YouTube Research

Find videos and channels, compare outliers, and analyze references before writing.

Search and compare

1. Open YouTube Research and enter a specific topic or creator. Use the available filters to narrow your search.
2. Review titles, channels, views, dates, and available outlier scores. Change the sort order when useful.
3. Open a promising result and request analysis when you need a transcript or deeper reference material.
4. Save useful examples to a Collection and compare several references before choosing an angle.

What an outlier score means

An outlier score compares performance with an estimated channel baseline when that data is available. The application can also receive a provider-supplied score or fallback value. Treat the number as a research signal, not an exact prediction or a guarantee of future views.

Costs

• YouTube search: 25 credits.
• Channel fetch: 10 credits.
• Video analysis: 5 credits.

Plan credits refresh according to your billing period. Purchased credits are separate and do not expire. Open Settings → Billing to check the balance.

Turn research into a decision

Note the audience, promise, evidence, and opening. Build an original brief around what you learned. See the outlier research workflow.
