ViewStats
YouTube analytics and research tool that surfaces outlier videos, competitor tracking, and thumbnail trends for creators.
ViewStats is a YouTube analytics platform, built with input from MrBeast's team, focused on spotting content ideas before they go viral. Its Outlier Videos feature flags videos that are overperforming relative to a channel's or niche's norm, Competitor Tracking monitors what's working for other channels in the same category, and Thumbnail Analysis identifies high-performing thumbnail styles for a niche. Trend Alerts notify creators as new patterns emerge, and Research Boards let teams collect and organize inspiration. A Business plan adds unlimited usage credits, more advanced analytics and creator discovery, and API access for teams and agencies managing research across many channels.
