The report card
Best for social video audience research for media teams
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Tubular Labs is for
- Fits if you're a media company benchmarking social video audiences
- Works for brand teams vetting creators for sponsorships
Who it is not for

- Watch out: no prices are published and the page lists Flex plans without prices or limits

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
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.
