Authorized channel analytics compared with publishing, SEO and channel-management workflows
TubeAnalytics focuses on authorized channel analytics and public competitor tracking. TubeBuddy offers publishing, SEO and channel-management workflows. Choose by the data and workflow you need; public earnings scenarios are not private revenue reports, and plan limits should be checked before purchase.
TubeBuddy documents keyword and SEO tools, bulk processing, A/B testing, a Thumbnail Analyzer and a Retention Analyzer. It is inaccurate to describe TubeBuddy as lacking thumbnail analysis or retention tools. Check the current plan table for the specific feature, license type and channel allowance you need.
Reviewed public vendor documentation and TubeAnalytics plan definitions. This limited comparison distinguishes documented capabilities from unverified claims; it does not independently benchmark performance.
| Feature | TubeAnalytics | TubeBuddy |
|---|---|---|
| Main workflow | Authorized analytics and public competitor tracking | SEO, bulk tools, thumbnail and retention analysis |
| Competitor tracking capacity | 5 Starter / 10 Professional / 20 Enterprise | Check current plan and license terms |
| Connected channels | 1 Starter / 3 Professional / 5 Enterprise | Verify current vendor plan |
| Pricing basis | $19 / $49 / $149 standard monthly | Verify current checkout price and billing period |
| Private competitor revenue or retention | Not available from public channel data | Public data does not establish private metrics |
TubeAnalytics combines authorized YouTube channel analytics with public competitor tracking. Starter supports 1 channel and 5 competitors, Professional supports 3 channels and 10 competitors, Enterprise supports 5 channels and 20 competitors. Private metrics require channel-owner authorization and depend on the data YouTube makes available.

TubeAnalytics combines authorized YouTube channel analytics with public competitor tracking.

Private metrics require channel-owner authorization and depend on the data YouTube makes available. TubeAnalytics standard monthly plans are $19, $49 and $149. Compare connected-channel capacity separately from competitor capacity. Verify TubeBuddy's current checkout price, billing period, license terms and feature limits before buying; a dated promotional monthly equivalent is not a verified current price. This is a documentation-based comparison, not a hands-on performance benchmark. No customer revenue lift, retention improvement or testing result is claimed. Public competitor data cannot reveal another creator's private revenue, watch time or retention. A missing feature in this short table means it was not evaluated here, not that a vendor cannot offer it.
Limited documentation comparison. Verify current capabilities and prices with the vendor; an omission does not establish that a feature is unavailable.
