ContentScout
Trusted by 1,000 strategists and content teams

Plan videos around what's already working

Decide before you spend three days shooting:

  • Validate an idea against the channels that already tested it.
  • Study packaging and angles instead of guessing at them.
  • Read a whole category without going channel by channel.
  • 10,000+ posts and accounts analyzed daily
  • Channels refreshed every 24 hrs
  • Based on live data

Study a whole category without going channel by channel

Learn the packaging that carries a channel

Add the channels you compete with and ContentScout reads them: which topics they lean on, how they open a video, which uploads beat their own median and which ones they quietly stopped making.

Marketing & Social MediaYOUR NICHESep 9

58% of the viral posts in your niche are shot at home.

Across the other niches it's 37%. It doesn't say that's what made them viral, it says what the ones that got there look like.

Bring it into your content without copying anyone.

@calai.appCOMPETITORSSep 9

@calai.app's videos between 10 and 15 seconds median 2.4× the views of everything longer they post.

Measured on their last 60 posts, against their own median.

Try that length on your next video.

@sephoraYOUR ACCOUNTSSep 9

You've posted about pricing 5 times. All 5 beat your median, and no other topic does that.

It's your most reliable topic, and the one you post least.

Move it up in next week's calendar.

@sephoraYOUR ACCOUNTSSep 8

Videos you record with an office background do 2× better than the rest of yours.

Same length, same topics. What changes is the room.

Shoot the next two there and compare.

@hormoziCOMPETITORSSep 8

Their best recent post ran 7.2× @hormozi's own median after switching the hook to a question.

Their three previous posts opened with a statement.

Look at what that post had, and keep the shape.

Know why a video worked before you make yours

ContentScout reads transcripts and thumbnails at scale, so you can study the opening, the structure and the packaging of what already worked in your category, and plan yours on top of it.

The research that decides what is worth shooting

A viral library to model packaging

Proven videos by category and format, so the reference for a thumbnail or an opening is a search away.

Trends worth a production slot

Catch a topic while it is climbing, so the video lands while people are still searching for it.

Alerts across your category

A competitor breaking out, a topic taking off, a format cooling down. The signals that reopen a content calendar.

FAQ

It reads the channels in your category and the conversation around your topics, and shows which ideas already beat their own median elsewhere, which questions keep going unanswered, and which formats are rising. You commit a shoot to something that already has evidence.

Yes. It reads thumbnails and transcripts at scale, so you can study the openings and the framing of the videos that outperformed in your category instead of guessing at them.

No, that is the point. You add the channels once and ContentScout keeps reading all of them daily, comparing each video against that channel's own median rather than against a raw view count.

Yes, and it also covers TikTok and Instagram, which is where a lot of short-form formats start before they reach YouTube.

Only what is already public on the platforms: videos, titles, thumbnails, transcripts, comments and the metrics any channel shows. We never read private or internal data. No DMs, no follower or following lists, no inbox.

Yes. Monthly and annual plans cancel from your account settings, in two clicks, with nobody to talk to on the way out.
