Q: Keyword research compared to VidIQ?
In VidIQ they have Related Keywords that will show (without needing to click on the keyword to see the data) the volume, the competition rating of Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High so with this a quick scan down the page and I have the related keywords that have Low volume immediately. So for hundreds of listed keywords if I want on Low compettion, I don't have to waste time one by one clicking on keywords I wouldn't ever create a video on. Does VidTechy have something similar, or do the related keywords requite having to click on each each keyword to find out these things? If you don't have something like this, is there a reason? If you don't have it, would you be adding something like this? Besides this, are there any advantages of your keyword research compared to VidIQ? Do anything keyword wise that VidIQ doesn't?

Jul 24, 2025A: VidTechy pulls real-time keyword suggestions directly from YouTube data API & YouTube’s own auto-suggest system. This ensures you always get fresh, up-to-date, and long-tail keywords that YouTube is actively recommending. This approach is especially useful for new or low-authority channels looking for ranking or rarely discovered keywords.
Currently, in VidTechy, you need to click the “Analyze” button on each keyword to see details like search volume and competition score. We designed it this way to keep the interface fast and clutter-free while giving you full control over what keywords you want to analyze in depth.
Regarding competition scores, Im not sure about VidIQ’s data source or whether their scores are updated live for every user every time with respect to their added channel. In VidTechy, however, all keyword data is pulled live from YouTube, and we calculate competition scores based on your specific channel’s strength each time you analyze. We also show an “Opportunity Finder,” which highlights keywords where your channel actually has a realistic chance to rank.
Because we process live data and calculate competition scores dynamically (taking your channel’s strength into account) every time, providing instant scores for hundreds of keywords at once would consume a significant amount of YouTube’s API credits. Since we offer unlimited research for our users, we need to carefully manage these resources so all members can keep using the platform reliably—this is why the detailed analysis step is done on demand.
Advantages VidTechy offers over VidIQ:
* Breakthrough Opportunity Finder: VidTechy highlights video opportunities where smaller channels are already ranking, giving you actionable insights.
* Channel-Specific Analysis: Competition scores are calculated based on your channel’s exact metrics, not generic scores.
* Fresh, Real-Time, and Unlimited Suggestions: No restrictions on keyword research, and all suggestions are real-time and tailored to what’s trending now.
* Prioritization: We focus on showing you keywords you can actually rank for—saving you time compared to chasing just high-volume, high-competition terms.
