YouTube Upload Frequency Analyzer
See exactly how often any public channel posts. This tool calculates the average time between uploads, uploads per week, and the channel's most active posting day, based on its recent video history.
How it works
This tool pulls a channel's recent uploads via the official YouTube Data API and measures the time gap between each one. From that it calculates the average number of days between uploads, an estimated uploads-per-week figure, and which day of the week the channel posts on most often — giving you a quick read on how consistently a channel publishes.
How to use this tool
- Enter a channel's @handle, URL, or channel ID.
- Hit Analyse Upload Frequency.
- See the average posting cadence and most active upload day.
- Scroll the list to see recent uploads with the gap between each one.
Frequently asked questions
How is the average gap calculated?
The tool takes the span of time covered by the sampled videos and divides it by the number of gaps between them, giving the average number of days between uploads across that period.
Why does it only look at recent videos?
Recent uploads reflect a channel's current posting rhythm rather than being skewed by an old, less active period. It's the fairest read on how often they're publishing right now.
What counts as the "most active day"?
It's the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) that appears most often across the sampled upload dates — useful for spotting a channel's regular posting schedule.
Does this include Shorts?
Yes — the sample is pulled from the channel's full uploads feed, which includes regular videos, Shorts and past live streams.
