Frequently asked questions
You can audit any channel you own. If you sign in and a channel you expected isn't there — or won't connect — that's almost always a YouTube limitation, not a Showrunner one: YouTube only lets a channel's owner authorise outside tools through its API. If you're a Manager or Editor on a channel, you can work in YouTube Studio, but YouTube won't let you connect it to third-party tools like this one — only the owner can.
Read-only YouTube data — your channel, videos, and analytics. The tool reads this to build your report; it can't post, edit, delete, or change anything on your channel.
We use a short-lived sign-in to read your data and build your report — we don't request or store a long-lived “refresh” token, so we can't get back into your account later without you signing in again. Your access token is held only in encrypted form and deleted once your report is ready (usually within minutes; if you sign in but don't finish, it's removed automatically once it expires, about an hour). Your report is kept for 90 days, then automatically deleted — you can also delete it, or all your data, yourself at any time, and our privacy policy has the full detail.
Yes — completely free, with no credit card and no trial. There's a fair-use cap of 3 audits per day so everyone gets a turn, but there's nothing to pay.
Your audit uses your channel's private YouTube Analytics — watch time, subscriber gains, traffic sources — which YouTube only shares with the channel's owner. A public channel link can't provide that, so signing in is the only way to analyse your own data. It's also why you can only audit channels you own.
