Hookrate — Research & Analytics for Creators

Channel analytics, outlier scoring, monetization checks and revenue estimates, on the pages you already browse.

HookRate turns a channel page into a research surface. Everything it shows is calculated from publicly visible data, on your machine, with no account and no server. WHAT YOU GET • Channel analytics — subscribers, views, average and median views per video, uploads per month, channel age, average length, category and geography. • Outlier scoring — how far a video beat the channel's own median, measured against the median rather than the mean so a single viral hit cannot hide every other result. Shorts and long-form are scored separately. • Format clustering — which recurring title patterns and video lengths beat the channel's median. A format is repeatable in a way a single lucky video is not. • Monetization detection — an inferred verdict with its confidence and the evidence behind it, including YouTube Partner Program eligibility against both the watch-hours and the Shorts paths. • Revenue estimates — views x category RPM x geography, shown as a range, with every assumption listed and every figure overridable in Settings. • Revenue advice — a ranked list of what would actually move the number, with the arithmetic shown for each suggestion. • Transcripts, comment sentiment, sponsorship scans and viewer-request mining. • A swipe file, a channel tracker with growth deltas, a feed filter, and a thumbnail and title tester that previews your asset in the live grid. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS YouTube publishes no monetization field and no RPM for other people's channels, so those figures are estimates, and Hookrate labels them as estimates everywhere they appear. Confidence levels and the reasoning behind each verdict are shown rather than hidden. PRIVACY No account. No telemetry. No advertising. No server. Nothing you do is transmitted anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to go. Lookups are made without cookies, so your YouTube session is never attached to them. Your swipe file and settings never leave your browser profile. Hookrate is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
