By the Faceless Channel team · Updated October 16, 2026 · 30 entries
Everything that changed for creators, in plain language — the iOS app, the web app, the crew's AI pipeline, plans and the website. Newest first.
October 12–18, 2026
pricingPlans are now sized in minutes of video (about 65 credits a minute): Starter ~1–2 minutes, Creator ~7, Studio ~20 — and a new Pro plan at $129 for ~45 minutes a month with several channels, each with its own crew.
guideThe how-to-start guide is now the complete version: three questions before you start, what each route costs, a realistic 90-day plan, the three numbers that matter, and YouTube's 2026 rules for AI video.
guideFour new free guides: the best faceless niches (12 scored), how to edit a faceless video, AI faceless channels — what works and what gets removed, and the free 8-lesson course.
toolsThree free tools: a channel name generator, an ideas generator with 600 story briefs (with a 'Make this video' button that opens the app with the brief filled in), and an earnings estimator that shows a low–typical–high range from published RPM figures with every assumption editable. All run in your browser — instant, no sign-up.
October 5–11, 2026
infraUpdates now roll out with no interruption — the site stays up while a new version starts, and an in-progress build is no longer lost if a deploy lands mid-way.
Web appThe web app now follows the same 12 steps as the iOS app — Topic, Format, Structure, Look, Narrator, Script, Cast, Cuts, Storyboard, Review, Render, Share — and works on phones: the side menu becomes a horizontal stepper on small screens.
Web appMy Videos shows a thumbnail for every video.
WebsiteNew Contact page — reach us without an email address being published.
WebsiteTerms of Service and Privacy Policy updated (effective October 6, 2026).
iOS appStoryboard: "Continue" now tells you how many scenes are unreviewed and offers to approve them all as drawn.
iOS appPlayback review: auto-advance keeps playing from scene to scene; toggles respond the instant you touch them.
iOS appPlay scene starts in well under a second — only the scene's slice of the narration is fetched first, the rest loads in the background.
iOS appScene Editor: Previous · Next · Next unapproved buttons replace the vertical swipe; double-tap approves everywhere.
September 28 – October 4, 2026
iOS appPlayback review mode rebuilt for speed: switching between All options and Approved only is instant.
iOS appStoryboard: a short legend explains the gestures — swipe sideways for a scene's options, tap to view, double-tap to approve.
iOS appThree ways to review a storyboard: Filmstrip, Editor (full-screen scene editor with Visuals and Sound tools) and Playback (landscape, play-and-pick).
The crewStoryboards draw up to 8 scenes at once and the counter updates as each finishes — long videos that took an hour now take minutes.
The crewNarration records several chunks in parallel; a 45-minute script is voiced in about a minute.
The crewChanging your narrator after narration exists now re-records the whole video in the new voice (and re-times the scenes) with one tap.
WebsiteNew pages: a sourced comparison of 7 faceless-video tools, the 7 best tools for faceless channels in 2026, and guides on starting a faceless channel and 30 channel ideas.
iOS appScene Editor gains the full toolkit from the web app: versions strip, Play scene, background sound and sound effects, Point & Edit, Fix text, Move line, narration volume.
iOS appWeb appInfo tips: short, dismissable hints on each screen (configured by us, remembered per account).
Plans & creditsPause your subscription for up to 60 days without losing banked credits; cancel any time from the app.
iOS appPlans & credits now live inside the app — upgrade, switch or top up without leaving it.
The crewReal public figures get a photo-based likeness portrait by default; scenes no longer contain garbled signage text.
September 21–27, 2026
iOS appStoryboard parity with the web: per-scene regenerate, 3 ideas, modify, from a prompt or photo, feature a character, set at a location, flag, bulk approve and redo.
The crewScript length is voice-aware: your target length × the chosen narrator's measured pace sets the word count; long scripts are written in sections so 45-minute documentaries come out full length.
iOS appCast & Places and Cuts steps added to the iOS wizard; Standard Cut is the default transition.
iOS appHome screen lists your videos with live build progress; interrupted storyboards resume from the last drawn scene.
WebsitePlans & creditsfacelesschannel.com is live: invite-only beta, Google sign-in, Stripe billing (Creator $29 / Studio $79), credit ledger shown before every render.
