Paste any channel, see its true outliers in seconds
Raw view counts lie. vidfora pulls a channel's last ~30 uploads straight from YouTube and scores every video against its own median — so the real breakouts rise to the top.
Plus plan. Part of vidfora Plus.
Every video scored
Each upload gets a multiplier — its views divided by the channel's median — so a genuine 10x hit stands out from a lucky day.
Format-aware baselines
Shorts are scored on their own median and longform on theirs, so neither format drowns out the other. Filter to just one anytime.
Live, no API key
Paste a handle or URL and vidfora pulls the latest ~30 uploads straight from YouTube — no API key, no exports. Cached channels load instantly.

Questions
How is the outlier score calculated?
It's a video's views divided by its channel's median views for the same format. A 5x score means the video did five times the channel's typical performance.
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. vidfora reads public channel data directly, so you can analyze any channel with no keys, no exports, and no account connection.
Which channels can I analyze?
Any public YouTube channel — your own, a competitor's, or anyone in your niche. Some region-blocked or age-gated channels can't be fetched.
