"Great for optimal use of your YouTube videos "
What do you like best about Tube Buddy?

Tune Buddy is excellent if you’re wanting something simple to help with your YouTube page. Not only is it free (unless you choose to upgrade!) but it’s a great simple way to get to the tools you need without the hassle!

What do you dislike about Tube Buddy?

The option to upgrade is fantastic but not doable for some people. Wish it offered a few more tools without having to upgrade.

The ease of managing my channel! It has been fantastic!

"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 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.

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.

"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.
