Disclaimer

What these YouTube tools can and cannot tell you: why durations are a snapshot, why watch time is not audience retention, and who owns the content shown.

Not affiliated with YouTube

This is an independent utility site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube, Google or any of their subsidiaries. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.

Durations are estimates of a moving target

Every total reflects the data YouTube returned at the moment you asked. Playlists get edited, videos get removed, and live streams have no final length until they end. Treat a result as a snapshot.

Watch time is not audience retention

The channel length calculator measures how many hours of content a channel has published. It is not YouTube Studio's watch-time analytics, which measures how long people actually watched. The two numbers answer different questions and are not comparable.

Money figures are estimates

The monetization checker and every money calculator produce estimates from public statistics and published rate benchmarks. They are not payouts, not financial advice and not information from YouTube, which alone knows whether a channel is monetized and what it earns.

Visibility, SEO and sentiment scores are heuristics

The shadowban detector, SEO score, rank checker and comment sentiment analysis apply documented rules to public data. They point at likely issues; they cannot see YouTube's internal ranking or moderation decisions.

Generated text is a starting point

Titles, hashtags, comments and channel ideas come from fixed templates. Review and adapt them, and only publish text that accurately describes your own content.

Thumbnail checks are factual, not predictive

The preview tool reports whether an image meets YouTube's published specifications. It cannot predict click-through rate, and no tool can. Anything claiming otherwise is guessing.

Copyright of displayed content

Video titles, channel names, tags and thumbnails belong to their creators. Downloading a thumbnail for reference, research or commentary is generally acceptable; republishing it as your own work is not. Confirm your rights before commercial reuse.

No warranty

The tools are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Verify anything important before relying on it.
