I built this app primarily to help new YouTubers who are researching various videos and channels to gain comprehensive, detailed analysis without the manual grind.
I built this because...
I quickly realized how daunting it was to manually comb through individual videos and dozens of channels just to find basic information — subscriber counts, engagement rates, niche positioning, revenue estimates. The existing tools either cost money, require signups, or don't give you the granular data you actually need for research.
The hardest part was...
Manually doing this with several YouTube tabs opened and constant confusion. Jumping between Social Blade, the actual channel page, individual video pages, trying to screenshot stats, copy-pasting into spreadsheets, losing track of which video belonged to which channel. It was a mess. I'd have 15+ tabs open, forget what I was even looking for, and end up with incomplete data scattered across random notes. That frustration is exactly why I built this — one URL, all the data, exported clean.
Here's what I learned...
- Solve your own problem first. If you're frustrated by something, others are too. I needed this tool, so I built it exactly how I wanted it — no bloat, no paywalls, just clean data and one-click exports.
- Free + useful = organic growth. No signup friction, no credit card walls. Just paste a URL, get your data, export if you want. People share tools that respect their time.
