YouTube channel audit
Benchmark any channel — subscribers, total views, upload cadence and averages, straight from the official API.
Paste any channel's URL, @handle or ID and this audit pulls its public numbers from the YouTube Data API — subscribers, total views and video count — then does the maths that actually tells a story: average views per video, how often the channel uploads, how old it is, and how far its videos reach beyond its subscriber base.
It's the fastest way to size up a competitor or a niche. Instead of eyeballing a channel and guessing, you get the averages that reveal whether a channel is genuinely growing, how consistently it ships, and what "normal" performance looks like for your topic.
What the numbers actually tell you
Three figures do most of the work. Average views per video is the clearest read on content-market fit — big subscriber counts mean little if recent uploads flop. Uploads per month exposes consistency, which is the single biggest lever most channels can pull. And views per subscriber hints at how much of a channel's reach comes from the algorithm and search rather than its existing audience. Read together, they separate channels that are compounding from channels that are coasting.
Turn a benchmark into a plan
Once a channel stands out, dig into its individual uploads with the video analytics checker, then model the revenue side with the subscribers-to-money calculator and YouTube money calculator.
Benchmarks show you the gap; consistency and reach close it. If you want to give your best uploads the early momentum the algorithm rewards, real YouTube views and subscribers from active accounts can help you catch up faster.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check another channel's statistics?
Paste the channel's URL, @handle or ID above. The tool reads its public snapshot — subscribers, total views and video count — straight from the official YouTube Data API, then works out the averages for you.
Are the numbers accurate?
They come directly from YouTube's own API, so they match what YouTube reports. Note that YouTube rounds public subscriber counts (e.g. 12.3K), and some creators choose to hide their subscriber number entirely.
Can I audit my own channel?
Absolutely. Running your own channel through it is the quickest way to see how your average views per video and upload cadence stack up against the competitors you benchmark.
What does 'views per subscriber' mean?
It's lifetime views divided by subscribers — a rough proxy for how far a channel's videos travel beyond its own base. A high ratio suggests the algorithm and search are pushing videos to non-subscribers.
