ChannelVane: Channel Research for YouTube

Check YouTube channel monetization, estimate revenue, spot outlier videos and find similar channels. Export to CSV.

ChannelVane adds a research panel to YouTube channel and video pages, so you can size up a channel or a whole niche in seconds. No account, no sign-up and no API key. MONETIZATION CHECK See whether a channel, and the video you're watching, appears to be monetized. The result comes from YouTube's public ad signals on a sample of the channel's uploads, and shows Monetized, Not Monetized, Music Video or Can't Check. When a check can't run, ChannelVane says so instead of guessing. ESTIMATED REVENUE A monthly ad-revenue range for every channel, and an earned-so-far range for the video you're watching. It's based on the channel's monthly views and typical RPM for its video category, adjusted for Shorts and video length. Channels that aren't monetized show $0. Hover any figure to see exactly how it was calculated. CHANNEL STATS AT A GLANCE - Subscribers, total views and video count - Average views per video and recent median views - Estimated monthly views and uploads per month - Average video length, channel age, last upload, format and category OUTLIER VIDEOS Recent uploads ranked by outlier score (how far each video beat the channel's average), with views per hour, so you can spot the topics that took off. SIMILAR CHANNELS Find channels in the same niche using topic overlap, recommendation patterns and title similarity. Choose a quick search (about 12 channels) or an in-depth search (about 25). Every result shows a similarity score, key stats, monetization status and estimated revenue. Sort by similarity, revenue, subscribers, views, upload frequency or channel age, and filter to monetized channels only. EXPORT TO CSV Download a full channel analysis (stats, revenue estimate and every recent upload with views, views per hour, outlier score and estimated earnings), or your similar-channel results, as a spreadsheet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ChannelVane has no servers. It reads public data from YouTube directly in your browser, caches results only on your device, and never collects or sends your personal data anywhere. GOOD TO KNOW - Works in YouTube's light and dark themes. - Open any channel from the toolbar popup by pasting a handle or channel URL. - Requests are rate-limited and cached to stay light on YouTube. Monetization status, revenue and some statistics are estimates. YouTube does not publish other channels' earnings; revenue figures are ad-revenue ranges based on typical RPMs, not exact payouts. ChannelVane is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
