Free Tubes · Free / $9.99/mo GOLD · 0 trackers · 0 cookies
Quietly the best overall free tube — largest library, cleanest Blacklight scan of any major tube at 0 trackers and 0 cookies, and a GOLD premium tier with unlimited downloads that nothing else at this price point matches.
Free Tubes · Free · 1 tracker · 4 cookies
The quality king of free tubes — real 4K at 60fps, free downloads in every resolution, and a 50,000-video VR section without paying a cent. But the privacy story was wrong in our earlier assessment: Blacklight found 1 tracker and 4 cookies, not the "cleanest tube" we initially reported. Still a remarkable free product.
