Can I sign in without Gmail?
Yes. A VidNudge account can use Hotmail, Outlook, Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo or another valid email address. A Google Account is only needed if you choose to authorize a YouTube channel for private analytics.
Do I have to connect YouTube?
No. You can explore available public channel information without a private YouTube connection. Connecting enables additional owner-only metrics, where available.
What will I see when I sign in?
A view-first dashboard showing channel views, changes since saved readings, available videos and Shorts, progress milestones, public comments, and optional deeper analytics and reports.
Can anyone join?
Yes. Create a free account, confirm your email, and sign in. Connecting your own YouTube channel is a separate, optional step.
How does the Founding Creator offer work?
Anyone can create a free VidNudge account without an invitation. The separate Founding Creator offer is reviewed individually. Email the team using the Founding Creator link to ask about eligibility. Asking does not activate complimentary Pro or start a paid subscription.
Will I need to give VidNudge my Google password?
No. Private YouTube access uses Google's own authorization process, not a password sent to VidNudge. Never email anyone your password or verification codes.
Will VidNudge make my channel grow automatically?
No analytics tool can guarantee views or subscribers. VidNudge helps you understand your results and make better-informed content decisions.
Do I have to pay to use VidNudge?
No. VidNudge Free is intended as an ongoing plan, subject to fair-use limits communicated ahead of time. Pro is an optional CA$6.99/month subscription for the saved video planning workspace. Choose it in Billing after signing in.
Will Founding Creators be charged after 90 days?
No. Complimentary Pro start and end dates will be communicated to eligible founders before their access begins. Once it ends, accounts return to Free unless creators actively purchase Pro. No card or automatic charge is required.
