VidlQ

vidIQ (vidiq.com) is a comprehensive AI-powered growth platform designed to help creators optimize their performance on YouTube and, more recently, Instagram. The software functions primarily through a browser extension and mobile app, providing deep Video SEO tools such as keyword research, real-time "Views Per Hour" (VPH) tracking, and a Video Scorecard that evaluates metadata before publishing. Its modern suite is heavily driven by artificial intelligence, featuring an AI Coach for personalized strategy, Daily Ideas for niche-specific inspiration, and automated generators for titles, descriptions, and thumbnails. Beyond optimization, vidIQ offers powerful competitor analysis and trend alerts, allowing creators to benchmark their growth and capitalize on breakout topics within their community. By late 2026, the platform has also expanded into cross-platform analytics, helping creators manage and grow their Instagram Reels and posts alongside their YouTube channel from a single unified dashboard.
