Changelog

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Everything we've shipped, newest first — written and shipped by James Pullara, founder of VidRankr.

Homepage cleanup

  • Moved the free title + tag tool out of the hero into its own section below the product screenshot, so the hero has one main action.
  • Added a "Who VidRankr is not for" section so mismatched users can self-select out before starting a trial.
  • Added a plain answer to the "all-in-one vs dedicated tools" question and a new one on why VidRankr costs money when free tag generators exist.
  • Dropped the struck-through "Save 50%" badge on monthly plans — monthly now shows the real price, and the yearly toggle shows the real saving (2 months free).

Cardless trial on the results screen

  • The free 7-day pass can now be claimed directly on the results screen — email only, no credit card, no separate checkout page.
  • Payment-failed recovery email plus a past-due banner with an "Update payment method" button on the Billing page.

Founder story

  • Added the founder photo and story to the homepage and a full /about page.
  • Email confirmation removed from signup — new accounts land straight in the app.

Comparison pages and pricing clarity

  • Published VidRankr vs TubeBuddy, vs vidIQ, and vs Canva comparison pages.
  • Added a plan comparison table and the separate-tools cost anchor (~$160/mo separately vs Pro at $49.99/mo).

Video Forge and Character Studio

  • Talking-head (UGC) presenter videos with AI voiceover and burned-in captions.
  • Character Studio: lock a face, wardrobe and voice and reuse the same cast across scenes.
  • Dialogue Mode and split-screen fillers added to Video Forge.

Social Rank

  • TikTok, Instagram and Facebook analytics, hashtag research and cross-platform scheduled posting.
