Morningfame compares your channel with channels of a similar size and walks you through keyword research step by step, from $4.90 a month. But you need an invite code to sign up at all, there's no free plan, and Basic only opens keyword research for 24 hours every 12 days. - **Value for money: A.** Basic is $4.90 a month with taxes included, well under the $7.20 that's 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. Plus, with keyword research and Niche Spy open all the time, is $12.90, just above that quarter's $12. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan. A one-month trial comes through an invite link and works like Basic; the listing doesn't say whether it needs a card. When a subscription ends, the account is closed. - **Features: C.** Channel analytics against similar-sized channels, which videos worked, guided keyword research, Niche Spy and a weekly email. That's the basics, with no A/B tests or thumbnail help on record, and Basic opens research for only 24 hours every 12 days. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You need an invite code, then you connect your channel, and the keyword tool is a guided process to learn. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, connected to YouTube and nothing else, plus a weekly email.
