About Us
Free tools that turn what YouTube already publishes into straight answers — for creators growing a channel, and for anyone whose work depends on one.
How we got here
Our Story
Upload Pulse started with a simple idea. YouTube makes a remarkable amount of information about videos and channels public, and some of the most useful parts — like the tags a creator adds to an upload — are there for search rather than for viewers. We wanted one place to see all of it clearly, without signing in to anything.
Every tool here reads what YouTube publishes through its official API, shows where each figure came from, and labels an estimate as an estimate. No account, no trial, no upsell.
Today that is a suite of 9 free YouTube tools — for checking monetization readiness, pulling tags and descriptions, reading whole comment sections, finding channel IDs, estimating earnings and scoring a video's SEO.
Whether you are a new creator working toward the Partner Program, an established channel tidying up its metadata, or a marketer vetting a creator before a sponsorship, the idea is the same: paste a link, get a straight answer, and get back to making videos.
Our mission
To put the public data behind any YouTube video or channel in plain view — free, without a login, and honest about which numbers are measured and which are estimated.
Our vision
A web where any question about a public video or channel takes one paste to answer — without paying for it, and without handing anyone the keys to your account.

Read from the source, not scraped
Every figure on this site traces back to something YouTube published. Knowing which parts are reported and which are calculated is the difference between a useful tool and a confident guess.
The official API, not a scraper
Titles, tags, descriptions, comments and channel statistics come from the YouTube Data API — the same interface YouTube offers developers. Scraping a page would be both fragile and against YouTube's terms. Results are cached for several hours to keep the tools free, so a figure that changed very recently may take a little while to catch up.
Two tools never touch our servers
The Thumbnail Downloader and Hashtag Generator run entirely in your browser. The images come straight from YouTube's own servers to you, and the hashtag sets are built from a vocabulary that ships with the page. Nothing you type into either one reaches us at all.
Where we stop
Some things can only be modelled: YouTube does not publish a ranking score or a revenue forecast, and Partner Program decisions come from its own review of the whole channel. Where a tool estimates any of these, it says so on the page and shows the inputs.
How we work
Three things that don't change
01
Public data only
Every tool reads what YouTube already publishes. We never ask you to sign in, so we could not reach a private video, your analytics or your messages even if we wanted to.
02
An estimate is labelled an estimate
Earnings, monetization readiness and SEO scores are calculated, not reported by YouTube. Each one shows the figures behind it, so you can judge the number instead of trusting it.
03
Nothing you paste is kept
There are no accounts and no history. Results are cached against a video ID for up to 48 hours so the tools stay fast and free — never against you.
The detail behind the third one is in our privacy policy, which is written to describe what the site actually does rather than to cover every possibility.
The business model
Why none of this costs anything
Advertising, not subscriptions
The site is funded by ads. There is no premium tier, no paywalled result and no daily limit on how much you can use it. That choice is why the tools have to stay cheap to run — results are cached and reused, which is what keeps them inside the API quota that makes them free.
What we won't build
No video or audio downloaders. Downloading YouTube media breaches YouTube's Terms of Service, and it is the fastest way for a site like this to lose its API access and take every other tool down with it. We would rather keep all 9 of these squarely inside what the platform allows.
Something missing, or something wrong?
Tool requests, bug reports and corrections all reach a real person. We read everything.
