Check a YouTube title against any channel.
Paste a channel and a title. We pull the titles of the channel's last 30 uploads and score yours on its hook and on how well it fits them. There's no AI in this one, just a quick check.
What the score measures
The score comes from a set of simple rules, run the same way on every title. It doesn't see thumbnails, your audience or YouTube's own numbers, so treat it as a second opinion before you commit.
Hook
The title on its own
Length in words, a number, the word 'you', charged words and a question. All capitals or a pile of exclamation marks costs points.
Fit
Fit with the channel
How many words it shares with the channel's last 30 titles, and how close it is to their usual length.
Blend
Hook and fit together
Hook and fit mixed, plus a few points for formats that often do well: a number up front, a timeframe, a 'vs', a year, or 'I'. The final score is 45% hook, 35% fit and 20% blend.
Put the point up front
Phones cut long titles short. Whatever makes someone click, like a number or a name, belongs early, where it can't get cut off. The hook check doesn't look at word order, so this part is on you.
Sound like the channel
Viewers get used to how a channel titles its videos. The fit score compares your title with the channel's last 30: the words they share and how close the length is. A strong title that reads like someone else's channel scores lower on fit. That goes for a vlog title like 'Riding the Alps at 4am, alone' as much as a review.
Read the score as a nudge
50 sits in the middle of the scale. It says nothing about the channel's own click-through rate. The more titles a channel has, the more the fit score has to go on: 30 titles show a real habit, three are a rough sketch. For a real prediction, use the Oracle inside Creatorscope.
Want the Oracle on your own channel?
Signed in, the Oracle reads a title against your own videos: your top 25, a middle ten, your bottom ten and your recent uploads. It says go, pivot, wait or skip, with the quartile the video would likely land in, a view range, the past videos it judged by and the risks it sees. When it says pivot, it suggests three other angles.
