Competitor analysis

YouTube competitor analysis, end-to-end.

Most YouTube competitor tools stop at the title and the thumbnail. Deeporax pulls the full transcript of every video your competitor has ever posted, scores their hook against real retention data, traces the retention curve frame by frame, and writes you a sharper counter-take script in 22 seconds. Track up to 25 channels on Pro, 100 on Studio. all on one panel, one refresh cycle.

Track every channel, not just the metrics

Paste a channel URL or @handle. Within seconds we pull the last 2,000 videos, full transcripts (with a caption-scraper fallback), retention curves, comment velocity, posting cadence, and topic clusters. The panel refreshes every 6 hours on Pro and Studio.

  • Up to 100 competitor channels on a single panel
  • Full transcripts with timecodes. Even for videos without captions
  • In-app spike, cadence, and format-pivot alerts on every channel
  • Channel-level metadata: subs, view trajectory, format mix, posting frequency

Read every transcript. extract the tactics

Every transcript is parsed for hook patterns, story beats, retention drops, viral outliers, and posting-cadence shifts. The work that used to take you a weekend now takes seven seconds. Surface the moves your competitors are actually making, not the ones they tweet about.

  • AI hook scoring (0–100) with pattern tags
  • Retention-curve analysis with annotated drop-offs
  • Topic clustering across your full competitor panel
  • Outlier detection: videos beating channel baseline by 3x or more

Ship a sharper counter-take in 22 seconds

When a competitor breaks out, Deeporax writes you the response brief automatically: a 12–18 minute teleprompter draft with cold open, story beats, b-roll cues, and outro. each annotated with the tactic it borrowed from the source. Free editorial review, opinionated by default.

  • Counter-take brief generated from any competitor video
  • Tactic annotations: cold-open, beat, b-roll, outro
  • AI title suggestions + draft hook score in the same brief
  • Deeporax Vision thumbnail analysis paired with each brief

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

How is Deeporax different from vidIQ or TubeBuddy?

vidIQ and TubeBuddy optimize your own channel. keyword suggestions, tag recommendations, thumbnail A/B tests. Deeporax goes the other direction: it studies your competitors. We pull the full transcript of every video they post, score their hooks against real retention data, and write you the counter-take script. Different problem, different tool.

Do you actually pull the transcript of every video?

Yes. every video on every tracked channel. Our ingestion pipeline pulls accurate timecoded transcripts directly from YouTube and falls back to caption files when the primary path is rate-limited. Even videos without published captions are transcribed.

How fresh is the competitor data?

Panels refresh every 6 hours on both Pro and Studio. View-velocity spikes, cadence drops, and format pivots are detected on each refresh and surface in your Alerts inbox so you'll know your competitor broke out before YouTube's algorithm finishes deciding.

Can I start without a credit card?

Yes. Every account starts on a 14-day free trial with 1 tracked competitor, full transcripts, hook scoring, and retention curves. no card required. On day 15, upgrade to Pro to scale up to 25 competitors or let the workspace stay read-only.
