What it is
Vidlens is a YouTube SEO toolkit available on the web, as an extension, and through an API. Its SEO Score rates a video’s title, description, tags, engagement, and early performance on a 0–100 scale. The Chrome extension places scores, view-per-hour figures, outlier badges, and Studio checks inside YouTube. Vidlens tracks competitor uploads hourly and can email when a video gains views three times faster than usual. Its REST API offers video analysis, bulk analysis for up to 50 videos per request, keyword suggestions and scores, competitor tracking, and trend endpoints. Channels connect through read-only YouTube OAuth scopes. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 30 AI credits per month, one competitor channel, AI title, description, and tag tools, and keyword research. Pro costs $14.99 a month; API request limits vary by plan. Users can export data, delete accounts, or revoke YouTube access.
