"Immediately upon using the service you basically realize its unfair to everyone who doesn't use it"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

The best part was two fold. I love how awesome the affiliate side was and it was actually my first ever paid affiliation, even though i found it way later than other offers out there. It sells itself. The offer of $5 if you do not have the qualifications for the monetization on Youtube proves they are basically guaranteeing they can get you there.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

Well, I suppose with the new AI coming out so much, some better method of taking written blog work or content generation or ideation would have been nice, but they had their own method of idea generation I just didnt think it was incredibly effective.

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

Tubebuddy makes the ridiculously random Youtube algorithm somewhat reliable by absolutely zeroing in on keyword research and SEO optimization by analyzing difficulty and similar content.

"The Best YouTube SEO Tool For Content Creators"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

The best part of this tool is Keyword research and it is completely free. Now, just this tubebuddy come with a bunch of functions which can be like designed to get proper research on the contents related to your channel and your topics.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

Every so often this tool stops running. It is usually happens when you add more than one channels with this tool. While switching among different channels this extension stops working for a while.

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

I am a youtuber and this tool really enables to rank my videos higher or even high quality in search. Before tubebuddy it was a completely hard to understand how to rank higher in searches but after the usage of this tool I was capable to rank my videos on YouTube searches.

"TubeBuddy is your real friend/buddy"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

TubeBuddy helps to get more out of YouTube. I have already saved money thanks to the app. It helps to scale my channel ranks. I am able to see the stats of the channel very clearly and what needs to be done.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

I do not know what I would dislike. If only I knew more about YouTube marketing, I would use all the data better. But it is not a matter of TubeBuddy. I need to learn more.

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

As I have written before, there is so much data I can use to grow my channel and make it rank better in search results. It also saves time while posting. I do not measure or follow my competitors, but it is also possible with TubeBuddy.

"The perfect companion for creators!"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

TubeBuddy offers advanced analytics that you just can't get elsewhere. My favorite aspect is the Keyword Analyzer feature. It helps create the best keywords for your videos based on what real people are searching for on YouTube.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

The Suggested keywords feature needs work. It sometimes suggests content that is completely irrelevant. Possibly more machine learning in this area would be great.

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

Prior to TubeBuddy, I never had a good handle on how many subscribers I had created since last viewing my studio dashboard and what content my viewers really wanted.

"Help optimize your YouTube videos"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I love how TubeBuddy walks me through what I need to do to help my videos get found. It has suggested tags and reminds me to do simple things like add thumbnails, make a comment and pin it, etc. It is so easy to follow the instructions on the screen.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

It does stay open for any video I view and I don't always need it.

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

Before using this tool, I was not adding subscribers and did not realize the importance of finding keywords and using end cards. TubeBuddy gives me keywords that are useful and suggests better keywords to include. I believe that I have acquired more followers on my channel by implementing what TubeBuddy suggests.

"Most Handy Tool for Youtube SEO"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

The best experience starts with the installation of this tool. It's too easy to add this extension to my browser. I started with the free plan and it has tons of features in it's a free plan. The basic plan is enough for any channel which starts at 9 USD probably. I think ubebuddy gives better insight than any other youtube tools. It helps out to optimize tags, keywords, time, thumbnail, responses, search and so on. Ranking on youtube will be so practical and trustworthy using this tool and I experienced it with my own youtube channel. It allows to view the draft from other channels. The bulk updater and the translator are so useful feature to use for Video content SEO. Again the detailed analysis and report help me to rank my channel.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

I think they should consider their plans for users who have multiple channels. Their plan goes with only one channel. Again you can use it only in chrome browser which is a great lag I think.

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

I'm using it to rank my youtube channel and my videos. It provides me with a detailed analysis of my channel and contents so that I can understand how to improve my rank. Again all the necessary touch can be made with this tool easily. It saves a lot of time and does the exact required things for me. And there are enough resources on youtube and the web for the training of beginner users.

"Best tool I've ever used for YouTube"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I mostly enjoy the Videolytics, it allows you to quickly spy on your competition. The thumbnail generator is also quite useful, when you need a decent thumbnail done quickly. It won't replace Photoshop, but it does the job.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

They had to get rid of the derived statistics, which were pretty cool estimate of various metrics on other videos. Some of the greatest features, such as A/B Tests and Search Rankings are only in their top tier plans, but it's understandable.

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

I mostly used it to spy on my competitors, it allows you to see what kind of engagement they're getting, what tags they're using, thus allowing you to replicate and improve their process. The health report gives you a great overview of the channel, what keywords are bringing you view and a useful audience reports like demographics, regions, etc. Their member perks are a nice bonus, I love Jukedeck and AudioHero.

"Awsome tool for video SEO"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I use tubebuddy mostly to check if the SEO of my video is appropriate or not, I'm super happy with this tool as it serves me pretty well. I will suggest it for those who have little idea about keywords but like to SEO their video.

There is nothing I don't like about this tool but I would suggest it to people who have very little idea about SEO. If you are an SEO expert, this tool may look very basic to you.

I'm doing the SEO of my videos on Youtube with tubebuddy. I'm quite satisfied with the tool. It really helps a beginner to optimize his/her video for the search engine.

"The Smart Youtube SEO Tool for Rapid Channel Growth & Management!"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

Its youtube video title and tag suggestion feature help me choose the most popular keywords people use to find the related video. It also shows the keyword our video rank for and that so pretty cool. I also love its video topic planner feature that's incredibly useful when it comes to producing videos that people want to watch. BTW I love its chrome extension it's so handy while researching video topics.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

To be brutally honest, I don't have anything to complain about it right now, but it does have a learning curve and it will be so helpful if we can get a full course on how to use it to grow our channel faster with youtube SEO or even video topic planner.

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

I use it for video keyword research and finding relevant youtube tags where my video can rank high and show as suggested videos next to related videos, and it's doing that. beautifully!

"Top tool for Youtube SEO optimization"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I had been maintaining a youtube channel without paying heed to improving the tags, description, and title until I discovered Tubebuddy. I realized that I could discover all the trending keywords, measure the competitive score, and rank probability score for each and every title and keyword that I target for my new as well as already uploaded videos with the help of Tubebuddy. So this tool has been an eye-opener for me. Nowadays I research in detail about every new topic that I intend to create a video about, and thanks to Tubebuddy, I can get an aerial 360-degree overview of the pros and cons of the title and associated tags that I choose, before finalizing them for my Youtube videos.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

Tubebuddy's SEO scoring system can be misleading sometimes, and it has got two types of scoring - non-weighted score (for free users) and weighted score (for premium users). But if your Youtube Channel is already well-established then Tubebuddy SEO optimization can definitely help in further polishing and improving the channel standings in search results and ranking. But if your Youtube channel is in beginning stage or subscriber base is below 5k then it's very difficult and close to impossible to rank with the help of Tubebuddy's set lof tools

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

Tubebuddy is an indispensable tool in my arsenal when it comes to SEO optimization and overall improvisation of my Youtube channel and its contents. It works as an ever-vigilant monitoring tool to keep track of my competitor's progress and updates and latest trends, as well as providing a checklist of right steps to take for ranking and SEO optimization of specifically Youtube videos. So it is a very useful tool for any video content creator who intends to grow his/her own or client's Youtube channel

"Perfect Tool to Take Your Youtube Content to the Next Level!"
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

I like how quick and easy the TubeBuddy installation process was. It took me just 5 minutes to install the Chrome browser extension, link it to my youtube account, and get started. I have gained the most benefit from the SEO functionality. There was a noticeable uptick in my view counts after updating video titles and descriptions according to TubeBuddy's suggestions. When I use the keywords it suggests to me for my videos, I get more views, simple as that. I'm excited to dive deeper into this tool and see what other tips and tricks I can find to grow my channel.

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

The free plan is pretty limited. I only do this as a hobby, so I don't plan on purchasing the higher-tiered options, and I'm stuck with what I can get. I'm not sure how the free tool for TubeBuddy compares to others, but I wish I could do a bit more without paying.

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

SEO optimization; as I stated earlier, my view counts and subscriber counts have increased since using this tool. I have to use it for a little while longer to see if it keeps working. For now, the results are very positive.
