RADICAL HONESTY: THE REALITY CHECK
"Both tools offer attractive 'Pro' tiers, but restrict crucial pSEO features (e.g., A/B testing, deep competitor analysis) to higher 'Legend'/'Enterprise' tiers. The true cost for strategy features is [DATA_MISSING]."
Transparency Verdict: VidIQ is slightly cheaper at the base level but scales pricing aggressively for the coveted AI features. TubeBuddy's pricing is often simpler, but the leap to the A/B testing function is significant.

Our Conclusion
Deep-Dive: Specialized Use Cases (Competitor Analysis, Video Audit)
Comparison of specialized use cases and features of both tools.
View comparisonTubeBuddy
TubeBuddy ist der "Hausmeister" der YouTube-Tools – funktional, aber veraltet. Die "Browser-Lähmung" (Ressourcenhunger) macht es zu einem Risiko für produktive Workflows. Der Bulk Find & Replace und der Auto-Translator sind die einzigen zukunftssicheren Assets. Die veraltete UI/UX (2015) und die API-Abhängigkeit (wochenlange Ausfälle bei YouTube-Änderungen) machen es nicht 2026-Ready.
VidIQ
VidIQ vermarktet sich als "AI Growth Coach", aber für einen pSEO-Strategen ist es primär ein Daten-Spion. Das Tool, das Wachstum verspricht, ist in Wirklichkeit ein Trojanisches Pferd. Es sabotiert die Kanalaudienz ("AI Sabotage") und führt im Hintergrund eine unautorisierte Finanzoperation ("Billing Zombie") durch.
