Overview

What channel stats tell you at a glance

Every public YouTube channel exposes a set of aggregate metrics through the Data API — subscriber count, total view count, video count, and the channel's creation date. This tool fetches those figures live so you can benchmark a channel without navigating to it or logging in.

Channel stats are the starting point for any competitive analysis or influencer research. A high subscriber count with low total views suggests a channel that peaked early; a low subscriber count with high total views suggests strong SEO and discovery. Use these four numbers together to build a quick picture before going deeper.

Features

Channel Data Pulled from YouTube

At-a-glance metrics for a channel's size, history, and activity.

Subscriber count

Key
Subs

The channel's public subscriber figure. YouTube rounds large counts, so a channel with 1.23M subscribers may show as 1.2M here.

Total views

Views

Cumulative views across all videos ever published on the channel — a strong signal of long-term reach independent of current subscriber count.

Video count

Videos

Total number of public videos. Combined with total views, this gives you average views per video, a useful consistency metric.

Channel created

Since

The date the channel was created. Older channels with fewer subscribers than newer ones in the same niche may indicate slower growth or a pivot.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the subscriber count look rounded?

YouTube rounds subscriber counts for channels above 1,000. This is a platform-level display choice, not a tool limitation.

Can I check stats for a private channel?

No. Only public channels are accessible via the YouTube Data API.

How current is the data?

Stats are fetched live from the API but YouTube caches them, so figures may be a few hours behind what the channel owner sees in Studio.

Can I look up a channel by username?

Yes. Paste the @handle directly (e.g. @mkbhd) and the tool will resolve it to the channel automatically.

Does this show individual video performance?

No. This tool shows channel-level aggregates. For individual video stats, use the YouTube Video Stats tool.
