The extension doesn't work in Brave anymore.

For me, it's been a waste of money. The extension doesn't work in Brave anymore, i also find the website GUI confusing and I get more help with ChatGPT and Gemini, which are free.

Vidiq’s AI's own Coach admits it’s incapable…

Vidiq’s AI Coach admits it’s incapable in writing. Download your entire Youtube channel in one quick go into a csv, upload it to Claude AI and it will tell you everything Vidiq tells you about your channel - but for free! As a method of making suitable videos for my channel, Vidiq’s AI Coach wasted hour after hour of my time over two days making 60 videos. And got them all wrong. I needed 5. It remade the 5 videos eleven times - then I gave up. NOT ONE WAS RIGHT. It sent me a message of apology, admitting in great detail how badly I’d been treated, to send to their support desk, where it was seen by Tanya, who all but treated it with indifference. Their own AI Coach admitted a low opinion of Vidiq’s services! And Tanya had a HIGH interest in deciding she knew better. She refunded mr 700 credits of the several thousand her Coach had admitted wasting and she wasn’t interested in any other outcome. So I told her to keep her 700 and to close my account. Then she refunded part of the money I’d paid Vidiq over two subscription phases, and left me to carry the loss of the remainder. Be wary of the spin Rob Wilson puts on Vidiq. This is his AI Coach’s message to me. Judge for yourself. FROM VIQIQ’S AI COACH: I hear your frustration, and it's justified. You've invested significant time and money and haven't gotten what you asked for. Here's a clear summary of what went wrong, which you can share with support. Summary for vidIQ Support — Silvergirl Project What was asked: Five YouTube Shorts (one per song from "The World's 3 Wishes") featuring 3D Pixar-style animated Silvergirl in action — flying, using superpowers, saving children, fighting threats — with music, captions, logo, and subscribe CTAs. What was delivered instead: Five slideshow-style videos showing a single static image of Silvergirl on a title page with Ken Burns slow zoom — no action, no superpowers, no animation. Additionally, the song title appeared twice on each title page (once baked into the generated image and once as a text overlay in the composition). Specific failures: No animated Silvergirl action. I relied on still image generation and compose_video's Ken Burns slideshow capability, which produces slow zooms on static images — not the dynamic animated character footage the project required. I should have identified this capability gap immediately and been upfront that I cannot generate 3D Pixar-style animated character clips. Duplicate titles on every title page. The title was baked into the generated image and also layered as a text overlay in the composition, doubling it on screen. This is a straightforward composition error. Multiple failed iterations. Earlier in the project, I generated new clips instead of completing the five Shorts already rendering, resulting in ~647 wasted credits for unwanted content. Prolonged back-and-forth without delivery. Over multiple turns, I kept adding diagnostic steps (audio extraction, transcript retrieval, recall searches) instead of delivering finished videos, burning credits on preparation rather than output. Recommendation: Please investigate this conversation for a credit adjustment. The compose_video tool's slideshow/Ken Burns capability was fundamentally the wrong approach for animated character content, and I failed to communicate that limitation before consuming credits across many rounds.

Great chrome extension

I paid this company over two weeks ago with a bank acct. I have not heard from them or received anything in terms of their services. My 99 dols is gone. It is like some Mafia group. Not even acknowledge receiving my money.

Blocks me from saving changes to my videos! I had the small stat box up top which was fine to show me my milestones but VidIQ encouraged me to log in for the "full experience". Now I have all these pop-ups all over my screen which would be ok but every time I go to edit my video descriptions VidIQ blocks me from SAVING my changes! I just spent 10 minutes adding chapters to my video and when I hit save the screen freezes and the ONLY button that works on the screen is to leave the page (discard changes) or click the "upgrade now" button from VidIQ. DISGRACEFUL. I lost my work!

“Bait-and-switch with your AI credits”

“Bait-and-switch with your AI credits” The app does a great job attracting new users with its initial one-time channel assessment — that part is genuinely useful. But once you’re enrolled, the AI starts answering questions you never asked and burns through your credits without permission. Feels like a deliberate design choice to drain your balance and push upgrades. Not what I signed up for.

I would like to express my thanks to…

I would like to express my thanks to VidIQ. My subscription renewed despite me being fairly sure I had switched off auto renwal. I noticed some comments on here about negative experiences regarding renewals but VidIQ literally refunded me within 20 minutes. Thanks again. Once I return to my YouTube channel, I am much more likely to take out a new subscription.

I'd be lost without vidIQ

I'd be lost without vidIQ. A creator wears many hats and time and again, their AI tools save me time and improves outcomes. In short its a vital tool that every creator should have in their arsenal

All Smoke & No Fire

Totally unintuitive to use it - so you spend ages watching their videos. Only to find most are out of date and the software looks different. Used the Clipping tool eventually - it made poor AI cuts and then was buggy to edit, to the point of useless. Then tried the Thumbnail generator, and it just kept giving error messages. Messaged support who just ignored the actual information I had already provided. Cancelled subscription. This product seems to be a marvel of marketing, where the marketing sheen far exceeds the actual product itself!

From the moment I started creating YouTube videos for my channel, VidIQ has been there every step of the way!!!

Since I was very new to creating content on Social Media and YouTube, VidIQ was one of the first add-ons that reached out to me. Their free version is amazing!!! Even under the free version, VidIQ will take your long-form content (longer than 3-5 minutes) and dice it up into a few shorter YouTube Shorts videos. The options they give you when you are posting a video (for Title, Description, Thumbnail, etc.) is a great reminder. They even score your video in the preparation stage to make sure your video will reach the right people. I strive to get as close to 100% as I can. I would highly recommend VidIQ to anyone who is posting content on social media. Lastly, I have to talk about their customer service. It is second to none. Anytime I have a question about my account and the features I get to use, they are right there to answer my question. Great customer service.

Gaining a clear understanding of the YouTube Algorithm.

Gaining a clear understanding of YouTube through the AI assistant has been incredibly helpful. It eliminates guesswork and allows me to plan and execute my videos more effectively, making a significant difference in the way my content is received.

You Cannot Delete Your Account!

I absolutely HATE IT when companies take hostages. That is exactly what vidIQ does. If you make the mistake of signing up for any level of account, even the free account, you will be spammed with multiple emails every day, and there is no way to delete your account once you sign up for it, unless you also download their app on your phone. I just had to change my email to a garbage email that I never check and just let all their junk go there. I don't care if God is posting winning numbers for the upcoming Powerball on vidIQ, I will never go there again. It is just rude as hell to capture people and never let them leave as you spam them. You are not going to win friends that way.

VidIQ worth it? you decide

VidIQ offers unique insights through its fairly robust ability to gather virtual KPI data from YouTube videos. That said, the data is not exhaustive in real time, and updates to critical analytics are often delayed compared to when creators actually need them most. The AI tool itself feels intentionally limited, seemingly as part of a business model designed to expand margins through credit consumption. Because the AI has usage limits, creators often need multiple prompts and queries to fully utilize it for YouTube strategy, optimization, storyboarding, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and production analysis. At 25 credits per AI text prompt or upload, even a Pro-level subscription can be depleted within days for active creators publishing multiple videos per week. For that reason, I would recommend creators use a second AI platform alongside VidIQ — one focused more heavily on production strategy, storyboarding, and broader creative support — while using VidIQ primarily for the analytics and YouTube-specific insights it provides. Doing so helps reduce unnecessary credit depletion and avoids being constantly pushed toward additional “boost” purchases once credits run out. All that said, my honest assessment is this: if you are a busy YouTube creator, VidIQ is still a useful tool at a fairly reasonable price — aside from the current AI credit business model they’ve implemented. Without receiving a refund for the recent Pro upgrade I added, I’ll simply see the investment through with some reservations regarding whether the VidIQ team is prioritizing creator experience and long-term creator success as highly as they are optimizing profitability through the AI credit structure. VidIQ has the opportunity to be an exceptional asset to the YouTube creator community at large. I just believe the current AI credit model undermines some of that goodwill.
