I just installed the free version of Tubebuddy. I loved the keyword search function until it locked me out, now it just prompts for me to pay for it. Helpful as it was I'm not paying $9/mo to use it. My channel is new and just a hobby which isn't earning me anything, I don't need it to become an expense at this time.
The rest of the free features are okay but not super useful, I'm not sure if I'll keep Tubebuddy installed or get rid of it. Seems like you need to pay to really get any value out of it.
All I really want is a keyword search tool. Are there any useful and truly free SEO tools out there to use for Youtube?
