"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.

With Tubebuddy, I am being able to keep a track on my milestones..This inspires me to create new and better content. First two months I only had 11+ subscribers. After downloading Tubebuddy, I have 43 subscribers in around 2/ 3 weeks.

"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.
