A guide to the discovery controls · not live results
GO BEYOND A VIEW COUNT
A score you can look behind.
Open a Pro comparison to see which peer videos formed the baseline. Check the channel, format, capture dates and sample size before deciding what’s worth studying.
Scores identify research leads. They do not guarantee views or explain what caused a video to perform.

BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Need a hand choosing your next step?
What can I do with Niche Hunter?
Find YouTube channels and video ideas worth studying. Explore small-channel breakouts, AI-assisted and avatar channels, and history/documentary videos. Compare the evidence and save useful finds for your own original ideas.
What do I get with a free account?
Standard free access shows up to three results per discovery category and video format. The number available depends on your filters and the current published sample. Pro opens the full published catalogue and complete comparison evidence. Any temporary beta access is shown in your account.
Do I need to connect my YouTube channel?
No. Research the shared catalogue without connecting a channel or supplying an API key. You can start researching before you have uploaded your first video.
What makes a video an outlier?
An outlier stands above a saved baseline of other videos from its own channel and format. NH Score helps you find these candidates; Pro comparisons show the exact peer videos and capture dates. Similar-age comparisons are distinguished from broader, provisional samples.
How fresh is the research?
Daily discovery and update jobs focus on the channel groups we track, then publish refreshed research. They do not refresh every record in the catalogue each day. Each result retains its capture dates, so you can see when its figures were measured.
Can I separate Shorts, long-form videos and languages?
Yes. Filter Shorts and long-form separately, and use the channel-language preference across your research. Language describes the recorded channel language, not automatic audio or transcript detection. The 30, 60 and 90-day discovery windows filter upload dates; views are captured totals, not views gained during that window. Recently added outliers uses the date a result first entered the tracked board.
Are AI-assisted and AI-avatar channels different?
Yes. AI-assisted describes channels using AI in video production. AI-avatar describes channels featuring a virtual presenter. The research labels may overlap and can be uncertain; inspect the actual uploads before drawing conclusions about a channel’s production process.
How do subscriptions and cancellation work?
Choose monthly or yearly billing at the current prices shown in the pricing section, including any live launch offer. Both include the same research features. Plans renew automatically; cancelling renewal preserves verified access through the paid period. Once yearly billing is chosen, it cannot switch back to monthly. See the Terms for the refund policy and applicable legal and billing exceptions.
