Frequently asked questions
Does Channel Farm schedule uploads to YouTube?
We could not verify that from their public site in October 2026. Do not treat it as a yes or a no. SocialGrovv schedules an approved video to a connected YouTube channel on a paid plan.
Does SocialGrovv clone voices or render at 1440p?
No. We use ElevenLabs catalog voices, not a clone, and we do not claim a 1440p master or a full editor. Pick Channel Farm if those are requirements.
What does Channel Farm cost?
Checked October 2026: credit plans from about $49–$61 per month once list price and a sale ending Oct 31 are both considered. Higher tiers were listed around $124, $311, and $874, with sale figures at $99, $249, and $699. Verify on the vendor site.
Is there a free trial?
Channel Farm's FAQ says no. SocialGrovv offers a 7-day trial with 100 credits. Publishing unlocks on a paid plan.
Do they make Shorts?
Their homepage frames Shorts as reach rather than revenue and long-form as what they make. 9:16 short-form is listed as a plan feature. Confirm the current plan table on their site.
