysis with no sponsor still counts; a technical failure does not use a place permanently.

€3.99 per month or €39.99 per year. Checkout and subscription management use Stripe.

Transcript analysis needs usable YouTube captions. If they are unavailable, the video may not be eligible for analysis.
