To compare two influencers, enter two YouTube @handles or channel links and press Compare. You get the two channels side by side: the quality score out of 100 with its rating, subscribers, the median views per video and the size tier. Instagram accounts are not counted in this tool.
This page reads both accounts from the creators we have collected. You do not type in any numbers; we already have them.
What you get
Two accounts side by side: quality score, audience and views
You get one comparison: the same numbers for both accounts, lined up row by row, so the difference is the first thing you see. Both accounts are on the same platform, so every number is measured the same way.
What comes out:
- A quality score for each. A number from 0 to 100 with a rating from Poor to Excellent, measured against accounts of the same size. When a score is low, one line names the main reason.
- Subscribers. How big each channel’s audience is.
- Engagement rate. The median likes plus comments per post, divided by followers. It is an Instagram number, so YouTube channels show a dash in this row.
- Median views. The middle view count across each channel’s recent videos.
- Size tier. The subscriber band each channel sits in, such as 10K–50K or 1M+.
The score is a quality signal, not a verdict. A lower score says an account’s numbers look unusual for its size; it does not prove that anyone bought followers or views.

How the comparison works
The same numbers for both accounts, measured the same way
Both accounts come from the creators we have collected on YouTube, and every number is worked out by the same rules for both. Comparing across platforms is not possible: followers and subscribers, and the way views are counted, differ between Instagram and YouTube.
The quality score is the one the Instagram and YouTube account checks give: each account is placed among accounts of the same platform and a similar size, and its recent posts are compared with theirs. It runs from 0 to 100. We do not sample or classify followers, so the score is a signal about the numbers, not a verdict about the people behind them.
Median views come from the middle of each channel’s recent videos, so each column shows a typical video, not a single standout. The size tier is the subscriber band a channel falls in; two channels in the same tier make the fairest pair.
Limits
Free version limits
Your first lookup is free, no sign-up. Leave your email to keep going, then create a free Spytrend account: in Spytrend Influencers it opens the first page of results, with part of the rows hidden, and a subscription adds full lists, contacts and export.
One comparison of two accounts counts as one lookup, and a comparison in which neither account can be scored is not counted. Both accounts must be on the same platform, and the result stays on this page.
Why influencer marketers use it
Two finalists, one budget — compare them side by side
Two creators can ask the same fee and deliver very different results. Their quality score and median views side by side show which audience actually watches, before you agree a rate.
A brand manager with the budget for one sponsored post compares the two finalists and books the one whose numbers hold up for its size.
A creator manager checks a creator a client suggested against one the brand already works with, before the name goes on the shortlist.
A producer planning a campaign compares creators within one size tier, so the shortlist rests on median views, not on follower counts.

Three jobs a side-by-side comparison cannot do on its own
- Building the shortlist. Search creators by niche, audience size and country, so the two you compare come from a list that fits the brand, not from a follower count alone.
- Checking a creator before you pay. Open a creator to look at their audience and recent videos before you agree a fee.
- Getting the contact. This page shows numbers, not contacts. A subscription adds creators’ contacts and the export of your shortlist; you contact the creator you picked yourself.
From two names to a shortlist, in three steps
- Pick the niche. Choose the niche, audience size and country your campaign needs.
- Check the creators. Open each one to look at their audience and recent videos, then bring the two finalists back here to compare.
- Export your shortlist. With a subscription, download the creators you picked as a CSV or XLSX file and contact them yourself.
