Check your YouTube channel
See which of your newest videos actually worked, which fell short, and what is moving right now. Every video is compared with your own usual, not with anyone else's channel.
Your usual
The middle of your own videos of the same kind. Shorts with Shorts, long videos with long videos.
Hits and misses
Which videos beat your usual, by how much, and which fell well short of it.
What is moving
Views a day since upload and comments, so you see what is still growing.
One video here. Your whole channel in ChannelGrade.
Connect your channel and every upload is pulled in on its own, no pasting links.
Free to connect. A plan adds the written read of each upload: why viewers left, what comments ask for, what to make next.
Every video against the middle of your own others of the same kind, at the same age. Shorts with Shorts.
On screen: one still shot of the pan while the voice-over explains the rule. Said: "so the reason this works is". Likely why: the payoff already happened, and the explanation is slower than everything before it.
Why: StarterYour title and thumbnail in real YouTube search, next to the videos you are up against. Checks that give the same answer every time, no made-up scores.
Channels like yours, each video against that channel's own usual. You see the moment one of theirs takes off.
Mostly excited and asking for more. A few viewers say the music drowns out your voice in the middle.
They ask you to make

Questions about checking your channel
How do I check my YouTube channel?
Paste your channel link or @handle above and press Check my channel. ChannelGrade reads your 50 newest videos from YouTube and compares each one with your own usual, in a few seconds. You do not need to sign in.
Is this YouTube channel checker free?
Yes. The check is free, and so is tracking one channel in ChannelGrade Studio, which repeats the comparison every day and adds new uploads on their own.
What does "your usual" mean?
The middle of your own videos of the same kind: Shorts are compared with your Shorts, long videos with your long videos. A video at 2x your usual got twice the views of a typical video of yours.
Why does my channel say there are too few videos to compare?
A fair comparison needs at least 4 videos of one kind. Until then the check shows the raw numbers, views, views a day and comments, and it starts comparing as you upload.
Can I check any YouTube channel?
Yes, any public channel works. Connect your own channel to Studio to add watch time, the retention curve and where viewers came from.
How is this different from a channel audit or score?
An audit scores your channel against a checklist. This check shows what actually happened to each of your videos. Before you post, Studio also shows your title and thumbnail in real YouTube search next to the videos you are up against.
