Top 5 RapidTags Alternatives
RapidTags is a YouTube keyword tool that launched around Oct 2016. They had a freemium business model combining some free tools with paid ones. Unfortunately around April 2020, they started facing issues with the YouTube API quota limits and then removed the paid version. Since the free version of the tool is quite limited, users have been searching for alternatives.
