Breakout Score is a video's views divided by the channel's average views, calculated by OverseerOS. Public data from the YouTube Data API. OverseerOS is not affiliated with Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell.
See What Is Winning Before You Decide What to Make
Paste your own channel or any competitor.
OverseerOS shows you which videos pulled the most attention, what they have published recently, and how the channel tends to publish.
Instead of guessing from a channel homepage, you can see the patterns in one report.
What the Free Report Shows You
- Channel snapshot. Subscribers, total views, video count and how long the channel has been on YouTube.
- Top videos. Its 50 most-viewed videos. All-time when YouTube provides the full popularity lists; otherwise the report labels them as top recent uploads.
- Recent uploads. Up to 100 of its newest videos with views, likes, comments, length and publish date.
- Breakout Score for every video. Each video's views divided by the channel's average views, so you can see which ideas beat the channel's normal performance.
- Upload pattern. How often it publishes, its most common upload days, videos per month, uploads in the last 30 and 90 days, and the average gap between uploads.
With a free OverseerOS account
- Content Blueprint. Turn the channel into a Blueprint: the formats, hooks and topics behind its best videos, ready to adapt to your own channel.
- Analytics, Revenue and Breakout tabs. View distribution, engagement rates, estimated earnings ranges and breakout videos. These open once your account setup is complete (your first Content Blueprint unlocks them).
What no channel analyzer can show you
Watch time, click-through rate, audience retention, traffic sources, demographics and real earnings are private YouTube Studio data. Only the channel's owner can see them, so no outside analyzer, including this one, can show them for another channel.

Common Questions
- What is a YouTube channel analyzer?
- A YouTube channel analyzer is a tool for examining a public YouTube channel's videos and channel statistics. It can help you identify top-performing videos, recent uploads, publishing patterns and other public performance data.
- How do I analyze my YouTube channel for free?
- Paste your channel's URL or @handle into the analyzer at the top of this page. You get your top videos, recent uploads with views, likes and comments, your average views per video, a Breakout Score for every video and your upload pattern. No account is needed.
- Can I analyze another YouTube channel?
- Yes. OverseerOS can analyze supported public YouTube channels using a channel URL or @handle. You do not need access to the channel.
- Can I analyze my competitors on YouTube?
- Yes. Paste a competitor's public YouTube channel to see its top videos, recent uploads and public channel statistics.
- What is a Breakout Score?
- A video's views divided by the channel's average views. A score of 3.0x means the video earned three times what the channel's videos usually get, which makes it an idea worth studying. Very new videos score low until their views catch up.
- Is the OverseerOS YouTube Channel Analyzer free?
- Yes. Without an account you can run up to 3 new channel analyses a day. A channel that was analyzed recently loads instantly and does not count toward that limit.
- Does the analyzer show a channel's earnings?
- Not in the free report. YouTube does not publish any channel's earnings, so every outside tool can only estimate them. OverseerOS shows estimated earnings ranges in the app's Revenue tab, which opens once your account setup is complete.
- Can I see another channel's watch time, CTR or audience data?
- No. Watch time, click-through rate, retention, traffic sources and demographics are private YouTube Studio data that only the channel's owner can see. The analyzer works only with public data.
- How up to date is the data?
- It comes from the YouTube Data API when the channel is analyzed. Results are cached for up to 6 hours, so a video uploaded in the last few hours may not appear yet.
- What data does OverseerOS use?
- The public analyzer uses public data available through the YouTube Data API. It does not require access to the channel's private YouTube Analytics.
