What an annoying and intrusive software, been using it 3 years ago then stopped, now tried again and its the same. stop with the popups, if software is good then people will buy you dont need to shove it in their face each time they refresh page... im keeping it only cause of keywords help but that can be easily fixed with ai.
waste of time and data
It's so annoying to get harassed with "upgrade to pro" every single time I open my yt studio.
Unfortunately the payment methods are only Paypal and Credit Card.
mr_vicky_v-7s4l my channal subscrib now
you can literally do nothing without paid sub...
Pro features all say basic this-and-that FOR PRO!!!, you can use ai for free to do all those, not worth it. I've been trying to log in with my youtube account, but its not even listed there WHY?!?!
Downloaded solely to see how popular the tags I was using are... you get 5 free searches and then it's permanently locked behind a paywall. I absolutely refuse to use an extension that makes me pay for features that should be built into YouTube Studio by default. AND THE POP UP ADS. SO MANY POP UP ADS.
why giving only 1 star bcz by giving only 1 access it doesn't work and that gives me suspections
It leaves a sign in banner.
Brightly coloured obnoxious sign for you to sign in for additional features. No I'm not creating an account and I will not use this extension.
Put nearly everything I used to use behind a paywall, it also somehow keeps signing me out of youtube...
paid for the most basic plan, information are just same as the ones you've got on YouTube studio, for a little bit more I want to know "Sorry! This feature requres a Legend level license."... why charge people for information that's free from the official website? waste of money
Not free to use is asking for money .. Delete 💩❌
Every time I have to remove the TubeBuddy Chrome extension and re-install and provide google authentication to work.
The extension does not work and the support took more than 7 days to reply to my email. I could add other things, but this says it all.
The part I would like to work the most is the SEO Title Tool way to complicated the score keeps going down with no help from an AI. I am now subscribed to ChatGPT which I use to generate scripts, titles, description, tags etc.. Much more useful TubeBuddy should have similar tools or be obsolete before you get off the ground..
Not really sure what this extension is supposed to help with, but it is very confusing and limited. Seems like you have to subscribe to the higher tier plans to get any real benefit from it and as a small creator trying to use your service to grow so that I CAN afford the additional tiers if I choose that's disappointing. In essence, you really aren't helping me grow unless I pay you to. JS
Expensive and does not work on Linux
pricing error.
verry bet and not sinup
I'd avoid getting this, coming from someone who isn't a bot. First off - it makes you give this extension unnecessary permissions, I genuinely feel like this might be connected to a virus. Around the same day I got this extension, my computer started acting weirdly, as well as strange tabs I had NEVER used involving log-ins to other sites being in my history. I went through my security on Google and TubeBuddy is the only extension that I had given profile permissions to. I'd recommend using VidIQ instead imo as this is just really expensive and honestly might not be safe.
I paid for this service for a year back in Aug or September of 2024. I don't know what happened but for some reason I don't have it. can't even use it.
If I could give this zero stars I would! Absolutely not worth the price. The extension is constantly broken. I have submitted several tickets, explaining IN DETAIL with screenshots and I get an email asking to make a video of the problem? Really?? Also, I specifically asked for a refund since I paid over $200 for a product that doesn't work, and apparently, no refunds are allowed even within the 30 days. A complete SCAM. Do NOT spend any money on this!!
Has regular issues gathering data for A/B testing, search rank tracking times out, dubious vocabulary on statistical testing for thumbnails, should be using rolling averages for Click Magnet instead of lifetime analytics or else you can't track improvement. Doesn't listen to the community on their forums. I would be happy to work with TubeBuddy to remedy these problems so they can deliver a better product.
Unable to login tried multiple times..Login with google not working after giving all permissions, channel is showing in Tubebuddy dashboard but on Youtube dashboard it's again and asking for login...

Absolutely One Of The Worst Extension You Can Use Its Pay To Win Basically I Tryed The Title Generator And It Said That it Didnt Work and To Check Back Later And That Counted As a Use It Asked Me To Pay For The Program Truly One Of The Worst Things i Ever Seen. I Do Not Recommend To Use This Extension Ever
I cannot log in, I keep trying and keep getting redirected
has not been working on one channel other it works but only 2 or 3 times then asks for paid version. a little tacky
Seems like as of late this extension hasn't been working, at least, for me it hasn't.
I haven't been able to use the app for the past 24 hours. It keeps showing up with an error message when I try to log in. I even reloaded the app and its still not working. Kindly fix this or refund my subscription?
doesn't let me sign in to even see if it works...
If there is a better competitor, I will never use this extension even if I will be paid to use it. I heard Vidiq is worse. Spent 60 minutes trying to insert my tags. From time to time some feature doesn't work. And it is so frustrating. How they have 1,000,000 users is a great motivation for shabby work. I hope this review motivates you to use the right technologies and skills to improve this tool and make it functionable. For now, not worth 1 cent. Pissed customer
the page gets stuck with a upgrade pop up don't know how to exit as it doesn't show any option.
The reason I subscribed is to get a title suggestion to have a good reach, but I'm not able to reach this feature
This is a terrible extension doesn't work. Downloaded. Logged into my account. Then when I go to YT I have to 'login again'. Then reload the page. After reloading...yup, gotta reload again and again ad nauseam. I closed my Chrome browser and went through the same scenario again. Finally, followed the TB support on updating the extension..I'm using the latest. So this is not working for me.
I also installed the tube buddy extension , but it shows the exclamation mark , so I deleted and tried to reinstall it , it still gives the same problem.
The changes made to this extension have made it worthless. They keyword feature is not working, it adds random words that I do not want and it limits you to very few features. It went from a 3 star ap to a 0 star ap in just 3-4 months.
This extension is not working in my laptop. Please resolve this issue
i'm not happy with the update to tubebuddy i now never get the tags i'm looking for when i type the whole youtube title for my videos idk what you did but please fix if you can i miss how it was before
It's terrible. It's a liar
NOT GOOD FOR SPANISH SPEAKING CHANNEL
cant access keyword launcher or tubebuddy from studio
I cant access the keyword launcher since the new updates use it on.
I cant access the keyword launcher since the new update and buying a new device to use it on.
Why is this so buggy
the new blue color is super Annoying and it will NOT TURN OFF when I'm watching YouTube.
Useful tool, but way too intrusive. Now I can't even type in my keywords because the AI prompt pops up and types in totally random keywords for me. And there is no way to turn off this feature. I'll have to uninstall the whole thing now to be able to type in MY keywords.... PS: these AI generated keywords don't even work as they have no relevance whatsoever to MY content. They ruined a great tool.
Pricing is insanely stupid. Features are nice. But if you are looking to build a channel and grow there is no chance you can afford it. You all should really aim at lower prices and increase customer volume..
