RADICAL HONESTY: THE REALITY CHECK
"VidIQ advertises AI features (Daily Ideas, AI Coach) more aggressively. TubeBuddy's AI features are often more discreet (Tag Ranking Optimizer). NO unique AI architecture identified that gives VidIQ an unfair advantage."
Setup Verdict: VidIQ offers more accessible AI features for daily input. TubeBuddy's strength is in A/B testing, which is technically more demanding but requires more KERN data.

Our Conclusion
Deep-Dive: Pricing Transparency & Value-for-Money (TubeBuddy vs. VidIQ)
Comparison of pricing structure and transparency 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.
