Frequently asked questions

Everything people usually ask before or after running the free check.

Is Aircheck affiliated with YouTube or Google?

No. Aircheck is an independent tool built from YouTube's publicly published monetization policy. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google, and our results aren't an official determination of your channel's status.

How accurate is my risk score?

Your score reflects how your self-reported answers line up with the specific practices YouTube's inauthentic-content policy names — upload cadence, template reuse, AI-disclosure, commentary share, and niche. It's a strong directional signal, not a guarantee: only YouTube's own internal review can make a final monetization decision.

Do I need to enter my channel URL or connect my YouTube account?

No. The free check is just six questions about how you make your videos — no login, no channel URL, no API access required.

What's the difference between the free check and the paid plans?

The free check gives you an overall score and general tips. The Creator plan adds a per-question breakdown showing exactly which answer triggered which policy language, a downloadable report, and niche-specific policy alerts. The Agency plan adds bulk checking and white-labeled reporting across an entire roster of channels. See the Pricing page for details.

Does Aircheck use AI to generate my feedback?

Some of the personalized feedback in your results is generated with the help of an AI model, based on the answers you selected. It's meant to be a helpful starting point, not a definitive or professional judgment — see our Terms of Service for details.

What happens to my quiz answers and email address?

We only collect what's needed to show you your result and, if you opt in, send policy-change alerts. We don't sell your data. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Can I cancel a paid plan, and are payments refundable?

Yes, you can cancel anytime and keep access through the period you already paid for. Payments are generally non-refundable once a billing period has started — see the Terms of Service for the specifics.

My score was high risk — what do I do now?

Start with the specific tips shown next to each flagged answer in your results — they're built from the exact policy language that triggered the flag. If you've already been flagged by YouTube, appealing promptly through YouTube Studio's Monetization tab tends to go better than waiting.
