Tools/Channel watchlist
YouTube competitor tracker
Research
Track any public channel and get told when one of its uploads beats that channel's own typical performance. Measuring against a channel's own median rather than against the niche is what makes the signal usable for a smaller creator: it surfaces the format that worked rather than the channel that is already large.
What it does
- Re-reads the 50 most recent uploads daily and flags anything past the outlier threshold
- Keeps separate baselines for Shorts and long-form, and says which one produced each number
- Says "no baseline yet" where a channel has too few settled uploads, instead of inventing a ratio
- Sends a weekly digest of what was newly flagged, and sends nothing in a week with nothing new
What you bring
Channel URLs or @handles.
What you get
A daily-refreshed feed of overperforming uploads, each savable as an idea in one click.
What it costs
Free. Tracking and the daily refresh spend no credits.
What it cannot do
It measures what happened, never why. A flagged upload tells you a format outperformed that channel's normal output and nothing about the cause. A channel that posts irregularly or recently changed format will not produce a trustworthy baseline, and those are often the interesting ones.
