Tubegrow has keyword research, competitor channel reports and trending videos by country, sold on one plan. That plan is $199 a month with no free plan or trial, and it covers just 1 channel report, 3 competitors and 3 video optimizations a month. Its homepage and pricing page also disagree on the keyword limit. - **Value for money: F.** Lite is $199 a month, more than ten times this category's $19 middle and almost four times where its dearest tenth starts ($49.99). For that you get 1 channel report, 3 competitor channels and 3 video optimizations a month. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free: no free plan and no trial. A 30-day refund covers the first order only, asked for by email, and that isn't a trial. - **Features: C.** Keyword search, title and tag suggestions, channel and competitor reports, trending videos and an ads tool. The basics are there, but Lite caps reports at 1 channel and 3 competitors a month. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. It's a web app of several separate tools with monthly caps to work within. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no app, extension, API or integrations on record.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 28 of the 28 other YouTube SEO tools grade higher. It costs $2,388 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. - You could not: Search data for YouTube topics and channels.
