Live YouTube subscriber counts

YouTube rounds every public subscriber count to three significant figures, so no live counter anywhere is showing you a measurement. LiveCount shows you the estimate and tells you how it was arrived at: which reading it is anchored to, how the growth rate was measured, and how wrong it might be.

Popular channels

The largest of the 243 channels we track. The roster is seeded with many of the biggest channels on YouTube and grows whenever somebody looks up a new one — every lookup is shared, so it stays current for everyone.

What you get on a channel page

A counter that stutters the way real subscriber arrivals do rather than ticking like a metronome, with the digits we are genuinely unsure about visibly dimmed. A chart of what we have actually recorded, joined to a projection drawn in a different style so the two are never confused. A written analysis of the trend, regenerated daily from our own readings. Projections at one day, one week, one month, three months and a year, each with a plausible range instead of a false point. And the next two milestones with estimated dates.

All of it is derived from readings this site takes and stores itself. None of it is available from YouTube, which publishes a rounded number and nothing else. If you want the arithmetic, the methodology page has all of it, including a model error we got wrong and fixed.
