What Zenblog is
Zenblog turns YouTube videos into AI-generated, search-optimized blog posts. You can connect a YouTube channel so videos are accessed without manual uploads; Zenblog then transcribes, formats, and optimizes the material. Generated posts can be reviewed and edited before publishing to a custom domain or exporting elsewhere. Blog analytics help track performance and adjust content. The service is available on the web and through an API with authenticated blog and post endpoints, public endpoints for blog information and published posts, and rate-limited requests. Its Free plan costs nothing, billed monthly, and includes one blog and 10 posts per month, but excludes custom domains and AI refinement. Launch costs $14 a month with three blogs, 100 posts monthly, advanced AI models, custom domains, AI refinement, automation for five YouTube channels, and priority support. Pro costs $36 a month with 100 blogs, unlimited posts, Premium AI, API access, automation for 10 channels, white-label options, and dedicated support. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled.
