A Social Blade alternative for breakout tracking

Where the two approaches actually diverge

The reason to look at a second tool is usually a gap, not a preference. Subscriber-count trackers answer "how big is this channel" extremely well, and this radar answers that badly on purpose — it filters out the large channels entirely. What it does instead is rank 3536 videos from 1334 small channels by how fast they are accumulating views relative to the audience they started with, which is the question you ask when you are looking for a niche to enter rather than a channel to watch.

That difference shows up in the ranking. A subscriber-count ranking puts a channel with 900,000 subscribers at the top because it is large; the breakout score puts it nowhere, because the tracked dataset stops accepting channels above 100,000 subscribers. The current median velocity across the dataset is 4.2K/day and the median tracked video is 92 days old — 3054 of 3536 entries are older than 30 days, which is a number worth reading before you treat any of this as a live trend feed.

Where this site is genuinely weaker is history. There is no time series here: each video is captured once, so every age on the page is recomputed from its publish date at build time (page rebuilt 2026-10-11) and the velocity is a lifetime average, not a daily reading. If your question is "is this channel gaining or losing momentum this month", a tracking tool with stored history is the right answer. If your question is "which formats are still being handed distribution in this niche", this dataset is built for it.

One more limit worth stating plainly: 640 of the 1334 channels tracked here appear with a single breakout video. A one-video channel is a topic signal, not proof of a repeatable format, and the channel pages say so instead of implying otherwise.
