How a lookup works

Type one thing, then read what came back

  1. 1

    Type one thing

    A keyword, a handle, or a link. The page says what the lookup costs before you press Search.
  2. 2

    Read the saved answer

    It stays on your account with charts and plain sentences worked out from it. Opening it again is free until it ages out.
  3. 3

    Follow it to the next lookup

    A creator opens their posts and an app opens its reviews. Following a link only fills the search, so you choose when to spend.

What it does not do

  • YouTube publishes no search-suggestion list, so there is no keyword-ideas lookup for YouTube.
  • Comment themes costs 2. Most tools cost 1.
  • Videos are never downloaded. We keep a small picture of each cover.

Questions people ask

Does it show watch time or revenue?
No. Those are private to the channel owner. We show the public numbers, such as views and likes.
What if a video has no transcript?
The lookup says so. A missing transcript is an answer, so the saved result shows it as empty.
Can I compare two channels?
Follow both under Accounts. We read their subscribers every week and draw them on one growth chart, as percent change so a small channel and a large one compare fairly.
