# Analytics4You > Competitive intelligence for YouTube creators. Analytics4You tracks > every channel in a creator's niche and reports what changed: new uploads, > title and thumbnail edits, videos performing far above a channel's own > normal, and packaging changes that look like A/B tests. ## What it is A monitoring and analysis tool. It observes public YouTube pages on a schedule and records what it saw, so a creator can compare their niche over time. ## What it is NOT - It is NOT an AI product. There is no language model anywhere in it: no generated advice, no summaries, no "growth plan", no chat. It reports observations and leaves the interpretation to the person reading them. - It does NOT publish or resell channel data. Everything is scoped to the channels a signed-in user has chosen to watch. - It does NOT offer a public API, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google LLC. ## Pricing All prices are in USD (United States dollars). Available worldwide. - Starter: USD $15/month billed annually (USD $19 billed monthly), up to 10 tracked channels. - Pro: USD $39/month billed annually (USD $49 billed monthly), up to 50 tracked channels. - Free plan: 3 channels, no credit card, no time limit. There is no free trial. - Dodo Payments is the merchant of record and is the seller on the invoice; the charge is labelled "DODOPAY or Dodo Payments" on the customer's statement. - Cancel any time; full refund within 14 days of a charge. ## Pages - [YouTube Competitor Tracking Tool](https://analytics4.you): Track every YouTube channel in your niche: uploads, title and thumbnail changes, outlier videos and detected A/B tests, from observed public data. - [Pricing: from USD $15 a month](https://analytics4.you/pricing): Plans from USD $15 to USD $39 a month, billed in USD.

Analytics4You records what every other channel in your niche does. What each one sees, dated and sourced. - [Analytics4You vs TubeBuddy: rivals, not your workflow](https://analytics4.you/compare/tubebuddy): TubeBuddy is a workflow suite for the channel you run. Analytics4You is a monitor for everyone else’s. A dated, source-cited comparison of the two. - [Analytics4You vs ViewStats: changes, not just totals](https://analytics4.you/compare/viewstats): ViewStats publishes public channel statistics. Analytics4You records what changed, when, across the channels you choose. Where the two actually differ. - [Analytics4You vs Monitor YT: a niche, not one video](https://analytics4.you/compare/monitor-yt): Both record YouTube title and thumbnail changes. One watches videos you paste in; the other watches every channel you track.

The index of them is https://analytics4.you/docs/llms.txt. ## Guides Written explanations of the questions this data answers, each stating what its method CANNOT tell you. Every number in them is traceable to this codebase or to a dated, linked source. - [How to Track Competitor YouTube Channels Without the API](https://analytics4.you/guides/track-competitor-youtube-channels): A method for watching every channel in your niche: what public pages expose, the cadence that catches changes, and what none of it can tell you. - [YouTube Competitor Analysis From Observed Data](https://analytics4.you/guides/youtube-competitor-analysis): A repeatable method: fix the channel set, compare each channel against its own normal, use the niche median as the baseline, and state what it cannot show. - [What Packaging Means on YouTube, and Why It Matters](https://analytics4.you/guides/youtube-packaging-title-thumbnail): Packaging is the title and thumbnail a video is sold with. Here is what a change record shows that a snapshot cannot, and how to read one honestly. - [How to Tell a YouTube Thumbnail A/B Test From a Swap](https://analytics4.you/guides/detect-youtube-thumbnail-ab-tests): A test serves two versions at once; a swap replaces one. Telling them apart takes simultaneous independent observations — the method, and its limits. - [YouTube Outlier Videos: What They Are and How to Score](https://analytics4.you/guides/youtube-outlier-videos): The usual outlier multiplier punishes young videos. Here is an age-adjusted alternative, its confidence levels, and when it refuses to score at all. - [Best Time to Upload on YouTube: What Is Actually Known](https://analytics4.you/guides/best-time-to-upload-youtube-honest): YouTube shows an upload’s age as “3 weeks ago”. Any hour-of-day chart built on that is invented — here is what the coarse data really supports. - [How Often Do YouTube Channels Change Thumbnails?](https://analytics4.you/guides/how-often-do-youtube-channels-change-thumbnails): The method for answering it from an observation corpus, the sample size we will publish at, and why there is no number on this page yet. ## Contact support@analytics4.you — we reply within 2 business days.
