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.

SponsorSkip 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.

In our September 2026 test on 20 new English-language videos, SponsorSkip automatically skipped 95% of known sponsor time, while 0.08 seconds of normal content were skipped by mistake. The reference was built from the videos’ captions with AI review, and uncertain time was excluded. Results on other videos, channels and languages can differ; it is not an 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.

Pro allows up to 200 new video analyses a month; Ultra up to 1,000, with priority in the analysis queue. Videos already analyzed, by you or anyone else, don’t count on Pro and Ultra. On the free plan, every video you play counts once toward your 20, even if it was analyzed before. Paid allowances renew on the 1st of every month (UTC), including on yearly plans. Transcript search and one-click undo are included.

Rarely. The video counts are the limits you plan with. Each paid plan also has a monthly safety limit on AI processing costs. With typical YouTube videos you reach the video count first; if many of your videos are very long, like multi-hour podcasts, or analyses keep failing, new analyses can pause earlier. They resume on the 1st of the next month, and saved results stay available.

Your first 20 videos are free, with no payment details needed. Pro costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year and includes up to 200 new video analyses per month. Ultra costs $12.99 per month or $129.99 per year and includes up to 1,000 new video analyses per month; Ultra analyses are processed first when the queue is busy. Prices are in USD. Paid allowances renew on the 1st of every month (UTC), including on yearly plans, and videos already analyzed by you or anyone else don’t count. A monthly safety limit on AI processing also applies; with typical videos you reach the video count first. Applicable taxes are added at checkout. Payments are handled by Paddle.

Monthly plans renew every month; yearly plans renew once a year. Cancel before your next renewal to stop the next charge. Access continues until the end of the paid period.

For now, SponsorSkip analyzes English-language videos with usable YouTube captions. Videos in other languages, music videos, Shorts and live streams are not analyzed, so they don’t count toward your videos.
