Pros
“Its helping me to understand what content performs and how to improve my videos.”
MC

Maza C.

Consultant

“Saves time with quick tools, stats are helpful.”

Kyshira S.

Digital Content Creator

“Contradicting the pro to this software, the more well-established YouTubers or smaller creators with the most knowledgeable mind are able to view the most critical data behind a paywall. And as a small creator myself that isn't able to purchase the PRO package offered, would just have to stick to the regular data that can be easily found on YouTube Studio or another popular analytical software instead.”

Cons
“Interface feels old, some tools don’t always load right.”

“They haven't done anything to compensate the users for this sudden lack in functionality, so I question whether I really need to keep paying this high monthly feel for something that isn't doing what I originally purchased it to do.”

“The software is a little bit expensive and people who can't afford it are missing out on it's good features.”
