| Videos / month | ||
| Channel age |
Every figure above is public. Average views per video is total views divided by video count, so it covers the channel's whole history rather than how it is performing now.
What this is
Comparing two channels means putting their public numbers on the same rows so the difference is immediately visible. What makes a comparison useful is not the subscriber count but the derived figures: average views per video and uploads per month. Two channels with identical subscriber counts can look very different once you see how many videos each needed to get there.
The formula
average views per video = total views ÷ videos published
- total views — every view across the channel's whole history.
- videos published — the current count of public videos.
- Because both cover the entire history, the result is not a picture of current performance.
How it works
Cadence is the video count divided by the channel's age in months. It often explains more than the rest: a channel uploading twice a month for five years and one uploading daily for a year can hold similar video counts, yet they are doing entirely different jobs.
Average views per video spans the whole history, including early videos almost nobody watched. For an older channel it is nearly always below current performance. Treat it as a rough comparison between channels rather than a measure of how either is doing now.
How to use it
- Enter the first channel A URL, @handle, ID or channel name.
- Enter the second channel Both are fetched at once.
- Read the derived rows Average per video and cadence explain more than the totals.
Common questions
- Can I see another channel's private analytics?
- No — only public figures can be read: subscribers, total views, video count and creation date. Watch time, retention and earnings are visible solely to the channel owner in their own dashboard.
- Why is a channel's subscriber count missing?
- A channel owner can hide their subscriber count, and when hidden it is unavailable to anyone through public data. This tool shows it as hidden rather than zero.
- Is the subscriber count exact?
- Not exactly. YouTube rounds subscriber counts above a thousand, so the figure available through public data is the rounded version rather than the true count.
Notes
- Public data only. Retention, watch time and earnings are not externally visible.
- Subscriber counts are rounded by YouTube above one thousand.
