Claims we checked

The published claim, then what we found. Live statuses. How we review

The claim

Content published during the subscription is cleared forever

What we found

Fine print

Only if the channel was safelisted and the plan terms were followed; anything published after the end is not cleared, and tracks downloaded but unused during the term are not covered.

Source · checked Nov 14, 2026

The claim

Music without claims on your channel

What we found

Fine print

Reddit posters with active, safelisted subscriptions report Content ID flags from third parties, and support says a flag does not affect reach.

The claim

30 days free

What we found

Fine print

The plan page advertises it; charges made before cancelling are non-refundable per the help center, so the free window is the only trial.

The claim

Monetize your channel

What we found

Verified

The plan page and FAQ say one channel per platform can be monetized on Creator; Pro covers three.
