What creators say
“First scan showed me my hooks were dying at 1.8 seconds. Changed my opening format, next Short hit 40K. Nothing else I tried gave me that specific of a fix.”
“I was posting daily and getting 300 views. Vitals flagged suppression risk — told me to pause 5 days and change my hook structure. First Short back did 12K.”
“The competitor analysis alone is worth it. Found out my titles were 3x longer than the top performers in my niche. Cut them down, CTR doubled.”
FAQ
What data does Vitals access?
Shorts metadata (titles, views, likes, comments) and optionally YouTube Analytics data (CTR, retention, traffic sources, shares). Read-only. Vitals never posts, deletes, or modifies your content.
How is this different from YouTube Studio?
Studio shows raw numbers. Vitals interprets them — cross-references metrics against algorithm signal thresholds, detects flatlined Shorts, computes replay ratios, generates title rewrites, and benchmarks you against competitors. Studio shows what happened. Vitals shows why and what to change.
How much does it cost?
First scan free. No card required. The Creator plan is $29/month with a 7-day free trial. Unlimited scans, full analytics integration, competitor tracking, diagnostic history.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel from Settings. Takes effect at end of billing period. Revoke YouTube access anytime via Google Security Settings.
