YouTube growth analytics with AI ideas, thumbnails and coaching
vidIQ layers keyword research, competitor tracking and channel diagnostics onto YouTube, delivered mainly through a browser extension that annotates videos and search results in place. Newer versions centre on an AI Coach that reads a channel's own history to suggest titles, thumbnails and topics, plus clip extraction from long uploads. Paid tiers are metered in monthly AI credits rather than seats, and there is a parallel offering for Instagram.
Tiers are metered in monthly AI credits (150 free, 2,000 on Boost, 6,000 on Max at $39/month); prices localise by visitor country and are pushed hard toward annual billing, so the entry Boost price did not render in USD.
Use tool ↗The default second screen for creators who optimise before they publish, and the in-page extension stats are the actual product; the AI layer is a convenience bolted on top. An established channel with an editor and a strategist is mostly paying for numbers YouTube Studio already gives away.
Watch out: Boost and Max are quoted as monthly figures but billed a year up front, so the headline price is not what you pay if you want to leave after a month.
