Tubular Labs is a social video intelligence platform covering YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitch, for measuring audiences, tracking trends and finding influencers. It's sold by the seat on a quote, no price is published, and it's aimed at media and brand teams rather than creators. - **Value for money: C.** Seat-based and quoted on request. No price is published, so it can't be set against the category's $24 middle. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free on record: no free plan and no trial. - **Features: C.** A 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It's a team platform with dashboards to set up around your own accounts. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it has an API and Viewpoint dashboards for wider teams.

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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
