WHAT YOU GET
Honest numbers, not vanity metrics.
The numbers that matter
Subs, total videos, and median views — the three metrics that actually describe a channel's shape.
Median, not average
Average view counts are distorted by outliers. Median tells you what a typical upload actually gets.
Instant, authoritative
Pulled live from the official YouTube Data API — same source the platform uses for its own analytics.
STATS ARE A SNAPSHOT. OUTLIERS ARE THE FILM.
Three numbers is a glimpse.
Outlier detection is the whole story.
VANTAGEVID scans a channel's full catalogue, computes the performance ratio for every single video, and surfaces the ones that beat the median by 3×–15×. These are the hooks and formats your next upload should be modelled on — not templates, real data.

Frequently asked
Why show median views instead of total views?
Median is more honest. A channel with one 10M-view hit and 49 videos at 5k views has a bloated average — the median reveals the real baseline performance.
Why only 3 recent uploads?
For a free tool, 3 is the right number — enough to see if the channel is active and what they're shipping now, without burning YouTube API quota unnecessarily.
What does VANTAGEVID's Intelligence Hub add?
The full Outlier Detection scans the channel's entire catalogue, computes a performance ratio for every video vs the channel median, and surfaces the ones that beat it by 3×–15× — with retention data, hook analysis, and the patterns behind the wins.
Is there a rate limit?
