General Questions

What is VidMetricsLab?

VidMetricsLab is a platform that provides detailed analytics and statistics for YouTube channels and videos. Whether you’re a content creator or a social media agency, our service helps you track your channel’s performance, compare it with others, and optimize your strategy for growth.
You can search for a YouTube channel by visiting the any page on our website. Simply enter the channelId, name or Custom URL of the YouTube channel you want to analyze, and our system will provide you with detailed insights into its performance.

In compliance with EU privacy regulations since November 2017, YouTube only allows us to display data going back three years, so we can only provide a channel’s statistics for the past 3 years.

Unlike many other tools, our earnings estimates take into account the type of content a channel produces — especially the growing share of YouTube Shorts.

Short-form videos typically generate much lower ad revenue compared to long-form content. Most platforms calculate earnings assuming all views come from long videos, which can overestimate revenue.

To give you a more realistic estimate, we analyze the actual ratio of Shorts vs. long-form videos on each channel and adjust earnings accordingly.

We believe transparency matters — and that creators deserve realistic data they can trust.
