Build a watchlist

  1. Open Competitors (⌘/Ctrl+3) and click “New watchlist”. Give it a name.
  2. Below the table, click a channel chip (+ channel name) to add a channel from your saved research.
  3. Click “Fetch latest videos for all” to fetch recent public uploads for every channel in the list through the official API. This needs your API key.

The comparison table

  • Channel name and Subscribers.
  • Avg. views per video, Uploads and Days since start.
  • Recent median views and Outlier videos (≥3×).

A channel added from a page you saved manually may show “Unavailable” in every column until its uploads are fetched or imported. If a channel was saved without its official YouTube ID, its uploads cannot be fetched through the API.

Public numbers onlyFollowing a channel is not permission for private collection and not a forecast of anyone’s revenue. The table compares only public, observed values.
