SaaS companies on YouTube: the work behind audience size

Read this if you need audience size for SaaS companies on YouTube and you would rather see the real options than a pitch. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and YouTube Channel Stats Extractor is the one that reads SaaS companies on YouTube.

The situation

On YouTube, SaaS one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Any audience size method for SaaS companies on YouTube has to survive this: YouTube is a search engine that pays, so a subscriber count and a view count measure different things. What catches people out on SaaS companies on YouTube, audience size included: headcount flatters them, because contractors and alumni linger on a company page for years. We keep 1 preconfigured task for audience size on SaaS companies on YouTube, across 1 tool.

Why anyone bothers

A follower count for SaaS companies on YouTube is the easiest number to get and the easiest to misread.

Traditional Search Tools

  • G2, for SaaS companies on YouTube. Categories and review counts, free to read, and it only covers vendors that asked to be listed.
  • The channel's recent uploads, for SaaS companies on YouTube. Free, and the gap between subscribers and recent views is the honest number.
  • The platform APIs. Official, accurate and gated. Most now require an app review to read a public follower count, which is weeks of work for one number.
  • Social listening suites. Brandwatch, Sprout and the rest do this among many other things. Priced for a brand team, not for a qualification step in a sales list.
  • SimilarWeb or a traffic estimator. A different proxy for the same question. Better for whether anyone visits, worse for whether anyone follows.
  • Open the profiles. Find the accounts, read the numbers, write them down. Two minutes per brand per network, and completely accurate on the day you do it.
