Live Analyze pulls any public YouTube channel on demand and scores its recent uploads against that channel's own median — so you see its genuine breakouts rather than its biggest numbers.
Running an analysis
Go to Analyze and paste any of:
- a handle —
@mkbhd - a channel URL
- any
youtube.comlink belonging to the channel
vidfora resolves the channel, reads its latest ~30 uploads with live view counts, and scores each one.
No YouTube API key. No CSV export. No connecting your account.
Reading the result
You get the channel's median views (its true baseline), its best outlier, and every recent upload sorted biggest hit first.
Shorts and longform are scored on separate baselines, so neither format drowns out the other, and you can filter to just one.
What to use it for
Your own channel. The most honest read you'll get. Your median is your real baseline — not your best month, not your subscriber count. The videos above it are the ones your audience actually wanted.
A competitor. Skip what they publish and look at what works for them. A channel's outliers reveal the topics its audience is hungry for — including topics the channel itself hasn't noticed and is under-serving.
Before tracking someone. Analyze first, then decide whether they're worth a tracking slot.

Analysing a channel pulls live data from YouTube, which is why the free tier gets a taste rather than unlimited runs.
Speed
A channel vidfora has analysed recently loads instantly from cache. A cold channel takes longer — up to a minute or two — because it's being read live at that moment. That's expected, not a fault.
Limitations
Some channels can't be fetched — region-blocked channels, age-gated channels, and channels with no public uploads. Very new channels with only a handful of videos produce an unstable median, so treat their multipliers with caution.
