About SocialStatsIQ
Free YouTube statistics and creator tools
SocialStatsIQ is a free, no-account-required tool for looking up YouTube channel statistics, estimating creator earnings, and predicting subscriber milestones. All data is sourced directly from the official YouTube Data API v3 — the same API used by developers and researchers worldwide to access publicly available channel information.
What Data We Use
Every statistic on this site is pulled from the YouTube Data API v3, provided by Google LLC. This includes subscriber counts, total view counts, video counts, channel creation dates, thumbnails, and banners. All of this information is publicly visible on YouTube itself — we simply make it faster and easier to access.
We do not use scraped data, third-party data brokers, or estimates for the core channel statistics. If YouTube reports a channel has 1,230,000 subscribers, that is exactly what we display.
How Earnings Estimates Work
Earnings estimates are our own calculations based on publicly documented industry benchmarks — they are notprovided by YouTube or Google. We apply a range of RPM (Revenue Per Mille) values to a channel's estimated monthly views to produce a min/max earnings range.
| Input | Source |
|---|---|
| Subscriber count | YouTube Data API v3 (exact) |
| Total views | YouTube Data API v3 (exact) |
| Monthly view estimate | Derived from total views ÷ channel age |
| RPM range applied | $0.25–$4.00 per 1,000 views (industry average) |
Actual earnings vary significantly by niche, geography, audience demographics, seasonal ad rates, and non-ad revenue (sponsorships, memberships, merchandise). Our Earnings Calculator lets you input a custom RPM for a more personalised estimate.
How the Channel Grade Works
The channel grade (A++ to D) is a view-velocity metric we calculate as:
Grade formula
Daily views = Total views ÷ Channel age in days
Channels averaging over 5 million views per day receive an A++ grade. The grade is a quick signal of growth momentum — not absolute channel size. A new channel with strong early traction can outgrade a large but stagnant one.
Accuracy & Limitations
- Subscriber counts may be rounded— YouTube rounds counts above 1,000 (e.g., displaying “1.23M” instead of the exact number). For large channels, the API may return a rounded figure.
- Earnings are estimates only — actual creator revenue is private. Our ranges are based on publicly reported industry averages and should be treated as directional ballpark figures.
- API data is cached — channel data is cached for up to 5 minutes to stay within YouTube API quota limits. Very recent changes may not appear instantly.
