YouTube Shorts Analyzer
Analyze which Shorts go viral — and why — using view-to-subscriber ratios across 150+ regions.
A Shorts analyzer answers one question: did this video perform because the idea worked, or because the channel was already big? ShortsMonkey isolates the idea by ranking Shorts on their view-to-subscriber ratio. A Short with 2M views on a 3K-subscriber channel is a proven format you can study and adapt.
How the analyzer works
- ShortsMonkey scans trending and search data across 150+ YouTube regions every day.
- Each video is scored by its view-to-subscriber (V/S) ratio — the core outlier signal.
- Results are deduplicated by video and refreshed daily, covering both Shorts and long-form.
- You filter by views, subscribers, date, duration and region, then export to CSV.
What you can analyze
Outlier ratio
Every Short shows views ÷ subscribers, so a 170x outlier is instantly visible next to a 2x one.
Region breakdown
See which of 150+ regions a Short broke out in — useful for language and niche selection.
Timing and duration
Publish dates and durations reveal when and how long winning Shorts run.
Channel context
Subscriber counts and channel history separate one-hit wonders from repeatable formats.

YouTube Shorts analyzer FAQ
Is there a free YouTube Shorts analyzer?
Yes. ShortsMonkey offers a free trial with no credit card required, including the daily viral Shorts ranking and outlier ratios. Paid plans start at $19.9/month for full filters and CSV export.
What does a Shorts analyzer measure?
The core metric is the view-to-subscriber (V/S) ratio: views divided by channel subscribers. A high ratio means the Short earned its views from the idea, title and thumbnail rather than from an existing audience.
Can I analyze Shorts from other channels, not just my own?
Yes. Unlike YouTube Studio, which only covers your own channel, ShortsMonkey analyzes public Shorts across 150+ regions so you can study any breakout format before making your own version.
How often is the data updated?
Rankings are refreshed daily, and real-time search queries YouTube data live at the moment you search.
The analyzer works best together with the daily viral ranking and the outlier methodology guide — start with today’s list, then drill into any Short that fits your niche.
