📺 YouTube Channel Audit
Paste any YouTube channel URL or @handle to instantly audit its size, recent views, engagement and upload cadence. No API key or signup needed — public channel data comes from the YouTube Data API via CreatorAiHub’s server.
e.g. @MrBeast, youtube.com/@MrBeast, youtube.com/c/MrBeast or a channel ID starting with UC…
Some channels hide their subscriber count or restrict videos in certain regions. Signing into YouTube in another tab first can help you view any videos flagged as "sign-in required" when you click through:
What this tool checks
- Channel identity — name, avatar, custom URL and country.
- Size — subscribers (when public), total lifetime views and total public videos.
- Recent performance — the latest 15 uploads with view, like and comment counts.
- Average engagement — likes-plus-comments over views across the recent sample.
- Upload frequency — how many days between uploads and uploads per week.
How to use this tool
- Paste a YouTube channel URL, @handle or channel ID in the input above.
- Click Run Audit (or press Enter) to fetch public data.
- Review the channel card, headline metrics and the recent video list.
- Click any recent video to open it on YouTube.
Good to know
- The channel URL or @handle you enter is sent to CreatorAiHub’s server, which asks the official YouTube Data API for the channel’s public statistics and recent uploads. No sign-in is needed and nothing is stored.
- Scores and benchmarks are estimates calculated from public numbers (YouTube rounds subscriber counts and hidden counts are unavailable); they don’t include private analytics such as watch time or revenue.
- CreatorAiHub is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. The audit fetches only public channel data through CreatorAiHub's free proxy — you don't need to bring any credentials or sign in.
Why is the subscriber count showing as "Hidden"?
Channels can hide their subscriber count in YouTube's settings. When they do, no public tool can display it — including this one.
How is engagement rate calculated?
Engagement rate is (likes + comments) divided by views, averaged across the most recent 15 public videos. It's a rough proxy for how actively viewers respond to the channel's content.
How is upload frequency worked out?
We take the publish dates of the recent uploads, measure the gaps between them in days, and convert the average gap into uploads per week.
Can I audit my competitors with this?
Yes — as long as the channel is public. The tool only uses data that YouTube already shows to anyone visiting the channel.
