Why this is YouTube-only
YouTube's Data API publicly exposes a channel's subscriber, view, and video counts to any app with a free API key - exactly the kind of public, aggregate stat this tool checks. Instagram, TikTok, and X don't offer a comparable public endpoint for pulling another account's stats without that account's own login - any tool claiming to check those platforms' stats for free is either scraping (fragile and against most platforms' terms) or guessing. This tool stays honest about that limit rather than faking numbers for platforms it can't actually check.
What subscriber, view, and video counts actually tell you
Subscriber count is a rough proxy for a channel's audience size, total view count reflects cumulative reach across every video ever published, and video count gives context for how that reach was built - a channel with high views spread across hundreds of videos tells a different story than one with the same views concentrated in a handful of viral hits.
Why subscriber count sometimes shows as hidden
Some channel owners deliberately choose to hide their public subscriber count in YouTube's own settings - this tool respects that same privacy setting through the API, so a channel showing "Hidden" isn't a failed lookup, it's the channel owner's own choice reflected accurately.
Looking up a channel by handle, URL, or ID
Accepting any of these three formats means you don't need to hunt down a specific channel ID manually - pasting the @handle you see in a channel's URL, or the full channel URL itself, resolves to the same result as using the raw channel ID.
