Why outliers
View counts lie.
View counts lie. A video with 500K views sounds impressive until you realise the channel averages 2 million. That's an underperformer. But 500K views on a channel averaging 50K? That's a video worth studying.
vidfora scores every video against its own channel's median, so the feed only shows ideas that genuinely overperformed — the 1-in-10 videos worth reverse-engineering.
500K views · channel averages 2M
Sounds big. Actually an underperformer.
500K views · channel averages 50K
A true breakout. Study everything about it.
outlier score = views ÷ channel median views, same format

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is an outlier score?
A video's views divided by its channel's median views for the same format (long-form vs Shorts are scored separately). A 7.1x score means the video did 7.1 times better than the channel typically does — that's the signal a topic or packaging idea is worth studying, regardless of channel size.
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No. vidfora ships with a continuously-refreshed dataset of scored videos across many channels, and the Live Channel Analyzer fetches fresh channel data on the server — no API keys or quotas to manage.
Why not just sort by view count?
Raw views mostly measure channel size, not idea strength. A million views on a ten-million-subscriber channel is a quiet day; a million views on a fifty-thousand-subscriber channel is a breakout. Outlier scores normalize for the channel so you only see ideas that genuinely overperformed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel in one click — you keep access through the end of your billing period. The Free plan never expires and needs no credit card.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your saved boards, tracked channels, and searches are tied to your account and never shared. The outlier dataset is built from publicly available YouTube data.
Your next viral video is already out there.
