Can I look up any channel in YT Manager?

No. YT Manager reports on channels that have granted read-only access, which is what makes the private metrics available.

Why can't public tools show CTR?

Impressions and click-through rate are never published by YouTube; only the channel owner can authorise access to them.

Is the revenue figure exact?

It is YouTube's own estimated revenue, the same figure Studio reports, and it can adjust slightly at month end.

Connect a channel through Google and the dashboard populates in a couple of minutes.

A ViewStats alternative for your own channels, not public estimates

Public analytics sites are useful for spying on other creators. They cannot see your impressions, your click-through rate or your revenue, because that data never leaves your authorised account.

The problem with the Studio workflow

Estimate-based tools infer performance from public view counts. That is fine for competitor curiosity and useless for deciding what to change on your own channel, where the deciding metrics are private.

What YT Manager does differently

Authorised, first-party analytics rather than scraped public estimates
Impressions, CTR, average view duration and estimated revenue
Every channel you own or manage in one ranked view
An AI coach that reasons over your real numbers
