TubeSignalHQ is a creator intelligence platform for YouTube. It has five modules: Packaging Audit (pre-publish diagnostics), My Channel (channel intelligence hub), Experience Risk (viewer fatigue and repetition analysis), War Rooms (competitive intelligence), and a Production Calendar. You can start with just packaging audits on the free plan and unlock the rest as you grow.

Independent YouTube creators who publish regularly and want systematic intelligence across their channel — not just a one-off tool. The Starter and Pro plans are built for solo creators. The Studio plan is built for agencies and creators managing multiple channels at scale.

No. Everything in TubeSignalHQ is rule-based and deterministic — the packaging diagnostics, channel intelligence, War Room analysis, and action plans all score or rank observable, named signals. TubeSignalHQ does not generate titles, thumbnails, scripts, or any other content for you.

Only if you choose to connect it. Packaging audits require no channel connection — submit your title, thumbnail, opening hook, and transcript excerpt directly. My Channel and Experience Risk require a Google OAuth connection to read your channel and video data. War Rooms use the public YouTube API to analyse competitor channels.

Click Potential scores your title and thumbnail across five signals: thumbnail presence (30%), emotional hook (25%), title specificity (20%), title length (15%), and thumbnail text (10%). Each signal receives a Pass, Warn, or Fail status — the weighted sum of those status scores produces the final 0–100 result. A higher score means stronger click-through packaging.

Retention Risk analyses your opening hook and transcript excerpt to score whether the first 30 seconds of your video establishes conflict and stakes early enough to retain viewers. The five signals are: Conflict delivery (30%), Opening phrasing (25%), Stakes clarity (25%), Exposition density (12%), and Escalation rhythm (8%). A higher score means lower retention risk — a score below 55 (grade F) means the opening is likely to cause early viewer drop-off.

No. Packaging is one factor among many — content quality, upload timing, channel authority, and algorithmic momentum all play a role. A high Click Potential score means your packaging has the signals associated with higher CTR. It is not a view count prediction.

Each signal receives a status — Pass, Warn, or Fail — and each status maps to a point value for that signal (for example, Conflict delivery: Pass = 30 pts, Warn = 16 pts, Fail = 0 pts). Points across all signals sum to a 0–100 score. Grade: A (85+), B (70–84), C (55–69), F (below 55). Both Click Potential and Retention Risk use this weighted status system — not a simple average of per-signal scores.

Yes. Each submission uses one audit from your monthly count regardless of whether you've submitted the same title before. If you revise and re-submit, it counts as a new audit.

My Channel is a channel intelligence hub. Connect your YouTube channel via Google OAuth and you get a live scorecard (hook score, retention score, decision state), per-video scoring against your own channel baseline, a strategy profile, governance snapshots, and rule-based next-step action plans.

Experience Risk analyses your channel for patterns that cause viewer fatigue before they show up in your metrics. It detects topic and format repetition, scores content authenticity across your catalogue, maps how different viewer segments experience your channel, and generates a risk tier (Low / Medium / High / Critical) with a structured recovery plan.

Before publishing a new video, Publish Validation checks whether it adds to an existing risk pattern on your channel — repetition, over-promise, or audience drift. It flags the risk and explains why, so you can adjust before upload.

My Channel and Experience Risk are included from Starter ($49/month) upwards. Free plan does not include them. My Channel limits: Starter — 1 account, Pro — up to 5, Studio — up to 20. Experience Risk limits: Starter — 1 channel, Pro — up to 10, Studio — up to 100.

A War Room is a competitive intelligence workspace. You select your channel, 2–25 competitor channels, a timeframe (30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 300, or 365 days), and a goal. TubeSignalHQ ingests YouTube data across all channels, runs analysis, and produces a full report — breakout packaging patterns, white space opportunities, title pattern analysis, and strategic recommendations.

War Rooms are available from Starter ($49/month) upwards. Starter includes up to 2 rooms, Pro up to 10, and Studio up to 50. Each room supports up to 25 competitor channels.

It depends on the number of competitors and the timeframe. Processing typically takes several minutes. You will see live status updates as the pipeline progresses.

Yes. You can run a new analysis on an existing War Room at any time to capture how the competitive landscape has shifted since the last run.

Free: 3 audits/month, 3 calendar events/month, Production Calendar. Starter ($49/month): 25 audits/month, 20 calendar events/month, My Channel (1 account), Experience Risk (1 channel), War Rooms (up to 2 rooms), email support. Pro ($99/month): 150 audits/month, 100 calendar events/month, My Channel (up to 5 accounts), Experience Risk (up to 10 channels), War Rooms (up to 10 rooms), CSV export, priority support. Studio ($199/month): 500 audits/month, 500 calendar events/month, My Channel (up to 20 accounts), Experience Risk (up to 100 channels), War Rooms (up to 50 rooms), dedicated onboarding.

One submission — a video title, thumbnail image, opening hook, and transcript excerpt — equals one audit. Your count resets on the first day of each billing cycle. My Channel, Experience Risk, and War Rooms do not consume your audit count.

The packaging audit form disables until your cycle resets or you upgrade. All existing results and all other modules stay fully accessible.

JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Maximum file size 5MB. Dimensions do not affect the score — the diagnostic checks whether a thumbnail is present, not its pixel dimensions.
