Pros:

Having lots of really important features in one place. Being able to backup my channel is super good, and very important in the same time. Also, the A/B testing for thumbnail is an absolute must for big channels like mine.

Cons:

Well, although the pricing is really good, I think putting some essential tools in only the most expensive plan is a limitation. I hope they provide a customizable plan, like what features I need, and a pricing is set accordingly.

Reasons for switching to TubeBuddy

Well, marketing blaster is not bad, but it is limited to keyword search. I needed a more rich tool like tubebuddy.

Not as good as it used to be

I like the program, but I question its value for me now that the main draw for this program, mainly the templates for end screens and info cards, is nonfunctional, and it appears it won't be back anytime soon. They haven't done anything to compensate the users for this sudden lack in functionality, so I question whether I really need to keep paying this high monthly feel for something that isn't doing what I originally purchased it to do.

Pros:

I like a lot of the functions of this program, but my main reason for being attracted to it was the ability to bulk edit and use templates for info cards and end screens. This definitely saved a lot of time and made it worth the price

Cons:

They are having problems with the info card and end screen templates that has been going on for over a month now, and it doesn't look like they are going to do much to fix it.

TubeBuddy Took My Video From 20,000 views to over 5 MILLION in Half The Time!

It's one of my go-to tools to make sure my videos get ranked fast on YouTube. Before using TubeBuddy I was getting very few views and making very little ad revenue, since using it I now consistently rank on the first page of YouTube for my keywords and make a lot more ad revenue!

Pros:

I love how intuitive it is and how easy it makes it to reorganize your tags for more views on YouTube. I also love that it can give you great insight into how competitive a term is and gives you alternatives to use as well.

Cons:

I would like it better if it gave me exact numbers instead of high/low ranking but other than that I love it!

Reasons for choosing TubeBuddy

I use both for different aspects of my seo research and tagging opportunities.

Pros:

Keyword Explorer SEO studio These tools help streamline my workflow. It makes things significantly easier to get work done quicker. Speaking with the staff on Discord and their website has helped me think about things beyond what the tools offer. So, while there are software tools, there is a human element that is gracious to help you along the way.

Cons:

I had issues with the initial installation. It didn't want to play well with Safari. However, when I utilize it on Firefox and Chrome both work flawlessly.

Pros:

The Google Chrome extension of Tube Buddy made it my #1 easy to use YouTube SEO tool. One can easily optimize his or her videos without having to login to the website itself. In addition, Tube Buddy suggest high ranking tags and keywords for every user, in order to gain an edge over their competitors, and finally, for me, their monthly plan is very much affordable.

Cons:

Honestly for me, since I began using Tube Buddy in 2019, I've never found anything to call my problem.

What's trending feature inside the keyword explorer is a treasure mine to discover video ideas. 2. Channel backup to export a CSV file (Star plan) with a list of videos, URLs, comment count, like and dislike count, views count, and more. 3. Checklist to identify potential ways to improve the reach of videos to many people. 4. Publish to facebook, as a separate video (not just YouTube video URL). 5. SEO operations on video 6.

The plans and their pricing vary based on when you purchase. I bought a good deal during the Memorial day holiday and wondered why I took so long to upgrade to a paid plan. It's worth it!
