TubeAnalytics vs Viewstats (2026): which should you pick?

Pick TubeAnalytics if

• Fits if your channel is monetized and you want CPM and RPM by video and country
• Works for agencies setting up to 5 client channels against public competitors

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the 7-day trial needs a card and is given once per customer
• Tight if you want history, as Starter keeps 90 days and a year needs Professional at $39 a month yearly
• Pricey if you run more than one channel, since 3 channels mean Professional and 5 mean Enterprise at $119 a month yearly
• Watch out: its pages disagree on AI video ideas, Enterprise only on the homepage and 25, 100 or 500 in the pricing table
• Not for you if your channel isn't monetized, as revenue data needs an eligible channel and rivals are public snapshots only

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
