# Subscriptions

A subscription is a content source that Nudget monitors on your behalf. You enter a URL — a YouTube channel, a Substack newsletter, a Reddit subreddit, a LinkedIn profile, or any web page — and Nudget automatically detects the platform type, begins collecting new content as it's published, and feeds it into your daily AI briefing. Nudget supports 11 platform types (YouTube, Reddit, Threads, X/Twitter, Medium, LinkedIn, Substack, Podcast, RSS, new post detection, and content change detection) plus email newsletter forwarding. The Free plan includes up to 20 subscriptions, and Pro supports up to 50.

## Supported Sources

### Platform Subscriptions

Enter a URL and the platform is detected automatically. When new content is published, it's collected and summarized by AI.

| Source          | What You Subscribe To                  |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **YouTube**     | Channels, playlists, Shorts            |
| **Reddit**      | Subreddits                             |
| **Threads**     | User profiles                          |
| **X (Twitter)** | User profiles                          |
| **Medium**      | Author profiles                        |
| **LinkedIn**    | User profiles                          |
| **Substack**    | Newsletters                            |

### Web Monitoring

For web pages that aren't covered by platform subscriptions, you can set up monitoring through the Chrome Extension.

## How to Add Subscriptions

### Web Dashboard

Enter a URL on the Subscriptions page. The platform is auto-detected and monitoring begins immediately.

### Chrome Extension

Open any page you want to monitor and click **Subscribe to this page**. Known platforms are subscribed automatically. For regular web pages, choose between new post detection or content change detection.

## Managing Subscriptions

You can **pause**, **resume**, or **delete** any subscription at any time from the Subscriptions page.

<Info>
  Enable the **Include existing content** option to also fetch content that was already published when you subscribed.

## What Works Best

Nudget works best with **publicly accessible content**. Here are a few things to keep in mind when adding subscriptions:

<Warning>
  **Login-required pages** — If a page requires sign-in to view its content, Nudget may not be able to collect it. This includes paywalled articles, private social media profiles, and member-only forums. Use [Email Forward](#email-forward) for newsletters that land in your inbox instead.
</Warning>

<Info>
  **Dynamic or real-time content** — Pages that load content dynamically (e.g., infinite scroll feeds, live dashboards, real-time data) are captured as a snapshot at the time of collection. Content that appears only through user interaction may not be included.
</Info>

For the most reliable experience, subscribe to sources with stable, publicly available URLs — blogs, YouTube channels, RSS feeds, and public social profiles all work great.

## Subscriptions and Plans

Each plan has a subscription limit — Free supports up to **20 subscriptions**, and Pro supports up to **50**. Plans also differ in the monthly AI summary limit.
