Why Tubular Labs gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneySeat-based and quoted on request. No price is published, so it can't be set against the category's $24 middle.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial.
- CFeaturesA social video database, influencer search, dashboards and an API. It does a wide research job, but it isn't built for an individual creator optimising videos.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a team platform with dashboards to set up around your own accounts.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it has an API and Viewpoint dashboards for wider teams.

Keep Tubular Labs, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Tubular Labs you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 33 other YouTube SEO tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Tubular Labs’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
