Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Multi at 100% against TubeBuddy's 24%. Multi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). TubeBuddy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (434 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TubeBuddy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Multi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Multi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TubeBuddy has 434 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of TubeBuddy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Multi's.
TubeBuddy ships an update every 2 weeks, Multi every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
