Track any public YouTube channel, compare video performance side by side, and turn competitor data into a content strategy — without spreadsheets.
Your channels and your competitors, in one dashboard.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
The problem
Most creators and content teams check competitor channels by opening YouTube tabs, copying video titles into spreadsheets, and trying to remember what changed week to week. Channel Radar replaces that entire manual loop with a structured, syncable competitor workspace.

FAQ
Can I track any YouTube channel as a competitor?
Yes. Any public YouTube channel can be added for competitor analysis. Channel Radar fetches data via the official YouTube Data API v3 using your own API key.
How many competitor channels can I track?
The Free plan includes a limited number of channels. Pro and Agency plans increase those limits significantly. See the pricing page for current limits.
Do I need to own the competitor channels I track?
No. You only need to own the YouTube API key used to fetch data. Competitor channels are public and accessible through the YouTube Data API.
How often is competitor data refreshed?
You can trigger manual syncs anytime. Pro and Agency plans also support automatic scheduled syncs so your competitor data stays current without manual work.
Is this different from just checking YouTube manually?
Yes. Channel Radar stores historical snapshots, lets you compare multiple channels simultaneously, ranks videos by performance, and surfaces growth trends — none of which are easy to do by visiting channels manually.
Do I need a paid plan to start?
No. The Free plan lets you try competitor tracking with a limited channel set at no cost.
