Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good engagement rate? โ–พ
Industry rule of thumb: 3โ€“7% view-based engagement is healthy. Below that suggests a passive audience; well above it usually means a smaller, highly engaged one. It varies by niche and channel size, so treat it as a benchmark, not a hard rule.
What's the difference between view-based and subscriber-based rate? โ–พ
View-based rate measures (likes + comments) against views on that content โ€” a signal of how compelling the content itself is. Subscriber-based rate measures the same against total subscribers โ€” a signal of how active your whole audience actually is.
Why is the subscriber-based rate sometimes "Hidden"? โ–พ
Some channels choose to hide their subscriber count publicly. When that's the case, we can't compute a rate against it, so we show "Hidden" instead of a number.
How does Channel Avg mode work? โ–พ
It averages both rates across the channel's most recent uploads (up to 25 videos), giving a more stable picture than any single video.
Is this tool free to use? โ–พ
Yes, completely free with no signup, email, or login required.
