Questions
How do I check a YouTube channel's subscriber count?
Type the channel's @handle (like @MrBeast) or paste its link and press Run. You get the subscriber count, total views, number of videos and the channel's details.
Is it free?
Yes. You get 5 free requests a day without an account. Sign up free for 100 credits, plus a top-up to 25 every day. No card needed. One lookup costs 1 credit.
Is the subscriber count exact?
It's the number YouTube shows publicly. YouTube rounds subscriber counts above 1,000 (for example 1.23M), so no public tool can show the exact figure. Total views and video counts are exact.
How often is it updated?
Counts are at most a few hours old. YouTube itself updates public subscriber counts with a delay.
Can I track a channel's growth over time?
Call the Channel endpoint on a schedule, from a script, a spreadsheet or Claude, and store the numbers. Each check costs 1 credit.
