How we grade them
| 2.8GPASocial BladeGood | 2.4GPAYTLargeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | ABronze is $59.99 a year, $5 a month, well under the $7.20 that's 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. Daily charts need Silver at $149.99 a year ($12.50 a month), just above that quarter's $12. | BThe site shows no pricing or account system, so it looks free, but we couldn't confirm that nothing is paid. It's narrow rather than substantial. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree with ads: profile stats, live counts, projections, top lists of 100 and 5 favorites per platform. You could live on that for checking channels, but daily table data only covers a short window. | BEach tool takes a URL and gives a result with no account on the pages we read, though we couldn't confirm there are no limits. |
| Features | CDaily stats for about 171 million creators on five networks, top lists, a favorites dashboard, PDF report cards and an API. It does tracking fully, but that's a smaller job than this category's, and report cards cover YouTube only. | DOne lookup per tool, with no keyword research, rank tracking or channel dashboard. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record. You type a channel name and the numbers are there, with nothing to connect or set up first. | BNo store rating on record, but you paste a link and read the result with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no app or extension. The Business API is the one way to connect it to anything, and its credits are bought separately beyond the 5 to 50 a month on Silver and up. | CBrowser only, with no integrations or apps listed. |
| Best for | checking any creator's daily numbers | one-off checks on a YouTube channel or video |

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.
