Entidex vs vidIQ
vidIQ optimizes you inside YouTube. Entidex shows what AI says after you publish.
vidIQ is a platform-native optimization suite: keywords, tags, competitors inside YouTube search and recommendations. What it cannot see is the layer above the platform — when someone asks an AI engine for the best channel in your niche, whether you are the answer, whether the facts about you are right, and whether you stay the recommendation under follow-up questions. That is the layer Entidex observes.
Keep vidIQ for keyword research, tag suggestions, thumbnail A/B ideas and ranking inside YouTube search. Add Entidex as the layer after publish — the entity intelligence view of how AI engines describe, recommend, and keep recommending you.

Frequently asked questions
Is Entidex a vidIQ replacement?
No. vidIQ optimizes how you rank inside YouTube search and recommendations; keep it for tags, keywords and packaging. Entidex is the post-publish layer: it observes how AI engines describe and recommend your channel, verifies the facts against your record, and alerts you when the narrative drifts. Most channels that use Entidex keep their optimization suite.
Why does AI representation matter for a YouTube channel?
AI answers increasingly decide discovery: when a viewer asks an AI engine for the best channels in a niche, the engine names a handful and omits the rest. YouTube itself now answers questions with an AI layer inside the platform. Being described accurately — and surviving follow-up questions — is a discovery surface no platform-native tool measures.
What does the free Creator AI Report Card include?
Resolve your channel once and you get the shareable card: AI Visibility, per-engine accuracy against your verified record where probes have run, Decision Survival, and the exact facts engines get wrong. It runs on cached reads and costs nothing.
