TubeBuddy Review 2024 | Do You Still Need It Since YT Rolled Out New Features?

YouTube has rolled out some new features to help creators grow, like the Research Tab and AB Thumbnail testing. So what does this mean for TubeBuddy? Do you still need the Tube Buddy Chrome Extension that delivers extra insights into your channel and helps you plan videos? Today, I'm going to compare YouTube and TubeBuddy's Research and A/B testing tools to see if TubeBuddy is still worth it on 2024.

01:57 I do not have "research" in Analytics. Just: Overview, Content, Audience, Inspiration. Any idea why is that? And how to get research

[EnglishLearnBible]

Thanks Jenn when I press Analytics, I don't see Research tab. I see "Overview", "Content", Audience, and Inspiration only

[Richard_Broom_Photography]

Very interesting. I knew nothing about Tube Buddy. Food for thought! Thank you Jen. Another excellent and useful tutorial. Well received in Scotland!

Your explanation is perfect. You did a great job with the video, I have learned something new about the tube buddy tool

[GameTechTalk]

Another great reason to click your link for a TubeBuddy subscription is that, as per MKBHD's podcast where they discussed A/B Thumbnail from YouTube, it's not exactly like the one from TB. The feature from YouTube analyzes viewing retention based off of the thumbnail, not click-through rate. Now this might have changed but if it remains as what what said a month or so ago, for most creators, TB's alternative is better designed to help understand how to attract potential viewers! Cheers :)

Informative! That was a smooth comparison <3

[robcampbell]

Not sure I can trust advice from someone not using dark mode in YT.... 😂😂😂

[brianurlacher]

Why do I not have access to the research tool under analytics on my YouTube account?

[HollywoodWil]

I don't have the research tab. Also I do have tubebuddy but since the interface changed drastically I don't know how to use tubebuddy now. Do you have a tutorial for the new Tubebuddy UI

[SpoonCrafty]

I don’t see the research tab on my analytics page!

[PearlgraceandCoMusic]

Your videos are so helpful to newbies such as ourselves! Thank you for this info about tube buddy and YouTube’s studio similar helpers.

Super useful. I would not have looked for that YoutUbe analytic feature, but now will. Thank You.

[HorriblySound]

Thank you for the information. This video was very informative :)

[typicallyshadaa]

It’s showing under inspiration and not under research on my computer

[Vidistudios]

Great work Jenn. I learned a lot very quickly.

[marcellobenevenia]

Thank you for this info. We are just starting out and this is way helpful.
What are you using? What would you recommend ?

[ezekielministries]

I am not seeing many of the search terms that you are showing, such as the content gap for shorts, recent videos related to, etc. Is there something I must do to see those?

[Shawnbbeckner]

I hate its permissions so I’ve never downloaded it

[NinjaChan-fi]

Food for thought:
99% of people who have skills to create content lack funds to obtain the basic technology required.
It's interesting how content creators promote gatekeeping and put a price on it.

Your background music in this vid was VERY unnerving and distracting. I actually thought there was another video playing at the same time. Maybe try something without vocals.
