Multi-signal detection
Checks ad placements, heartbeat, join buttons, subscriber count and more.
Age-restriction bypass
Uses 4 different YouTube clients to get signals even on restricted videos.
Confidence scoring
Every result comes with a score and confidence level so you know how reliable it is.
How accurate is the monetization checker?
The checker uses multiple signals from YouTube's internal API across 4 different clients. For most channels it is 85-90% accurate. Age-restricted videos may have limited signals but the bypass clients improve accuracy significantly.
Can I check a YouTube channel instead of a video?
Yes. Paste a channel URL like youtube.com/@MrBeast and the checker will analyze the channel directly, fetching its latest video's ad signals for the most accurate result.
What does 'Likely Monetized' mean?
It means strong signals are present but not all signals could be confirmed. This usually happens on age-restricted videos or channels where some API calls return limited data.
Why is the result Unknown for some videos?
Some videos return very few signals — this can happen with brand new uploads, private videos, or videos in certain regions. The checker shows Unknown rather than guess incorrectly.
