TubeBuddy for the WIN
Over TubeBuddy will legitly increase traffic on your channel when used strategically and used the right way.
PROSI like how we were able to grow our Channel with tubebuddy, It's very helpful specially in strategizing on what primary/secondary keywords and or tags that will pay off and will drive traffic to the website. I also love how they give a different price (**lower price**) when you indicate that you are just a beginner, you get the service for half the price, which I think is very nice of them. You also get a 3months free service if you avail of any seminars or training they are in partnership with (e.g Youtube for Bosses).
CONSThe only problem I encountered with TubeBuddy is during the setup process, it could be really tricky. It might not work on your chrome with a different account that is already synced with gooogle and youtube, you may end up reinstalling a new chrome then redownloading the tubebuddy, then it should work just fine after. Also, It would be really great if TubeBuddy would support a Safari Extension, I think that would be awesome.

Best Tool to Grow a Youtube Channel
The experience with tubebuddy has been great for me, it has only helped me to achieve more engagement and appearing in search queries for the content I do. I joined the PRO plan a few months ago and it has made a tremendous difference in the professionalism of my videos. I highly recommend it for those who are just starting out, just the free plan is a good help for any channel in development.
PROSTubebuddy is an amazing, free and full-featured content optimization tool. Allows you to optimize Youtube videos, so that they are well positioned in searches. SEO is great for channel growth and being found by users. Besides, it lets you download many free resources for editing your video. As final screens and songs without copyright. This is too much. Service is super fast and installation of the extension in the browser is easy. Intuitive and quick response tool.
CONSI have no negative words to declare to tubebuddy, an incredibly competent tool and full of free resources. So it would be selfish of me to defame great software.

Do Not Buy Pro Version
bad
PROSDo noy Buy pro version. In their package details they are showing some feature unlimited such as Tag Rankings, Tag Lists, Suggested Tags, Search Explorer and Keyword Explorer. But All this features are limited for only 500 words. That means if you are using keyword research or tag research even for 1 hour, after 1hour stop working & the message will pop up on your window that you have exceeded your limit. The worst past is you can not use tube buddy for the next 24 hours. Hence, I will Advice do not buy Pro Package. Instead use free version.
CONSI like analytics and realtime option. but you are making fraud in pro package

A Software and Extension built to get Success on YouTube
The Experience is Amazing, I love the tag system given by TubeBuddy, it shows the ranking of my tags ad well as others too whenever I visit their video.
PROSTubeBuddy is must for any YouTube creator, it's Extension more famous than application. The best use of this tool is Keyword Research and its even free. Not just this TubeBuddy come a bunch of features which are like designed to get success in YouTube Channel. It has many amazing features like showing Tag ranks, Live subscriber count, filtering the comments, Tracking the video etc.
CONSWe get a free version which has a lot of features but so many features can be used for limited number of time in a day, this is difficult for new YouTubers who cannot spend money for continuous persistence.

Fills in the missing pieces in managing your YouTube account.
It allows me to stay engaged with my YouTube audience at scale.
PROSThe most important functionality, the one that makes this a killer app is the ability to filter your YouTube comments quickly to find the comments and questions that you haven't answered yet. Even though YouTube wants you to be engaged with your audience, it actually makes it incredibly difficult to do it at scale. TubeBuddy fixes that.
CONSI don't personally get much value from other functionality of the service. Tag suggestions are nice, other mass edit tools are cool, but the filtering comments is so powerful this is a must have for me.

A must have for Youtubers
I was losing a lot of time analyzing data from Youtube to have the best performance. With TubeBuddy, I have a helper, and I am now mostly focused on the content itself. And the results are showing.
PROSThis tool will save you a lot of time. You get suggestions for every part of the Youtube uploading, starting from the description, tags, end screens, and card. It will also remind you to share your work, and in addition, it has a Topic planner with keyword research and great analytics (even if they are just taken from Youtube itself). It can also compare your performance with the chosen competitors. I think this was the best value for the money of all my software.
CONSNo cons that I can see at this time. I will see when our channel becomes larger, and we need to choose another pricing plan.

Must Have Tool If You Have a Youtube Channel
Great time saver for managing your Youtube channel, saves me dozens of hours a month.
PROSIf you have an active Youtube channel then this is a must have tool that will save you dozens of hours each month. They provide a checklist for and post launch so you never miss a step. They also let your create card, end-screen and description templates that you can apply with a click of the mouse. I get alot of value form the suggested tags and to see how my tags are ranking in the search results.
CONSMany of the cooler features, like bulk editing, only come with the higher prices plans. You also need to use Chrome as it comes as a Chrome extension.
Vendor Response
Thanks Gary - so glad you are enjoying our tools! And though Chrome is our main platform, we do support Safari and Firefox, and also have a Mobile App that can be used without Chrome.

Hands Down...Best Keyword Research for Video!
I can't say enough good things about TubeBuddy. You get not only the search volume, but you also get the search pool which gives you a recipe for rising above the competition. Very, very happy and would highly recommend this tool for video marketing research.
PROSI love seeing the weighted and unweighted scores based on my own YouTube channel statistics. Their algorithm is surprisingly accurate!
CONSThere is nothing I don't like about it. I tried trials to Morningfa.me as well as VidIQ and hands down, TubeBuddy wins! I've been doing keyword research for a long time....over 10 years, and this tool is the best there is for YouTube.

A must-have tool for anyone creating content for YouTube
TubeBuddy is by far the best tool I have found out about and use to make the most out of YouTube and the video content I publish on the platform. Of all the different things included in the TubeBuddy toolkit (and there are many!), my favorite ones have to do with video SEO. In particular, I really like SEO Studio, Search Positions/Rankings, Keyword Explorer and Search Explorer. Thanks to these features, I'm able to see what people are search for on YouTube, optimize my video content accordingly, and see what I can do to make my content rank higher. If you produce videos, then you want to have as many eyeballs on it as possible...and TubeBuddy let's you make the most out of the #1 video platform and 2nd largest search engine in the world!
CONSThe one thing I'm not a fan of is the fact that, despite having a Pro TubeBuddy account, I still don't get access to any of the bulk processing features. Sure, this is a decision the company made, but I think that one of the things a video creator wants to be able to do is to better streamline his/her overall video production workflow – and being able to take care of several things in bulk would be really useful... but this doesn't happen unless you use a certain membership plan.

Best, most known, analytic product for Youtube
Before TubeBuddy it was an exceptionally hard thing to see how to rank better in search or on first page of Youtube, yet subsequent to utilizing this apparatus I had the option to rank my recordings on YouTube's first page. Tubebuddy has altered my entire YouTube channel positioning and assisted me with further developing my channel setting.I am a influencer, and this tool really helps me.
PROSTubeBuddy truly speeds up my YouTube. Also, the tool assists me with getting my recordings good rankings. Tubebuddy also offers the best catchphrases for your video which assists you with positioning better on YouTube and Google. Also, the Seo tools offer you more perspectives on your recordings, better video execution, thumbnail assistance, and rivals analytics, which all help you build your opportunities to get on top of search.
CONSIn the beginning, we get free tools which has a great deal of components however so many provisions can be utilized for set number of time in a day. Influencers low on cash can see this is problematic.

TubeBuddy is Amazing
I am pleased with what TubeBuddy affords me to do. I was new to content creation and needed help maximizing my channel's truest potential. I started using TubeBuddy and am pleased and happy to be receiving guidance that's easy to understand and apply. Overall, I have a long way to go, but I have also come a long way. I like that TubeBuddy was easy to integrate with my channel. TubeBuddy is here to stay1
PROSTubeBuddy is very effective in helping my videos to rank higher. They offer great tag suggestions, top of the line analytics. I have seen a dramatic change in my channel performance since I started using this software. Their SEO is top tier, I have no regrets, this one is a keeper!
CONSI wish I could afford the Legend level. I am working on that. Actually, that's a "me" problem. Tubebuddy delivers.

Great Extension for Youtubers
TubeBuddy is very helpful for growing and managing your youtube channel especially for the beginners. It shows the right way to upload youtube videos, helps to choose right title and tags. It gives you a clear concept about how to optimize your videos and channel. Great time saver. Thank you TubeBuddy
CONSThe paid version is quite expensive. The free version is so limited that it is not going to help you that much. If you are using windows 7 or if your pc has low configuration...you may face lag or hang problems.

TubeBuddy
Overall I believe it is a really good tool to use if you have a YouTube channel because it's something like you teacher that helps you in you journey of becoming a successful youtouber.
PROSThe thing I liked the most about using TubeBuddy is the key-word feature. It is really helpful because it guides you how to write your title in your YouTube video and have a higher chance of being discovered. I also liked that it gives you analytics for other YouTube channels and in that way you can see what works and what doesn't so you can adjust that to your own YouTube channel, for example you can make similar videos with the videos you saw that they perform well in other YouTube channels that they are similar to your own YouTube channel.
CONSThe two things I didn't really like was, one, that they do not have enough free tools so you can get a good idea of what TubeBuddy may offer to you. And the other thing is that it made my loading screen on YouTube a little bit slower. Meaning that it took 5secs to load the next song and when I did not have the TubeBuddy it took 2. Nothing really tariffing It's just that I didn't liked it. I mean maybe it's just my internet connection.

Great tool to help your youtube videos get ranked! Don't
TubeBuddy has a TON of features! They have really thought of everything you need to help your Youtube channel be successful. If you care about SEO then you should use TubeBuddy. I love that I can look at other videos and see the tags they use. I can either use them for my video or just get other ideas from them. It will also show me suggested tags to use as well. I also like how it shows "videolytics" for my video and for others. You can get some valuable info from that!
CONSThere is really nothing negative to say about Tubebuddy except for some of the features they offer require a third party tool which a lot of times is a separate/monthly cost to the company. I wish it was all in-house but that may be unrealistic.

As I said, I didn't have the funding to upgrade and had I did, think I probably would have improved my channel.

CONSI didn't like I had to upgrade to get the most out of Tube Buddy because I didn't want to spend all this money since I had to purchase the upgrade with Canva, all of the tools were costly to purchase so I didn't buy Tube Buddy.

Impossible to have a YouTube Channel without this software
It’s crazy that YouTube doesn’t offer tube buddy to everyone who has a premium subscription or anyone who wants to posts videos. It’s impossible to post videos and have them do well without software like tube buddy. Is there even any other software that does what it does?
CONSI think it’s overpriced. And don’t sign up for it without a promo code because then you can never get the discount in the future. Pretty lame that I signed up paid full price and then came across a way to save on my subscription. If you have a YouTube channel you have to have tube buddy unless you want to waste your time posting videos no one sees.

A real buddy if you want to become "YouTube" famous
I strongly believe that despite the benefits of the paid version of the program, if you are a smaller channel, a young YouTuber or small company, it could represent an extra cost to pay for the subscription. But if you have some set goals for YouTube success, then I would highly recommend it to include the usage of TubeBuddy.
PROSThe thing I like the most is a different kind of analytical features inside the software. The one I found most helpful was concerning the recommended keywords which could place the video at the top of the search results. I used this feature a lot and it helped me to organically rise view count on my videos. For some time my travel vlog video came to the 4th place in mobile YouTube search which made me such a happy customer. :)
CONSEven though, there are so many really important sections and features inside the software the interface of the website was a bit packed up with information. Sometimes I would get lost in the sea of different kind of metrics and I needed some extra motivation to deal with all of it.

TubeBuddy Review
TubeBuddy as a YouTube management software is solving various business problems for me. SEO and A/B testing wise.
PROSI'm the YouTube manager at PicsArt and I use TubeBuddy all the time for YouTube management. It's a great program to generate great keywords for SEO, to try out A/B tests for titles, thumbnails and descriptions, you can check your status between your competitors and try to improve your game in the field.
CONSTubeBuddy software sometimes gets bugs and it crashes on me while I'm working with it. Also, I'm having some trouble figuring out what the program can fully do.
