YouTube Video Performance Snapshot
See at a glance whether a video is over- or under-performing. This tool compares one video's views, likes, comments and engagement against the channel's recent average.
How it works
This tool fetches a single video's public stats and, in parallel, samples the channel's recent videos to build an average. It then compares the two — showing whether the video is above or below the channel's typical views and engagement, and by how much. It's the fastest way to tell a genuine hit from a quiet release without digging through analytics.
How to use this tool
- Paste the URL of the video you want to check.
- Enter the channel that posted it (@handle or URL).
- Hit Get Snapshot.
- Read the verdict and the side-by-side comparison against the channel average.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to enter the channel too?
The video's own stats don't mean much without a baseline. Entering the channel lets the tool build an average from its recent videos, so it can tell you whether this one is above or below par.
What does the percentage difference mean?
It's how far this video's views (or engagement) sit above or below the channel's recent average. +50% means it got half again as many views as a typical video; -30% means it under-performed by nearly a third.
Is 'average' based on all the channel's videos?
No — it samples the most recent videos (up to 15). That keeps the baseline current rather than being dragged around by very old uploads, giving a fairer comparison.
Can I compare a competitor's video?
Yes. Paste any public video and its channel. It's a useful way to spot which of a competitor's videos genuinely broke out versus which landed flat.
