Know exactly who's
making money
on YouTube.

Paste any YouTube channel URL or @handle into the search bar above. YouTube Copilot fetches the channel's public page in real time, parses embedded signals like the Join button and mid-roll ad markers, and returns a monetization verdict in under 3 seconds — no API key or login required.

We fetch the channel's public YouTube page and parse the embedded JSON data (ytInitialData) that YouTube sends to every visitor. The membership button, mid-roll markers, subscriber count, and engagement metrics are all visible in this data. A Bayesian model then scores these signals and outputs a calibrated YPP probability — no credentials needed.

Earnings are estimated from lifetime view trajectory, niche-specific RPM data, and channel size — cross-validated against verified creator disclosures. We show conservative, likely, and optimistic ranges because actual YouTube AdSense revenue varies by niche, audience geography, and seasonality. These are confidence intervals, not exact figures.

YouTube CPM and RPM vary widely by content niche, viewer location, ad format, and time of year. A finance channel in the US can earn 10x more per view than an entertainment channel in Southeast Asia. Showing conservative, likely, and optimistic ranges gives you an honest estimate instead of a misleading single number.

Yes. Paste the channel URL and the report will include a monthly earnings estimate broken down into conservative, likely, and optimistic tiers. The estimate is derived from lifetime views, upload frequency, detected content niche, and platform-wide RPM data — giving you a realistic picture of how much that YouTuber likely earns from AdSense.

Yes. YouTube Copilot only reads publicly available data — the same information any visitor sees when they open a channel page. No private data, no scraping hacks, no Terms of Service violations. We never access creator dashboards or analytics that aren't already public.

The most common reason is a hidden Join button — some monetized channels disable the membership tab, removing the strongest public signal. If your subscriber count is also hidden, the model has fewer data points and may underestimate confidence. Try making your Join button and subscriber count visible, then re-check.

Social Blade shows historical stats (subscriber trends, view graphs) but doesn't tell you whether a channel is actually monetized. YouTube Copilot focuses on monetization intelligence: YPP probability scoring, signal-level breakdown, and niche-adjusted earnings estimates — all from a single URL lookup with no account required.

Results are cached for 6 hours after the first lookup. After that, your next check triggers a fresh fetch from YouTube. For most use cases this is more than enough — monetization status doesn't change frequently. You can always wait for the cache to expire or check a slightly different URL format to force a fresh analysis.

Absolutely. Paste your channel URL to see exactly which public signals your channel currently shows. This helps you understand what YouTube's Partner Program reviewers might see — subscriber count, engagement metrics, content signals — and identify gaps before you apply.

The full report includes: monetization verdict with YPP probability score, lifetime channel views, views-per-subscriber ratio, content niche detection with RPM tier, monthly earnings estimate (conservative / likely / optimistic), a detailed signal breakdown showing which indicators were detected, and a methodology section explaining the scoring model.

The core monetization check and earnings estimate are completely free — no account, no credit card, no limits on basic lookups. Pro features like per-video analysis, watchlist monitoring, and AI-powered growth plans are available on paid plans.
