Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.2
GPA, above 0 of the 28 other YouTube SEO tools we grade
Tubegrow is a web-based set of YouTube research tools for creators, agencies and brands. It covers keyword research, keyword suggestions for a video's title, description and tags, growth reports on your own channel and on competitors' channels, and trending videos by country and category. It is sold on one monthly plan, with custom plans quoted on request.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Tubegrow, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Its homepage and pricing page also disagree on the keyword limit.

Best for watching rivals' YouTube channels
Tubegrow has keyword research, competitor channel reports and trending videos by country, sold on one plan.

Keyword search tool
Enter a keyword to get related keywords, see how videos rank for it, and find the keywords competitors put in their titles and descriptions.

The report card
Best for watching rivals' YouTube channels
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Tubegrow is for

- Watch out: the homepage puts Lite's keyword tool at 5 keywords a month, the pricing page at unlimited
- Watch out: anything bigger than Lite is quoted on request, and refunds cover the first order only

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Tubegrow you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. 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.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- Search data for YouTube topics and channels.
