How to Track YouTube Competitors Automatically in 2026
The fastest way to find what is working on YouTube is to stop checking channels by hand and let an automated tracker surface the videos that outperform.
1. Add competitor channels
Paste the channels you already watch and let Ospri start scanning them on a schedule.
2. Wait for the first alert
Once the scan runs, outperforming videos surface automatically instead of hiding in the feed.
3. Turn the insight into content
Use remix workflows to turn the competitor signal into your own hook or outline.
What automatic tracking solves
- No more manually checking every competitor channel.
- No more guessing which videos are actually working.
- No more missing breakout uploads because you were busy.
The workflow
- Add the channels you want to monitor.
- Let the scanner build a baseline for each competitor.
- Review the videos that outperform the baseline.
- Use the remix tools to turn insight into output.
