Getting Started
From account creation to your first outlier scan.
VANTAGEVID hasn't launched yet. This article describes how the product will work once access opens — for Lifetime Deal members first, expected by 15 November 2026, then publicly at launch (after the waitlist batches finish, currently aimed at January 2027). There is no login or dashboard on this site today.
Setup in 4 steps
Create your account
Once public signups open at launch, go to vantagevid.io and click "Start 7-day trial." Enter your name, email, and password. You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account. You do not need a credit card to start your 7-day trial.
Complete onboarding
After verifying your email, you see a 5-item onboarding checklist: complete your profile, set up multi-factor authentication, invite your team (if your plan has more than one seat), set up billing, and explore the features.
Run your first channel scan
Go to Intelligence Hub from the sidebar. Enter any YouTube @handle (yours or a competitor's) and click "Scan Channel." The top 10 outliers appear, each with its score. Results can be up to 30 minutes old, because scans are cached for 30 minutes.
Generate your first hooks
Go to Hook Lab. Enter a video topic (e.g., "How I went from 0 to 100K subscribers"). Click "Generate Hooks." VANTAGEVID returns 8 ranked hooks — one per psychological archetype — each labelled with its archetype and an AI viral-potential score (1–100).
FAQ
Common questions
Does the 7-day trial require a credit card?
No. You get full access to the plan you start the trial on for 7 days with no payment details required. You are only prompted for billing when you choose to upgrade. The trial is for people who sign up at public launch; waitlist invitees subscribe at standard rates.
What counts as a channel scan?
One scan = one YouTube @handle analyzed. The scan fetches your most recent videos (up to 50), calculates the channel baseline, scores each video against that baseline, and surfaces the top 10 outliers. Creator plan includes 100 scans a month, Pro 300 and Agency 1,000, all sharing one monthly allowance.
Can I scan a competitor's channel?
Yes. You can scan any public YouTube channel — yours or anyone else's. This is one of the most popular use cases: scan the top 3 channels in your niche, find their outlier patterns, and build your next video around proven formats.
How long does a scan take?
Scan time depends on the channel and on YouTube's API. Scan results are cached for 30 minutes, so results can be up to 30 minutes old, and a repeat scan within that window may return the same results.
What if I don't see the verification email?
Check your spam/junk folder. If it's not there within 5 minutes, go to the login page and click "Resend verification email." Still nothing? Contact us at [email protected].
What happens when my trial ends?
There is no free tier. Access pauses until you upgrade; only sign-in, billing and account pages stay available.
