A Hootsuite alternative built only for YouTube reporting
Hootsuite earns its price when you publish to many networks and many clients. If your work is YouTube analysis, most of that price pays for features you never open.
The problem with the Studio workflow
Enterprise social suites bundle publishing, inbox, listening and approval workflows. A YouTube-first team pays for all of it and still ends up exporting numbers into a spreadsheet because the YouTube reporting is generic.
What YT Manager does differently
- Purpose-built YouTube metrics instead of network-agnostic charts
- Cross-channel leaderboard for client or portfolio reviews
- Weekly AI reports written from your own analytics
- Pricing sized for creators and small agencies, not enterprise seats
