A vidIQ alternative
for curious creators.
When evaluating a vidIQ alternative for video research, raw view counts are only one part of the decision. A smaller creator’s breakout can reveal a useful idea long before it looks large in absolute terms. Viraldi puts that relative comparison in the public card.
What vidIQ offers
vidIQ’s Outliers documentation describes filters for score, views, subscribers, views per hour, length and publishing date, plus video details and similar-video actions.

Questions about this alternative
Is an outlier score the same as views per hour?
No. A multiplier compares a video with a channel baseline. Velocity measures view growth within a stated time window. Viraldi keeps these fields separate. They are unavailable for collected videos until the corresponding history and calculation pipeline are ready.
What can I use in Viraldi today?
Search, tags, public cards, research collections and watchlists work with collected YouTube metadata. Niche assignment and age-matched scoring are still pending. Transcript requests are available with a paid plan. Advanced analytics and MCP are in development.
Is Viraldi affiliated with vidIQ?
