The report card

Best for finding niches for faceless YouTube channels

Nexlev's Chrome extension adds channel analytics, revenue estimates and similar-channel lookups to YouTube, and its MCP brings the same data into Claude or ChatGPT. The Niche Finder, its main research tool, is only in Pro at €39 a month on yearly billing, though. Prices are in euros, the extension is Chrome only, and there are no team plans.

ToolGPA report cardNexlevGraded Oct 23, 2026

Subject	Grade	Comment
Value for money	B	Lite is €10 a month on yearly billing (€13 monthly), below the $15 that marks this category's cheaper quarter. The Niche Finder needs Pro at €39 a month yearly (€42 monthly), about four times as much.
Free plan and trial	C	A free account with no card, but it's the MCP alone, at small daily limits such as 10 channel searches a day. The extension and Niche Finder need a paid plan, with a trial the sign-up button gives as 5 days.
Features	C	40+ extension tools, revenue estimates, a Niche Finder with 21 filters on Pro, MCP, an API and a swipe file. It's built for picking a niche rather than ranking a video in search, and the Niche Finder is Pro only.
Ease of use	C	No rating on record. There's an extension to install, an MCP to hook up to your AI assistant and 21 filters to learn in the Niche Finder.
Platforms and integrations	B	Web and a Chrome extension, with MCP for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Windsurf and an API for n8n. No phone or desktop app, and no Brave or Firefox support yet.

Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Nexlev is for

Fits if you're starting a faceless channel and want to pick its niche from data
Works for creators who want YouTube channel data inside Claude or ChatGPT

Who it is not for

Pricey if the Niche Finder is why you came, as it's Pro only at €39 a month on yearly billing
Skip it if you use Brave or Firefox, as the extension is built for Chrome only
Not for you if a team shares it, as there are no team plans and each person pays separately
Tight if you're staying free, as the free account is the MCP alone at small daily limits
Watch out: prices are in euros, even when the site is read from the US

Good to know

Good for

Creators starting or scaling faceless YouTube channels

Keep it

Nothing Nexlev does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.

It costs $134.47 a year.

What you could not

Search data for YouTube topics and channels.
It plugs into other products, Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code among them, and has an API.
AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Nexlev’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
