Paste any public video and see its views, likes, comments, engagement rate, tags and upload time next to the channel’s recent videos, so you can tell whether it beat the channel’s usual numbers.

Paste a video link

Use a public YouTube URL, Shorts URL, or 11-character video ID.

2

Start with Overview

Compare the video with the fetched channel sample, then review public counts, interaction ratios, and metadata.

3

Use Next steps

Open Next steps for the clearest findings and suggested actions. Details and Channel context contain the supporting data.

What the results mean

Engagement Rate
Likes and comments divided by views. Compare it with similar videos from the same channel; it does not measure watch time or satisfaction.
Metadata Score
A YouTool checklist for title length, description detail, tags, hashtags, and links. It is not a YouTube ranking score.
Tag Analysis
Shows the tags attached to the video. Tags have a limited role, but they can help with close variants and common misspellings.
Upload Timing
Shows the published day and time. Use your own Audience report before choosing a posting schedule.
Channel Context
Compares public counts with a fetched recent-video sample and shows the sample median or average. It does not explain why a video performed differently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data does the Video Analyzer pull?
Public title, description, tags, views, likes, comments, duration, publish date, and thumbnails from YouTube.
Can I analyze private or unlisted videos?
Private videos are unavailable. An unlisted video may work when its direct link is accessible through YouTube's API.
Can I analyze competitor videos?
You can paste a public video URL or ID when YouTube returns the required public fields.
Is the metadata score the same as YouTube's ranking signal?
No. It is a YouTool metadata checklist. YouTube uses private signals this tool cannot see, including watch behavior and viewer satisfaction.
Is this the same as YouTube Analytics?
No. YouTube Analytics in Studio shows private numbers like watch time and traffic sources, and only for your own videos. This video analysis uses public data, so it works as a checker for any public video, including other creators’.
Is the Video Analyzer free?
You get free uses every week. YouTool Pro, a one-time payment, removes the weekly limit.
Does this tool require a YouTube account?
No. Connecting YouTube adds a comparison with your own channel.
