"YouTube SEO made easy"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I really like the keyword search and how it shows you how it will do not only on your channel, but it's relevance for current searches. How it breaks down the stats of the keyword or longtail keyword you put in is easy to interpret and works! Right now, one of my most recent videos is number 6 under the keyword I found on TubeBuddy! I'm surprised and stoked that I actually made the top ten!

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

I have the star plan and I feel it's pretty limited. I get most of what I need to be successful, but of course, I would love to have features like retention level and competitors scorecard.

What problems is Tube Buddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's definitely helping my videos align with YouTube's algorithm so I show up in search even if I'm not promoting my own videos as much right now since I've been really busy. Actually, the majority of my traffic comes from YouTube search so I'm very impressed!

"Very Useful"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

Tubebuddy is a service that lets you significantly improve the way you post videos on Youtube. This service starts by connecting to your youtube channel to gather information on the channel and its content. The significant part of the service comes with a browser add-on which is available for both firefox and chrome. It adds a dashboard screen to the youtube page that shows the live stats of the video. It's especially useful while posting videos; it helps you set the title, description, taglines, keywords etc. to improve the search engine visibility of the video. One of the primary tools in the service is the ability of the software to find relevant keyword based on the primary keyword which I find useful quite too often. the service can be used for free with limited features and if you need more insights you can upgrade to some higher plans. the service lets you use the pro features at a cheap rate if you're a new channel thus help you start off.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

the email spam is absolutely irritating from them so make sure you unsubscribe. the Dashboard can be improved a lot and its not that attractive.

What problems is Tube Buddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tubebuddy is a Service for youtube which helps you improve the overall quality of the channel and the videos posted with the help of analysis and optimization of posted videos.

"Awsome plugin"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

Tubebuddy pricing is really cool, there is a free tier and then it goes up witht he basic premium plan starting at just . there are also options which gets the users with less than 1000 youtube subscribers with great discounts and helps then get going. tubebuddy has one of the best browser plugins I've ever used. the plugin is available for google chrome as well as Mozilla Firefox. I used the plugin with chrome and it shows the basic analytics of your channel within the youtube dashboard, the plugin can also be used to analyse the competition like when you go on to watch a video on youtube, you can easily get the analytics and statistics of the video as well as the channel right in your dashboard. the plugin is extremely useful when you're uploading videos to your channel, once upload of the video is complete, the plugin gives you options to optimize the video to get maximum views on it. it suggests tags and checklists be completed for the video and I find it really helpful. the dahbord of the tubebuddy is beautiful and shows a lot of statistics related to your channel and keyword insgihts like trends within it.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

the customer service is not great, it takes them more than a day usually to reply to the messages. to get good insights on the channel you need to go with the higher premium packages which are costly.

What problems is Tube Buddy solving and how is that benefiting you?

tubebuddy is a youtube analytics and SEO service that gives you insights on the channel as well as help you optijmize your videos to be seen in the youtube search.
