vidIQ

vidIQ is a YouTube growth platform that combines AI ideas, optimization and creator coaching in one product, delivered through a browser extension and a mobile app. Its stated mission is to empower every video creator with the insights and inspiration they need to grow, through an intelligent mix of technology and human expertise. The features page groups its tools by goal: more views through keyword research and a thumbnail maker, more subscribers through a script writer and channel audit, better packaging through title and description generators, and painless publishing through the extension, video clipping and a best time to post.

Competitive tools cover competitors, a scorecard, trend alerts, real-time stats and achievements, while idea discovery offers daily ideas, most viewed and outliers lists. An Optimize feature reviews every video on a channel, an AI Coach gives personalized guidance, and vidIQ MCP brings vidIQ data into Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible assistants. There is also vidIQ for Instagram, and the site cites 20k+ five-star reviews and creator testimonials from channels such as Think Media and Ali Abdaal.

The pricing page lists Free, Boost, Max and Enterprise plans. Free includes 150 AI credits a month, niche trends, content ideas and AI Coach growth tips, Boost adds 2,000 monthly AI credits with thumbnails, unlimited trends research and subscriber insights, and Max includes 6,000 credits with more AI Coach conversations and up to 11 hours of short clipping.
