Statistics + Channel Benchmark
Deep-dive stats for any public video — plus the verdict nobody else gives you: how this video performs against its own channel. "Top 20% for this channel on views/day, below the median on engagement" — computed from the channel's last 10 uploads, per metric. Social Blade stops at channel level; this goes down to the video.
- ● Channel-relative benchmark
- ● Engagement rate & velocity
- ● Compare up to 3 videos
- ● CSV & JSON export
Views, likes, comments, engagement rate, velocity and estimated earnings — for any public video. Add up to 3 to compare them side by side.
The video's percentile against its own channel's last 10 uploads, per metric — 'top 20% on views/day, below median on engagement'. Nobody else goes video-deep.
Every figure comes from the YouTube Data API — the same source YouTube Studio uses — not from scraping or estimates.
Up to 3 videos in one table. Spot which title/thumbnail combination actually outperforms, not just which is older.
No account, no API key of your own, no watermark. Works on desktop and mobile — anywhere a browser runs.
Reference
What each metric actually tells you
Raw view counts reward old videos. The derived metrics normalise for age and reach, which is what makes two videos comparable in the first place.
| Metric | Formula | Healthy range |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement rate | (likes + comments) ÷ views | 3–5%+ |
| Likes per 1K views | likes ÷ views × 1000 | 30–50+ |
| Views per day | views ÷ days since publish | niche-dependent |
| Est. earnings | views ÷ 1000 × RPM $0.5–$4 | band, not a promise |
How to
Judge a video the way an analyst would
Watch, Shorts, live or youtu.be — the live check in the hero confirms the video ID before fetching.
Views, likes, comments and duration become engagement rate, likes per 1K, views/day and an earnings band — age-normalised, comparable.
The signature tab ranks the video against its own channel's last 10 uploads — percentile per metric, median printed next to each value.
Add up to 3 videos for the side-by-side table, or ship everything to CSV / JSON for your own dashboard.
Who it's for
Benchmark before you publish
Creators compare their latest upload against a competitor's equivalent video — same topic, same age — and see whether the gap is reach (views/day) or resonance (engagement rate).
Brand & sponsorship teams vet influencer videos before a deal: real engagement per 1K views is much harder to fake than subscriber counts.
SEO & content teams pull stats for a whole SERP of videos to find the beatable ones — high views but weak engagement usually means a content gap you can win.
Analysts export CSV/JSON and feed it into spreadsheets or dashboards without touching the API or managing quota.
Two ways to judge
Against the niche vs against its own channel
A million views can be a flop and 20K views can be a breakout — it depends entirely on the reference frame. This page gives you both.
Against the niche
Load up to 3 videos — yours and the competitors ranking for the same search — and read the table. The derived metrics make different ages comparable.
What to look for
views/day gap— reach problem: packaging (title + thumbnail) loses the clickengagement gap— resonance problem: viewers click but don't carehigh views + weak engagement— a beatable competitor: demand exists, delivery is soft
Against its own channel
The signature view: percentiles against the channel's last 10 uploads. It answers the question raw numbers can't — did this video over-perform for this audience?
How to read the verdicts
Top 20% on views/day— the packaging or topic broke out of the channel's baselinebelow median engagement— it reached further than the loyal core; normal for breakoutsP50 everywhere— a routine upload; the channel's format, delivered as usual
Social Blade benchmarks channels; this benchmarks the video inside the channel.
Which should I use?
Studying a competitor's breakout — Benchmark it first: if it's top-20% for their channel, the topic did the work, and it's worth copying. Deciding what to make next — Compare the current top results for your target search and hunt the high-views/weak-engagement gap.
One tool, every intent
However you searched for it, this is the page
People land here wanting to check a video's stats, a views checker, an engagement rate calculator or video analytics without opening Studio. One workflow: paste, read, benchmark, export.
Video analytics for videos you don't own
Studio only shows your own videos. This page reads any public video's numbers from the same official API — which is what makes competitor research possible at all.
An engagement rate calculator with context
(Likes + comments) ÷ views is easy math — the hard part is knowing what's normal. The reference table gives niche-agnostic ranges, and the benchmark gives the only range that truly matters: this channel's own.
Views per day beats views
Lifetime views reward age, not quality. Views/day is the velocity metric that puts a week-old upload and a three-year-old evergreen on the same scale — it leads both the compare table and the benchmark.
From one video to the money question
The earnings band here is deliberately wide ($0.5–$4 RPM). When the number starts to matter, the Money Calculator does it properly — niche CPM bands, monetised-view share, and the reverse mode.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I check the statistics of a YouTube video?+
Paste the video URL (watch, Shorts, live or youtu.be link) into the box above. The checker returns views, likes, comments, publish date, duration and the derived metrics — engagement rate, likes per 1,000 views, average views per day and an estimated earnings band.
Is this YouTube video statistics checker free?+
Yes — completely free, no signup, no API key of your own and no limit that matters in practice. Data comes from the official YouTube Data API, so the numbers match what YouTube itself publishes.
How is the engagement rate calculated?+
Engagement rate = (likes + comments) ÷ views × 100. It's the standard proxy for how actively an audience responds. As a rough benchmark: under 2% is low, 3–5% is healthy, above 8% usually means a highly loyal niche audience.
What is the channel benchmark?+
This tool's signature: instead of judging a video against the whole platform, it's ranked against its own channel's last 10 uploads — percentile per metric, with the channel median printed next to each value. 'Top 20% for this channel on views/day, below the median on engagement' tells you whether a video over- or under-performed for that audience, which raw numbers never can.
Can I compare two or three videos side by side?+
Yes — add up to 3 URLs and open the Compare panel. Every metric is laid out in one table so you can see which video wins on views, engagement, velocity and estimated earnings, and by how much.
