AICO vs TubeMagic

AICO is no longer available as an active product. ReturnZero ended the service on April 1, 2026, and aico.tv now shows a sunset notice instead of a working editor. The closure page is published in English, Korean, and Japanese.

ReturnZero says AICO provided meaningful value to users and will close the service responsibly. Personal information and usage data will be deleted after the end date under applicable laws, except records that must be kept for legal retention periods.

The notice also states that ReturnZero will keep building voice AI technology outside AICO. Former users with account or data questions can email [email protected] on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

TubeMagic helps YouTube creators script, research, and optimize videos from one dashboard instead of juggling separate apps. Its script writer generates retention-focused drafts in seconds, and the same subscription covers titles, tags, descriptions, thumbnails, keyword research, and upload prep.

Where VidIQ and TubeBuddy lean on analytics and browser-side optimization, TubeMagic puts script drafting first. You paste a channel link to mirror your tone, pick models like Claude 4.0 or GPT-4o, set length from one to twenty minutes, and feed in top-performing videos as inspiration. The site reports over 200K scripts generated and lists creators with large followings as users.

TubeMagic started as Morise.AI in 2023, was acquired by YouTuber Matt Par in January 2024, and by mid-2025 the team narrowed focus to the script writer while keeping the rest of the toolkit available. It suits solo creators, agencies, and channel managers who publish regularly and need faster scripting plus SEO-minded metadata.
