All channels on one sheet
One period, one scale, every channel in its fixed colour.
In YouTube Studio every channel is a separate account. Here they sit underneath each other, and within two seconds you see which one is carrying and which one gets nothing.
You can switch between views, watch time, subscribers, impressions and click-through rate. The period applies to all channels at once, so that you compare instead of calculating.

Where people drop off
A curve says more about a video than any total.
Audience retention shows how many are still there after every second. An early kink usually comes from the opening, a slow slide more from the length.
On top of that: how it started compared with your own earlier videos, and what happened since you changed the title or the thumbnail.
The first twelve seconds cost almost thirty per cent. After that the rest stays fairly loyal.

The first hour after uploading
You have just published and you hit reload every two minutes. Everyone knows the feeling.
TubeCompass reads the public counter of your video minute by minute and records how it runs. It is the only value that doesn’t lag behind.
Watch time, impressions and click-through rate aren’t there yet. YouTube itself only knows them days later, and that is exactly what the page says at that point.

It tells you what stood out
You don’t have to know what to look for.
Every night TubeCompass goes through your channels and writes down what falls out of line, sorted by weight. Every finding comes with the measurement it is based on.
If the numbers aren’t enough for a statement, that is written there too.
-
“Workbench rebuilt” is running ten times better than usual 3,140 views in seven days. Your last five videos were between 280 and 400.
-
Kitchen at Night: nothing new for eleven days Views are holding, traffic from suggestions has been declining since the 8th.
-
Title changed on the 9th, effect not measurable Click-through rate 3.9 instead of 4.1 per cent. The difference is too small to conclude anything from it.

Read and answer comments
Without switching accounts, and without anything going out unasked.
Comments are not stored. They come live from YouTube when you open the view and are only displayed. You write the replies yourself, and before anything is sent the tool asks you every single time.
Everything TubeCompass does
Several channels side by side, a chart per metric, video details, the live view, findings, comments, planning the next video.
Everything it does not do
No predictions, no advice without evidence, no spying on other people’s channels, nothing published in your name without confirmation.
