Free YouTube Channel Audit
Paste your channel to compare transcript patterns in public channel-relative overperformers and underperformers. Free, no login.
The scan ranks your recent uploads against your channel's median views, reads the captions of your top and bottom performers, and reports recurring differences. Every text claim comes with a quote from the public transcript. The scan does not establish why a video received its views.
See published channel breakdowns for examples of what the scan surfaces.
What you get
Group-level patterns
Recurring differences in the overperformer and underperformer groups, tied to verbatim transcript quotes.
One pattern to review
A recurring script difference prioritized for review, plus the public view-gap arithmetic used by the scan. The two are not a causal estimate.
A rule to test
One concrete writing rule derived from the public comparison, presented as a test rather than a guaranteed result.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a YouTube channel audit tool?
Yes. The scan is built from public data: it ranks recent long-form uploads against the channel median, groups clear overperformers and underperformers, and reports recurring transcript differences with verbatim quotes. It does not use private retention data or establish why the videos performed differently. Processing time varies; no login or payment is required.
What does the channel scan analyze?
The channel's recent public long-form uploads, up to the tool's current limit. It ranks them against the channel's median views, groups clear overperformers and underperformers, and reads available captions for recurring differences. The report includes transcript-backed patterns, one prioritized difference, public view-gap arithmetic, and one rule to test.
Is it really free?
Yes. The headline findings show with no email. The full report (the remaining patterns, public view-gap arithmetic, and a writing rule to test) unlocks with your email. One scan per day per person, no credit card. The paid product is different: the scan compares public uploads, while the paid audit reviews a supplied script.
What data does the scan use?
Public data only: video titles, view counts, and captions. No login, no YouTube account connection, and no access to your private analytics. If you own a channel and want it excluded from scans, contact us and we will block it.
How are the patterns found?
By comparison, not by generic advice. The scan splits videos into groups above and below the channel median, then reads the captions for recurring textual differences. Every pattern must carry a verbatim quote from one of your own transcripts. The differences are observational, not causal. No quote, no claim.
Why does the scan need captions?
Because the patterns come from what is actually said in the videos. A video without captions has nothing to quote, so it cannot be used as evidence. If too few of your top and bottom videos have captions (auto-generated ones count), the scan will tell you it does not have enough to work with.
Can I scan a channel I do not own?
Yes. Everything the scan reads is public, so you can scan any channel with enough long-form uploads: yours, a competitor, or a channel you want to learn from. Channels that have asked to be excluded are skipped.
