Which one is for you
Pick 1of10 if
- Fits if you pick your next video by studying ones that broke out in your niche
- Works for faceless and multi-channel operators who reuse formats that already worked
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you make lots of thumbnails or edits, as Basic's 150 credits cover about 7 thumbnails or 2 edited videos
- Tight if you're staying free, with 60 credits and only 5 results in outlier and thumbnail search
- Pricey if you need MCP, the API or team seats, which start at Pro for $69 a month on yearly billing
- Skip it if you want keyword research or rank checks, as the listing shows neither
- Watch out: Ultra is sold yearly only at $4,999, and refunds only cover the first 7 days
Pick Viewstats if
- Fits if you want any channel's growth and estimated revenue without paying
- Works for creators studying which videos break out in their niche, if $49.99 a month is in the budget
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want the research tools, as Outliers, Thumbnail Search, Competitors and Alerts all need Pro
- Not for you if a team shares the account, as Pro is for one person and members can't be added
- Skip it if you're on Android, as the app is on the App Store only
- Skip it if you want keyword research or tag help, as none is on record
- Watch out: the pricing page fills Pro's price in by script; the $49.99 comes from the help center

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
