What is Social Blade?
Social Blade aggregates public statistics for YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, X and more into growth charts, letter grades and projections. Look up any channel — yours or a competitor's — and see subscriber and view history going back years, daily gains, and a grade comparing growth to other channels. For creators it is the standard third-party mirror: your own Studio analytics know what happened inside your channel; Social Blade shows how that looks from outside, relative to everyone else.
Two features make it a habit. Competitor tracking: watch which channels in your niche are growing and roughly when their spikes happen (often correlating with format changes you can learn from). And live subscriber counts, which turned milestone races into spectator sport. The earnings estimates deserve a warning label — they are extremely wide public guesses based on CPM ranges, and almost always misleading for any specific channel; ignore them or treat them as entertainment.
Everything public is free, ad-supported; premium removes ads and adds longer history, live counts and API access. Data refreshes daily from public sources — it cannot see private metrics like watch-time sources or audience retention, so it complements your Studio analytics rather than replacing them.

Free plan & limits
Public stats, grades and charts are free with ads. Premium tiers remove ads and add extended history, live counts and API access. Earnings figures are rough public estimates — not payment data.
Who is it best for?
Creators benchmarking against competitors, tracking long-range growth, and anyone curious how a channel's public trajectory looks.
Frequently asked questions
Are Social Blade's earnings estimates real?
No — they are wide guesses from public CPM ranges and know nothing about a channel's actual RPM, sponsorships or monetization status. Use them as entertainment only.
Can a channel hide from Social Blade?
It reads public counts; channels with very few subscribers may not be indexed yet, but public channels cannot opt out of the basic public stats.
How often does the data update?
Typically daily snapshots per channel, with live counters for large channels on some pages. For real-time detail on your own channel, YouTube Studio is the source of truth.
