Competitor Intelligence

Discover, monitor and compare competing channels using the official YouTube Data API, then surface the videos that substantially outperform their own channel’s baseline.

Discovery and watchlists

Find channels by niche or keyword search, or add them by channel URL, @handle, channel ID or any of their video URLs.
Organize competitors into multiple watchlists per channel workspace, each with its own scan interval and outlier thresholds.
Public data only: channel statistics, video titles, descriptions, publication dates, durations, views, likes and comments where public, and thumbnails.

Outlier detection engine

Outlier Multiplier = Video Views ÷ Channel Median Views per Video, computed from mature videos only (default: older than 7 days, at least 5 videos).
Default thresholds of 2× (promising), 5× (strong) and 10× (exceptional) are heuristics you can adjust per watchlist.
Age-adjusted multipliers, views per day, sample sizes and data freshness are shown next to every result. Zero medians and small samples are never classified.

CTR Proxy Analysis

A clearly labeled directional index combining relative performance, reach beyond the subscriber base, title clarity and thumbnail legibility.
It never claims to reveal a competitor’s actual click-through rate.

Thumbnail intelligence

Real pixel analysis of public thumbnails: dominant colors, contrast, colorfulness, background complexity, approximate text density, subject placement and brightness.
Patterns are used to brief original thumbnail concepts — never to copy designs.

Reports and monitoring

Outlier leaderboard, channel comparisons, topic and format performance, content gaps, upload frequency over 7/30/90/180 days, historical observations and alerts.
Scheduled scans within plan and API-quota limits, with last/next scan, quota usage, errors and monitoring costs.
CSV export on every plan, PDF on Creator Pro and Studio, JSON on Studio.

Historical data before a channel is added is not available from the API; dated observations begin when you start monitoring. A labeled demonstration dataset is available for evaluation without an API key.
