The Social Blade alternative for YouTube creators

Social Blade tells you how a channel's numbers moved. Vid0 tells you why: which videos beat their own channel, which keywords you can win, and what to make next. Free to start, from $12 a month after that.

The short answer

Which one should you use?

Social Blade is the reference for public stats history: years of daily subscriber and view counts, across several platforms, from $59.99/year.

Why creators switch

Numbers that fit your channel

Channel stats

Size up any channel in seconds

Open a channel on YouTube and Vid0 shows its typical and median views, upload rhythm and estimated earnings under the header. One click opens every recent upload coloured by how it did.

  • Recent uploads at 2× and 5× their usual views
  • When they post and what formats they make
The Vid0 channel stats panel: stat tiles, a bar chart of recent uploads coloured by 5×, 2× and typical performance, the days they post, format mix and top outliers.
Outliers

Outliers judged at the same age

A video's views only mean something next to its own channel's usual numbers, for a video that old. Vid0 compares every video that way, so a three-day-old upload and a three-year-old one are judged fairly.

  • 2×, 5× and 10× outliers from the channels you track
  • Every saved idea keeps the videos that inspired it
MrBeast's “$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!” on YouTube with the Vid0 scorecard: a 5.1× outlier score, 22.7K views per hour and a views chart against the channel's typical video.
Keywords

Keywords you can actually win

Demand and competition tell you if a topic is popular. Vid0 adds the question that matters to a small channel: how many of the top results come from channels your size?

  • Keyword score from 0 to 100
  • Winnable for your size, from the real top results
Vid0 keyword scores for “ai agents tutorial”: Competition 67 (high), Winnable 4 (low), Demand proxy 84 (high) and Opportunity 39 (medium).
On YouTube

A free extension that works signed out

Outlier scores, views per hour, tags and keyword scores right on youtube.com, and a pre-publish assistant in YouTube Studio. It leaves room for the other extensions you use.

  • Badges on every search result and related video
  • Title ideas and a description score in Studio
YouTube search results with Vid0 badges on each result (18×, 3.5×, 0.7×) and the Search companion panel showing a keyword score of 39.
Fair is fair

Where Social Blade is still better

  • Much longer daily history for any channel. Vid0's channel pages keep 30 days.
  • It covers other platforms, not just YouTube.
  • Its paid plans start lower, at $59.99 a year.
  • It's the long-standing reference people quote for public numbers.

Questions

Good to know

What is the best Social Blade alternative for YouTube?
Vid0, if you want more than public totals: outlier scores, keyword research and channel stats right on YouTube. ViewStats if you want views-over-time charts. Social Blade still leads on long public history.
Is there a free Social Blade alternative?
Yes. Vid0's YouTube rankings and channel pages (at vid0.in/youtube-stats) are free with no sign-up, and the free plan adds outlier scores and the Chrome extension.
How accurate are YouTube earnings estimates?
Rough at best, on every site. Earnings depend on niche, audience country and how much of a video is monetised, which public data can't see. Vid0 labels its range as a Vid0 estimate, not YouTube data.
Does Vid0 keep subscriber history like Social Blade?
Vid0's public channel pages keep 30 days of daily totals. For years of history, Social Blade is still the better tool.
