As well as offering keyword and recommended tag suggestions, it also provides users with an easy-to-view search volume graph that tracks the changing popularity of specific keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its Keyword Score feature rates how difficult it is to rank for a chosen keyword, making it particularly helpful for YouTube channel owners focused on growth via SEO. All this information is shown in a single glance alongside competing videos with similar content, allowing users to compare how their video might perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-1024x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-1024x500.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-1536x751.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature-1568x766.png 1568w, https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Keyword-Score-feature.png 1862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-channel-audit-tool\">Channel Audit Tool<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The vidIQ YouTube Channel audit tool offers a quick and effective way to assess YouTube channel performance. It highlights which of your content is performing best, allowing you to identify your best content strategies so you can double down on the content that is performing best (over the previous 30, 60, or 90 days) and lose the type of content that isn&#8217;t up to scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trend-alert-tool\">Trend Alert Tool<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly to TubeBuddy, vidIQ provides users with up-to-date information on the latest YouTube trends by sending out email alerts. Users can set parameters to receive alerts regularly (daily, every two days, weekly, or monthly). It also provides alerts for competitor channels, so you can keep an eye on how their videos are performing and the type of content they are creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vidiq-pricing\">vidIQ pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>vidIQ has four pricing plans: Basic (free), Pro, Boost, and Max. Its paid plans start from <strong>$7.50\/month,<\/strong> and the top package, with access to all vidIQ&#8217;s features, starts at $79 per month. Each pricing level provides access to a different set of features, making the pricing structure complex to understand.

The free version of TubeBuddy shows you the top three keyword results for up to 25 searches per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <strong>vidIQ\u2019s<\/strong> keyword research tools are highly efficient and provide in-depth insights that will help you make decisions about which keywords to choose and how to optimize your videos in the best way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users point out that vidIQ provides more suggestions of long-tail keywords, and the main strengths of its toolset lie precisely in its SEO analytics and keyword research features.
