The honest answer
Why is it free? Here’s the honest answer.
The free plan has SociableKIT branding on the widget — a small “Powered by SociableKIT” link at the bottom. That’s how we keep it free, forever.
The free plan is 1 widget, 1 source, 1,000 monthly views, and manual sync requests. Most small sites never outgrow it. When you do need more sources, automatic sync, or no branding, our paid plans start at $10/month.
No hidden costs. No trial that auto-charges. No credit card required. SociableKIT has offered a free plan since 2014, and we’re not changing that.

Common questions
Free plan FAQ
Everything you need to know about using YouTube Channel for free.
What is a YouTube Channel widget and how does it work?
A YouTube Channel widget is a small app you embed on your site to display videos from your YouTube channel in a grid, list or carousel. It uses the official YouTube API to fetch your latest uploads and keeps the feed fresh automatically. Visitors can browse your videos directly on your site, helping them stay longer and engage with your content.
How do I embed my YouTube channel on my website using SociableKIT?
Sign up for a free SociableKIT account and create a YouTube Channel widget in seconds. Customize the layout and colours to match your brand, then copy the one‑line embed code and paste it into your website builder—WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Weebly, Google Sites or any HTML page. No coding skills are required.
Does the widget automatically update when I upload new videos?
Yes. Once connected, your widget automatically pulls in new uploads so your video library stays fresh without any manual work. Automatic syncing means you only post to YouTube, and SociableKIT keeps your website up‑to‑date.
What types of YouTube content can I display?
You can display videos from your channel feed and playlists. The widget supports regular videos, shorts, live streams and playlists so visitors see everything you publish. You choose which feed or playlist to connect when creating the widget.
Can I combine multiple YouTube channels or playlists into one widget?
Yes. SociableKIT allows you to create multiple YouTube Channel widgets—one per source—and then embed them in different sections or pages. On higher plans you can aggregate feeds from several channels or playlists; simply add additional sources to your account and arrange them in separate widgets.
Do I need a YouTube API key or developer account?
No. SociableKIT handles the connection using the official YouTube API, so you don’t need to set up an API key. Just sign in with your Google account when prompted, and the widget uses secure, authorised access to fetch your channel data.
Is the YouTube Channel widget mobile‑friendly?
Yes. The widget is fully responsive and adapts automatically to desktops, tablets and smartphones. Your videos will look great on any device without additional configuration.
Can I change the design to match my website’s branding?
Absolutely. On every plan you can customize colours, fonts, spacing, layout (grid, list or carousel) and even choose dark‑mode templates. This ensures the widget looks like a natural part of your site and not a third‑party plug‑in.
Can I limit the number of videos shown or control the order?
Yes. You can choose how many videos to display and arrange them by newest or most popular. Limiting the feed helps keep your page organised and focused on recent or featured content.
Will adding a video gallery slow down my website?
No. SociableKIT’s widget uses asynchronous loading and caching techniques to keep your site fast. Videos are loaded only when needed, so the widget doesn’t block the rest of your page.
Do I need coding skills to use the YouTube Channel widget?
Not at all. SociableKIT is a no‑code solution: create the widget via a visual editor, then copy‑paste the embed code into your site. You can preview changes live and never touch a single line of code.
Which website builders does the widget support?
Our YouTube widget works with any platform that supports custom HTML or embed codes, including WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Weebly, Google Sites, SharePoint and standard HTML sites. Simply paste the embed code into the appropriate block for your platform.
Is there a free plan or trial?
Yes. You can start for free and embed a working YouTube Channel widget without providing a credit card. SociableKIT also offers a 7‑day premium trial so you can test all features before upgrading. After the trial, you can continue on the free plan or choose a paid plan.
How much does the YouTube Channel widget cost and how does pricing work?
Paid plans start at $10 per month and include unlimited views; you only pay for the number of sources you connect. Additional sources can be added for $5/month each, and higher tiers provide more sources, advanced analytics and automatic moderation. There are no long‑term commitments and you can cancel anytime.
What support options are available?
Human support is available on every plan. You can reach our team via chat or email, and paid plans include 24/7 support. We also have extensive tutorials and a knowledge base for self‑service answers.
Does the widget use the official YouTube API and is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. SociableKIT uses the official YouTube API to fetch your videos securely and legally, and it does not collect personal data. This makes the widget compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
Does SociableKIT offer analytics for my YouTube widget?
The Business plan and higher include advanced analytics that show views, clicks and engagement for each widget. These insights help you understand which videos resonate and optimise your content strategy.
How do I cancel or pause my subscription?
You can cancel any time from your account dashboard—there are no long‑term commitments or cancellation fees. After cancellation, your widgets remain active until the end of your billing period. If you prefer to pause or downgrade, you can adjust your plan in the same area.
