TubeBuddy Is free tubebuddy good?

The free TubeBuddy works more than just great. You can still get a lot out of it. There are some options available for content creators to try out the paid version. This opened up a whole new TubeBuddy experience.
It's a very good software ... even if it's free ... it works super well, it helped me a lot, especially with the keywords

I used the free Mobile app for the first three years of my channel; thanks in large part to the Mobile App Tag Explorer (and other tools) I was monetized within 1 year, hit nearly 4,000 subscribers and over a quarter-million views without ever using a paid license (of course now I use Legend and DANG, had no idea what I was missing out on).
I jumped on the paid version almost immediately. I already knew the power of SEO from other business attempts.
So I'm going to guess the mobile FREE version is different from the desktop one? Because with the desktop you only get 25 searches. And that's NOT daily I found it. Once you do 25 searches the FREE is DONE

The Mobile free version is different... it is not as robust as the desktop version. I am afraid this is incorrect however in that you are limited to 25 searches per 24 hours. It isn't 'done' once the searches are complete.
TubeBuddy is required to follow certain rules regarding the amount of data that we can access per YouTube's API. Despite that we do offer all of these tools... even those that pull this data... in a free version of the App and Browser Extension. For free. And my ties to TubeBuddy aside I garnered my first 3,000 subscribers, quarter-million views and worked my way into a position with this company using only the free version of the mobile app. So I can attest to the value it provides.
Ok, sorry for my mistake. I just checked and that account is working again. It might have started from the time I did my first search when it was installed which was around 8 pm or so. I tried it again about 3 am and it didn't work? It was a different day and I just figured its day ended at midnight. But, I just used my first search for today and I'll follow my use of it more closely so I know. When I do my tutorials I want to make sure I know what I'm talking about. I do have the Pro version on another account so the comparison between the two is easy for me.
I used the free version to get a taste of the tools and what I really enjoyed was the ability to compare your channel to other channels when you visit them. I also liked finally seeing some metrics of my SEO but I was still having trouble word-smiting searchable tags because I would use up my daily searches within few minutes of using it. So after purchasing the Pro package at half price (because my channel was below 1000 subs), my tool box opened up and my SEO was improved significantly. The SEO optimizer is the reason why I bought it and will continue to use it. The other tools are okay at best. I tried using the Thumbnail maker but it wasn't meeting my design needs, I heard the free music playlist sometimes has issues with YouTube copyright issues, and the only use I get from the desktop app is the Health Report while all other functions are locked for higher paid levels. In a nutshell, TubeBuddy will not guarantee you to get views or subscribers but it will definitely give you a fighting chance by providing you with the tools you need to succeed.
TubeBuddy is a great tool of all but sometimes with the paid version, you would lack some interesting features which may have been of help to your channel but as in general the free version helps a lot just that some features are available on paid versions.
