TubeGrade
ChatGPT pluginYouTube outliers & research
Find what's breaking out on YouTube, and why, with TubeGrade in ChatGPT.
With TubeGrade, you can:
- Find ideas that are proven to work: discover videos that beat their own channel's normal views (outliers), by topic or for any channel, with each video's outlier ratio.
- Package videos with proven patterns: see the title and thumbnail formats behind breakout videos, view the actual thumbnails, and find videos with look-alike thumbnails.
- Study any channel: subscriber and view growth over time, average views, upload cadence, its best-performing videos, and channels similar in topic and size.
- Learn from the best videos: read full transcripts with timestamps, for one video or a whole channel, to study hooks and structure, and mine comments for what viewers ask for.
- Spot rising creators: weekly rankings of the fastest-growing, breakout and most-subscribed channels, worldwide and by country.
- Plan and write with guided workflows: video ideas, your next video, titles and thumbnails, researched scripts with cited sources, competitor breakdowns and video teardowns.
- Keep track: follow competitor channels and save videos to folders in your TubeGrade account.
