The tool guide

A closer look

The YTKits YouTube Video Comparison Tool places two videos side by side using public statistics and clearly labeled calculated estimates. Its summary score applies the same formula to both videos; it is not a YouTube ranking, recommendation, or analytics score.

How it works

  1. Paste the first public YouTube video URL.
  2. Add the second public video URL.
  3. Review the metric-by-metric comparison and the formula-based summary.

Private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable videos may not return results.

Metrics explained

  • Views: A snapshot of public reach at request time. It does not reveal why people found the video.
  • Engagement ratio: Available likes plus comments divided by views. It describes visible interaction, not a decisive ranking factor.
  • Like and comment ratios: Normalize visible interactions so videos of different sizes are easier to compare.
  • View pace: Views divided by time since publication. It is a lifetime average, not real-time velocity or proof of current distribution.
  • YTKits score: A consistent comparison formula based on public metrics. It is not supplied by YouTube.
  • Revenue scenario: Uses assumed RPM ranges and the viewer-country choice. It cannot access private earnings, monetized playbacks, or audience geography.

Reproduce the comparison

Engagement ratio is (likes + comments) / views. Lifetime hourly view pace is views / hours since publication, with a minimum age of 0.25 hours. The summary is capped at 100 and combines 70% of log10(hourly pace + 1) x 25 with 30% of engagement ratio x 100. It is a chosen weighting, not a scientifically validated ranking.

For example, 10,000 views, 400 likes and 50 comments produce a 4.5% visible interaction ratio. That does not tell you the video's audience retention or watch time, so those private metrics are not estimated here.

Interpreting the summary

The video with the higher summary score performed better under the selected YTKits formula. That does not establish statistical significance, explain causation, or identify which video YouTube currently favors. Publication date, audience size, traffic sources, paid promotion, topic, and format can all change the comparison.

Use the tool to form questions for a deeper review. Channel owners should verify conclusions in YouTube Studio, where private impressions, click-through rate, watch time, retention, and traffic sources are available.

Frequently asked questions

Can I compare videos from different channels?

Yes. Consider differences in channel size, audience, topic, format, and publication date when interpreting the result.

What does the virality score mean?

It is a YTKits 0–100 comparison rating combining public view pace and interaction ratios . It cannot confirm active algorithmic distribution.

Is the revenue comparison actual earnings?

No. It is a scenario based on public views and adjustable assumptions. Actual revenue is private and may be outside the displayed range.

Does the winner mean one video is objectively better?

No. It only means that one video scored higher under the displayed formula and available inputs.
