Numbers that fit your channel
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
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
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
Get paid for the channel you built
Vid0 drafts a free creator page from your public stats: typical views, past collabs and your own prices, shared as one link. Brands send requests to the Vid0 team, and we bring the good ones to you.
- Free on every plan
- A sponsorship rate calculator, no sign-up
Where vidIQ is still better
- It's older and bigger: its Chrome extension has 4,000,000 users and a 4.8 rating.
- It shows search volume estimates. Vid0 scores demand and competition, but not raw volume.
- It has Instagram tools, an AI Coach and clipping on Max. Vid0 is YouTube only.
- Its entry plan includes more AI credits a month (2,000 on Boost; 1,000 on Vid0 Creator), though credits buy different things in each.
