Tutorial
How to track YouTube competitors automatically
Stop opening subscriptions by hand. Put the channels you already watch on a scan cadence and act when a video beats that creator’s usual views.
Short answer
Add competitor YouTube channels in Ospri, keep them active (500 credits reserved per competitor per month), and let scheduled scans pull recent videos. Outliers are vs that channel’s baseline. Native Studio is still better for your own traffic sources.
Choose Ospri when
- Named competitors on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube together.
- Cadence you set instead of daily tab-hopping.
- Remix from the same video you flagged.
Choose spreadsheets or Studio when
- A handful of URLs you already paste into a sheet.
- Your own impressions, CTR, and traffic sources.
- VidIQ if you mainly need tags and titles.
