In short

vidIQ surfaces YouTube keyword scores and competitor trends on Free/Boost; the lowest clearly priced paid tier is Max at $39/mo as of May 2026. Suggestions thin out when your channel has little history. Verified May 2026.

Best for

  • For keyword research directly inside YouTube without switching to a separate SEO tool
  • For comparing your titles and tags against specific competitor channels
  • For thumbnail idea scoring grounded in your channel's historical click-through data

Watch out for

  • Commercial use is unclear at all tiers — verify vidIQ's ToS before using outputs on a monetized channel
  • Suggestions rely on YouTube data; new channels get sparse results (per user reports, not a vidIQ-published threshold)
