- (2025-06-27) Tehc Shashtra: this is a fantastic App, Extension or website, it's helping me too much to get Video Ideas and optimize my videos Seo to get more views than before using of vidIQ
- (2025-06-23) Quốc Huy: good
- (2025-06-19) Nobody Special: I have no idea how anyone could ever give them a review lower than a perfect score of 5/5. Very helpful, and VERY FREE at the basic level. If you're on YouTube uploading videos and want to grow a channel, you MUST have this.
- (2025-06-19) Alamgir Hossain: NICE
- (2025-06-17) Lorraine Dodder: Hmmmm, the thumbnails that are created are awful. Often they are ranked low (by VidIQ themselves, which is mind blowing). Also the titles are often naff too? Genuinely confused by this.. Still deciding whether to keep paying the monthly fee.
- (2025-06-17) pieter loupias: I like this app i use this for thumbnails making because i am bad at making them and i think it helped me to grow
- (2025-06-13) Prameeth Peiris: Recommended, Its make easy work
- (2025-06-11) Ceylon Win News: it's easy to my work.
- (2025-06-02) Andy V: Id give it 5 stars, but i feel like its annoying that when i close my ''google chrome'' it still stays minimized and doing something in background when i dont even use chrome for anything. Also getting constantly security warnings from my ''google account'' as ''suspicious activity on your account'' after installing and using addon for month or so triggered warning twice. Never had issue without this addon.
- (2025-06-01) Johanna E Snee: Site is horrible, more than half the time it dont work. and dont assist me
- (2025-05-31) Jorge Luis Cabral Rodríguez: Pretty good

- (2025-05-22) sadho Munda: thanks for supporting team vid iq and good targeting suggation
- (2025-05-19) Dennys M: I have been using it for years, it does not show the real values, the statistics that are in studio YouTube are not the same as those shown by this tool. Especially the one for the shorts, and it doesn't show the one for the long videos either.
- (2025-05-16) ProFaisol: Using this extension brough my views from 15K daily to 50. Thankfully, disabling it has brough my views back
- (2025-05-12) Whinnie Chan: I've used vidIQ for the last two years and was happy with the level of insight it provided into my channel as well as the assistance with titling and tagging my videos. Unfortunately I can no longer use the extension as I've been receiving critical security warnings for the last few months on my Google account tied to my YouTube channel, and based on the activity info and online research it appears likely that vidIQ is the cause. I reached out to their support team as this is a major concern (I've seen so many channels get hacked lately with no way to fight back thanks to cookie loggers, and ), and while they provided a very quick and detailed answer, they basically brushed it off by saying that this is "normal" due to the higher level of permissions needed to access your channel info, although I've never received a security warning from any other extension requiring the same permissions before ... They also tried to justify that this could be caused by having to log back in or when your IP address is refreshed, but I've received multiple warnings when my devices using these extensions weren't even on. All these coupled with their lack of transparency (saw so many Reddit and Twitter threads directly tagging them about this with no response) no longer allow me to recommend vidIQ to other creators, and I'll be looking for another tool to help with my content.
- (2025-05-10) Harry Brook: I dont recement this tool for any high level YouTube Channel
- (2025-05-10) Jim Bacus: broke again!
- (2025-05-04) Oluwatosin Samuel Olateru: Great... extension.... keeps me on my toes
- (2025-04-22) Dr. Arun K. Shukla: I HAVE POSITIVE HOPE FOR TIMES AHEAD , THOUGH PRESENTLY AM NOT APT ENOUGH TO UTILISE IT TO THE OPTIMUM , I HAVE CERTAINLY BENEFITTED IN IDENTIFYING PEOPLE'S REQUIREMENTS AND THUS RAISE MY BAR ACCORDINGLY
- (2025-04-20) Gurmukh Wahid: It really dosen't help me to get any extra views
- (2025-04-20) Krissy Mikulski: great extension no lag no problems
- (2025-04-18) Shailendra Raghuvanshi: Its Super and Really Working
- (2025-04-17) SUMIT KUMAR: No use as its not suggesting better tags and not helping in increase views, reach and followers.
- (2025-04-06) Salty Dogg: Lags the browser for sure.. As far as a tool to increase traffic on YouTube it's been a huge miss. TubeBuddy has been better IMO.. The Thumbnail tool is garbage and it's Thumbnail rating is completely off. Keyword is a bit suspect honestly. Only tool I really found useful was the competition rating. Sorry guys I gave it an honest effort.
- (2025-04-06) info x: this addon caused chrome to nearly freeze, chrome almost hanged even when no youtube tab was open!! After painstaking effort of uninstalling and reinstalling each addon one by one, found this addon to be the offender and cause of hanging issue in chrome! It wasted many days, with chrome almost unable to switch to 2nd tab, its like chrome choked , even on a i9 processor! (its not a lack of processing power, other browsers [based on same chrome] worked fine) After uninstalling this specific offending addon, instantly chrome became normal, all lag is gone there was no issue to switch to 2nd tab or even open a few more tabs also. if chrome becomes laggy or bogged down, perhaps it may help to try to remove this addon and see if it helps
- (2025-04-05) Nathan Quebe: When I used this extension, it lags a lot on YouTube.
- (2025-04-01) Robert Critten: Top notch and YOU need to be Notched. Perfect!!!
- (2025-03-31) APERTE O PLAY PLAY AI: top nice !!!!!!
- (2025-03-31) Mr vídeos 2K: exelent !!!!!
- (2025-03-25) HOMIE PICK: Excellent !!
- (2025-03-22) Prakash Rajbanshi: Very bad experience! Most of the time, I face data fetching issues, and the score doesn't show up even after using the paid version. There's also a huge difference in scores between the mobile and desktop versions, which makes it unreliable. Worst of all, no one is helping to resolve these errors—customer service is extremely poor. Definitely not worth the money!
- (2025-03-22) Shilpi Begum: gd
- (2025-03-18) Elias Höltgen (K!ng): A must-have! Just sooo many new features compared to the normal youtube studio. Especially the title/description score really helps me out
- (2025-03-18) MTB: Most of the time it stays at Analizing Video and not providing any titles very annoying
- (2025-03-16) Phi Thường Remix - Music World: good
- (2025-03-15) Suparna Mohanta: not very much usefull like tubebuddy keyword search ranking not exact no market
- (2025-03-09) Mickaela Louise Nabua: Really helpful!
- (2025-03-08) Romeo Azad Ruma: Very helpfull
- (2025-03-06) Rebecca Christian: I have mixed feelings on vidIQ. I feel some of the user concerns but I also like the analytics it provides. One thing sticks out: "Unlock everything you need to grow 2x faster" Don't get me wrong, but why should I pay to boost my channel if I know for a fact that I have quality in my content? Perhaps, that's the new million dollar question. Anyway, keep up the good work
- (2025-02-21) xyba: One star until you remove this extremely annoying positioned "Scorecard" next to shorts.
- (2025-02-21) Jayson Judson: Paid version is great, free version is flat out awful - its glitchy and doesn't update and crashes my YouTube when I try to edit videos and shorts for upload.
- (2025-02-17) Manuel KJ: I am disapointed with only one think that there should be free ussage of this app but even for basic plan we will have to pay maney . I do request you to change that sistem completly first year and first month should be completly free without payment and free and many featurs are asking us to pay money. Disapointed, very bad.
- (2025-02-17) JACOBHER25: This is an alright app. Came back to it recently because I learned it has an extension for idk how long. I know you guys have to try and make money somehow but I feel like you guys should make it more noob friendly by removing the limiters off of the optimizing tab like being able to optimize only 3 videos and I think I speak for most people when I say this but I don't think 3 videos isn't enough. Maybe like 5 or somewhere below 10 is just right cause lets be realistic here. Nobody is gonna want to optimize lets say a 3 year old video than a video you probably released a week or 2 ago. Thats just my opinion. I feel like it could receive my 5th star for that but for that reason. I'll be petty and make it 4 stars lol edit: nvm, I guess optimize tab is just time limited cause now I can only optimize one video. 1 star deduction
- (2025-02-17) Dr. Unachukwu: It has been so helpful to have this tool to use for my channel. I started 10 months ago and I just hit 10,000 subscribers today.
- (2025-02-15) Muntianu Cristian: The free version is working quite good! The problem, is that the pricing of their paid version is too high for the amount of stuff you're getting! The AI coach most of the time errors out and gives 1 month old data instead of up to date stuff. Moreover, the AI thumb generator is garbage and doesn't manage to produce on context thumbnails. Their tag suggestion is out of context every single time too. So, free version, ok, paying 18$ for the paid version? No sir. Never again.
- (2025-02-14) Dr. Alfredo L. Didier PhD.: So Far so good I would like for you to help me with programing the correct subtitles from spanish to English to reach the english audience. Thank you!
- (2025-02-11) Little Blue Gamer: This extension exploits small creators. Use TubeBuddy Instead.
