Meet the Founder
Mike Holp
Founder & CEO, TubeAnalytics
Mike started TubeAnalytics in 2026 after spending three years growing YouTube channels to a combined 500,000+ views — and hitting the same wall every serious creator hits. YouTube Studio tells you what happened. It doesn't tell you why, what to do next, or how you compare against the channels in your niche that are growing faster than you.
He built the first version of TubeAnalytics to solve his own problem: a single dashboard that connected revenue data to retention curves, surfaced competitor outlier videos before they peaked, and answered the questions that YouTube Studio's fragmented reports couldn't. Every feature shipped since launch has come directly from creator feedback.
Our Mission
To give every independent YouTube creator access to the same quality of analytics infrastructure that large media companies have — at a price that works for a one-person channel.
Most creators make content decisions based on incomplete data or gut instinct. YouTube Studio shows you aggregate numbers. TubeAnalytics shows you why those numbers are moving — which specific videos are driving subscriptions, which audience segments have the highest retention, which competitor topics the algorithm is currently favoring.
A 5,000-subscriber channel should have access to the same data depth as a channel with 5 million. That belief has driven every product decision since day one.
What TubeAnalytics Does
Six core capabilities, all powered by authenticated YouTube Analytics API access.
Revenue Analytics
Authenticated CPM and RPM data by video and geography — from the YouTube Analytics API, not estimates.
Retention Curves
Per-timestamp audience drop-off data for every published video to identify exactly where viewers leave.
AI Thumbnail Testing
Upload a finished thumbnail and get a predicted CTR score before the video goes live.
Competitor Tracking
Monitor upload cadence, view trends, and engagement benchmarks across up to 20 competitor channels.
View Velocity
Real-time breakout alerts in the first 48 hours — know which new videos are gaining algorithmic traction.
Audience Demographics
Age, gender, and geographic breakdowns showing which audience segments watch longest and earn the most.
