Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about DebateGenius pricing before you choose a plan.
How does the wallet system work?
Add funds to your wallet using a credit card (via Stripe). The minimum deposit is $5. Use your wallet balance to create debates, start proposals, or unlock existing content. Your funds are secure and ready to use instantly.
What AI voices are available?
We offer 6 professional AI voices powered by OpenAI TTS: alloy, echo, fable, onyx, nova, and shimmer. When creating a debate, you can choose different voices for each speaker and the narrator.
Can I download the debates I create or unlock?
For debates you unlock ($1), you can stream the full 1080p video and download the transcript. For debates you create privately ($50), you can both stream and download the full 1080p video, plus download the transcript.
What's the difference between a proposal and a private debate?
A private debate ($50) is instant, private to your account, and you pay the full cost. A public proposal starts at $2, requires community funding to reach the $30 goal, and becomes publicly viewable. Proposals save you money if the community contributes.
How do unlocks work?
Pay $1 to unlock any debate created by other users. Once unlocked, you have permanent access to stream the full video and download the transcript. This helps support debate creators.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards through Stripe, our secure payment processor. We never store your card details.
What can I do for free?
Free users can watch preview clips of all debates and browse the public debate library. To watch full debates, you need to unlock them ($1) or create your own.
