YouTube Outlier Finder Free Tool

Find Proven Viral Video Ideas in Seconds

Stop guessing what content will perform. YouTube Outlier Scout analyzes channels and keywords to surface videos that dramatically outperformed expectations—giving you a blueprint of what’s actually working right now.

What It Does

This tool identifies “outlier” videos—content that got significantly more views than a channel’s typical performance. A video with 500K views on a channel that usually gets 50K? That’s a 10x outlier, and it signals a topic, format, or angle worth studying (or recreating for your own audience).

How to Use It

Option 1: Analyze a Specific Channel

Paste a YouTube channel URL, handle (@username), or channel name
Select your date range (All Time, Last 30 Days, 90 Days, 6 Months, or 1 Year)
Click search to see their videos ranked by outlier score

Option 2: Search by Keyword

Enter a topic or keyword (exact match)
See top-performing videos across YouTube for that search term
Identify which videos broke through the noise

How Outlier Scores Work

The tool pulls up to 50 recent videos from a channel and calculates the median view count as the baseline. Each video then gets scored:

Outlier Score = Video Views ÷ Median Views

1x score = Average performance
3x+ score = Viral anomaly (highlighted automatically)
10x+ score = Massive breakout worth reverse-engineering

Results are sorted highest-first, so your best content opportunities appear at the top.

Save, Share & Export

Save results to your database for future reference
Generate shareable links with built-in view tracking
Export options (available on share page): Google Sheets, Google Docs, or copy to clipboard

Use this tool to find video topics your audience already wants—then create content you know has a higher chance of performing.
