VidStats

Point VidStats at a YouTube channel and you get analytics dashboards, growth forecasts, comment sentiment readings and suggested posting times back.

VidStats is a YouTube analytics tool that uses AI to help creators grow their channels, and it also covers some of the writing side of the job.

On the research side, you can look at trend analysis, audience segmentation, engagement rate analysis, global traffic insights and competitor benchmarking.

For the production side, VidStats generates content ideas and scripts, gives optimization suggestions for videos, and transcribes video.

A universal sharing feature is included too.

The range is wide, which is handy if you would rather keep analysis and planning in one place than juggle several single-purpose apps.

The flip side is that a broad toolkit takes time to learn, so start with the dashboards and add the writing tools once you know what your audience responds to.
