Compare two YouTube channels head-to-head

Put two channels side by side — subscribers, cadence, views, top videos — then take a prompt to Claude to see who's winning, why, and what one can learn from the other.

vs

Tip: put your channel as A to get "what you can learn from B" recommendations. Figures use each channel's recent uploads.

Why this exists

Benchmark against a competitor — then ask AI what to do about it.

Comparing two channels usually means squinting at two browser tabs. This lays them side by side in one view — reach, cadence, what's actually performing — and hands you a clean head-to-head for Claude, so instead of just seeing the gap you get a plan to close it.

Questions

Quick answers

How do I compare two YouTube channels?

Paste a channel URL, @handle or name into each box and press Compare. You get a side-by-side breakdown — subscribers, uploads, cadence, median and mean views — plus a combined CSV and a prompt to analyse the two channels in Claude.

What does it compare?

Headline stats (subscribers, total uploads) plus recent-performance figures calculated over each channel's most recent uploads: how often they post, their median and mean views, and their top recent video. It uses only public data from the YouTube API.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Completely free, no signup, no limits. Built for our own competitor research and put on the site as-is.

How do I analyse the comparison with AI?

Press “Copy for Claude” to copy a clean head-to-head pack, then paste it into Claude (or any AI) and use one of the built-in prompts — head-to-head, what channel A can learn from B, or the positioning gaps between them.
