YouTube Channel Tracking

Track every channel that matters to you

Monitor channel growth, video performance, and upload patterns across your own channels and any competitors — synced automatically or on demand.

One workspace. All the channels you care about.

Free plan available. No credit card required.

The problem

Channel data should not sit in 12 open tabs

Checking five competitor channels manually means five browser tabs, five manual refreshes, and no way to compare them side by side. Channel Radar syncs them all into one workspace so you can focus on analysis instead of data collection.

FAQ

Common questions about channel tracking

Can I track channels I do not own?

Yes. Any public YouTube channel can be added. Channel Radar uses the YouTube Data API to fetch publicly available channel and video data.

How many channels can I track?

The Free plan includes a limited channel count. Pro and Agency plans increase that limit considerably. Check the pricing page for current tier details.

Does tracking a channel require permission from the channel owner?

No. Channel Radar only reads public data available through the YouTube Data API. No special permissions or channel access are required for competitor tracking.

Can I track upload cadence and posting frequency?

Yes. Channel Radar records video publish dates so you can see how often a channel posts and whether that pattern changes over time.

What data is available per video?

For each video, Channel Radar stores the title, publish date, view count, and engagement metrics available via the YouTube Data API. Historical snapshots are stored each time you sync.

Does auto-sync use my API quota?

Yes. Every sync call draws from your YouTube API quota. The Pro and Agency plans are designed for users who need frequent or high-volume syncing and should plan quota accordingly.
