Request pricing
VDA uses pay-as-you-go request pricing by output format, including MP3, M4A, MP4 quality levels, VTT subtitles, and SRT transcripts.
Ultrathink and loader.to API Pricing Comparison
Compare migration, request pricing, and dashboard workflows for loader-compatible API customers.
First request
GET
Replace VIDEO_ID and YOUR_API_KEY, run the request, then pass the returned id to /ajax/progress.php. At progress 1000, use download_url only when success is 1 or true; otherwise stop and show the error.
curl --get "https://p.savenow.to/ajax/download.php" \
--data-urlencode "url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" \
--data "format=mp3" \
--data "apikey=YOUR_API_KEY"Duration multipliers
Long videos are estimated against each format base duration. Extended-duration requests can apply 3x, 5x, then additional 2x tiers per 90 minutes.
Dashboard billing
API keys, wallet credit, coupon credits, top-ups, payment callbacks, usage history, and balance changes stay visible in the VDA dashboard.
OpenAPI and docs access
Migration work can start from the public REST docs, OpenAPI YAML, OpenAPI JSON, and legacy-compatible endpoint examples.
Read the REST docsMigration steps
Inventory current Ultrathink, loader.to, or RapidAPI calls, map output formats to VDA formats, create an API key, run one download request, then verify progress polling and dashboard balance history.
Next step
Use the pricing calculator to estimate a real workload, then continue to signup with the selected format, request volume, and duration values preserved.

If the decision is still between direct VDA accounts, marketplace access, hosted endpoints, and research-led provider selection, use the broader SaaS comparison page.

Pricing mechanics
Format pricing
Compare MP3, MP4, subtitles, transcripts, and higher-resolution output costs as per-request wallet deductions.
Duration rules
Check whether long-video pricing changes the total cost before moving a workload from Ultrathink, loader.to, or RapidAPI.
Balance planning
Estimate how many matching requests a planning balance covers before creating production traffic.
Migration trust checks
Dashboard billing
Review top-ups, payment callbacks, usage history, and balance changes in one account view.
Docs access
Use public OpenAPI specs and REST examples without waiting for a marketplace listing page.
Endpoint compatibility
Keep legacy-compatible download, progress, subtitle, and embed endpoint shapes available while migrating.

Important details
No marketplace wrapper required
Direct VDA accounts use first-party API keys and wallet balance instead of a RapidAPI subscription wrapper.
Compare exact workload shape
Request format and duration affect total cost more than provider labels, so estimate with your real output mix.
Preserve signup context
The pricing calculator can carry the selected estimate into the registration flow.

Where do examples run?
Use p.savenow.to for public API examples unless your dashboard shows a custom account hostname.
How do I add credit?
Open the dashboard, create a top-up payment, or redeem a coupon. Balance changes are shown in the account history.
Are old endpoints still supported?
Yes. The .php compatibility endpoints remain active for existing integrations and embedded clients.
