# October 2026: What's Changing?
## We recently announced changes to Premium QC access across every Filmhub plan, along with a new plan option and a new Asset Adjustment Service. Below, you'll find answers to common questions about these changes.
#### Why is Filmhub making these changes?
Our tech team has been busy building tools to make it easier, faster, and cheaper for you to prepare your assets for distribution. These innovations are enabling us to reduce operational costs, and we can pass some of the benefits directly on to you, our clients.
We've also renamed our plans to make them clearer: Core is now Free, Plus is now Premium, and Pro is now Premium Plus. This is a naming change only; it does not affect your features or pricing.
#### We're introducing [Basic](https://help.filmhub.com/plans?hsLang=en), a new plan at $499/year, less than the price a single Premium QC credits used to cost.
Basic is a new plan at $499/year, the same price a single Premium QC credit used to cost. Basic includes:
- 5 Premium QC credits per year
- [Asset Adjustment Service](https://help.filmhub.com/asset-adjustment-service?hsLang=en)
- Everything included in Free
Basic does not include email or chat support, or any additional reporting beyond Free.
#### What's changing for the Free plan?
- Standard QC remains included and free.
- Premium QC is no longer available as a one-time purchase for Free plan clients.
- Free plan clients receive a QC report noting any issues that would need to be resolved but does not include any fixes.
- Free plan titles are not eligible for premium channel pitch consideration unless the client upgrades to a paid plan and the title passes Premium QC.
#### What's changing for the Premium plan?
- Premium clients now receive 10 Premium QC credits per year, up from 1.
- Asset Adjustment Service is now included.
- All other Premium features remain unchanged.
#### What's changing for the Premium Plus plan?
- Premium Plus clients now receive 20 Premium QC credits per year, up from 2.
- Asset Adjustment Service is now included.
- All other Premium Plus features remain unchanged.
#### What is Standard QC?
Standard QC is a technical check, included in every plan, that confirms your title meets Filmhub's content and technical standards along with those of smaller, niche channels. Standard QC does not qualify a title for pitch consideration to premium channel partners like Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, YouTube Movies & TV, Pluto TV, and more.
#### What is Premium QC?
Premium QC is an in-depth verification that confirms your title meets the rigorous technical standards of our premium channel partners, including Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Vizio, Samsung TV Plus, and YouTube Movies & TV. Passing Premium QC means guaranteed worldwide distribution on Relay for SVOD avails, and is required for pitch consideration to our top-tier channel partners. It does not guarantee pitching by our sales team.
#### What is Asset Adjustment Service?
Asset Adjustment Service is included on Basic, Premium, and Premium Plus. Our team knows the technical requirements of our channel partners and runs QC checks based on that knowledge, aligning your title's assets to those requirements at no additional cost. For full details, see our [Asset Adjustment Service article](https://help.filmhub.com/asset-adjustment-service?hsLang=en).
#### Do I need to pay for Premium QC?
Premium QC is included exclusively in Basic, Premium, and Premium Plus, at the annual credit allowance for each plan. It is no longer available as an ad-hoc, pay-per-title purchase at any plan level, including for Premium and Premium Plus clients who have used their included verifications for the year.
#### What happens if I use all my included credits before my plan renews?
You have three options: (1) upgrade to a plan with a higher annual allowance, (2) submit to Standard QC but the title will not be eligible for premium channel pitch consideration, or (3) wait until your credits reset at your next renewal. Additional credits can no longer be purchased individually. If you're a Premium Plus client who has used all of your Premium QC credits or is planning to submit more than 20 titles in a year, reach out to your dedicated Acquisitions Executive to discuss a custom deal.
#### What happens to the credits I've already used this year?
If you're currently a Premium or Premium Plus client, we will automatically top up your account to reflect your plan's new annual allowance. We'll add the difference between your new allowance and the credits you've already used this cycle. For example, a Premium Plus client who has used 2 credits this cycle will receive 18 additional credits, bringing their total for the current cycle to 20. This adjustment happens automatically; you do not need to take any action.
#### Has Filmhub's pricing changed?
Premium and Premium Plus pricing remains the same as before. Basic is a new plan at $499/year. Premium QC is no longer available as a standalone purchase at any price.
#### What happens if my title was already in QC when these changes were announced?
This change only impacts new submissions. Any title that had already purchased Premium QC before October 5th will continue through the review process. No new Premium QC ad-hoc purchases will be available.
