NUMBERS ARE INTERESTING. OUTLIERS ARE ACTIONABLE.
Subs tell you what a channel is.
Intelligence Hub tells you what's working.
Scan any channel and see which specific uploads beat the channel's own age-adjusted baseline. Outlier detection is the single most reliable signal of a format that the audience actually wants more of.

Frequently asked
How often does the counter update?
Every 2 minutes, pulling the latest value from the official YouTube Data API. YouTube rounds subscriber counts to three significant figures for most channels (for example 46,500,000), and the API returns the same rounded figure, so this tool shows what YouTube reports, not an exact count.
Is this the same API Social Blade uses?
We use the official YouTube Data API channels endpoint, YouTube's documented public source for subscriber counts. We do not know which source other counter sites use.
What's the daily limit?
5 channel lookups per day. Each lookup opens a live session that auto-refreshes for as long as you keep the tab open — so you can watch a channel grow for hours after a single lookup.
Does this replace Intelligence Hub?
No — this is the commodity view. Intelligence Hub shows you which specific videos outperformed the channel baseline (outlier detection), why they worked, and how to replicate that across your own uploads. That's the paid insight.
