They total it at $74 a month, noting free tiers and annual billing change the numbers.
What tools do you need?
ChatGPT (ai assistant for ideas, scripts and planning); Claude (ai assistant for writing, products and building small tools); ElevenLabs (ai voice-over).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: ChatGPT, Claude, ElevenLabs have a free plan. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
