ViewStats Pricing: A 5x Jump With Nothing in Between
ViewStats has a free account, Pro at $49.99 a month, and Business from $249, with nothing in between, and the Pro price renders in local currency outside the US. ViewStats comes from MrBeast's team; see the data behind his channel in OutlierKit's MrBeast channel analysis.
The short answer
TL;DR: ViewStats pricing at a glance
- •The Free account costs $0 and lets you browse public channel stats.
- •Pro costs $49.99/month, or $479.88/year, which works out at $39.99 a month.
- •Business starts at $249/month with unlimited credits, booked through a call.
- •The Pro price renders in local currency outside the US, so check the USD figure at checkout.
How much does ViewStats cost?
Three tiers. A free account that covers public stats browsing. Pro at $49.99 a month, or $479.88 a year which comes out at $39.99 a month. Business starting at $249 a month with unlimited credits, sold through a call rather than a checkout button.
The decision is almost never Pro versus Business. It is free versus Pro, and it turns on one question: do you use the credit-metered features weekly, or do you mostly look up channel stats? If it is the second, the free account already does that and $49.99 buys you very little.

What does each ViewStats tier include?
Free
$0
Create a free account
Public channel and video stats, the long-form vs Shorts view split that made ViewStats popular, and enough browsing to size up any channel. For anyone who came here after seeing a ViewStats screenshot on Twitter, this is the tier you want.
Covers casual research completely
Pro
$49.99/mo
$479.88/year, which works out at $39.99 a month
ViewStats describes this as their YouTube analytics suite for creators of all sizes. It adds the competitor comparison, deeper analytics and the credit-metered features on top of the free browsing layer.
The only self-serve paid tier
Business
From $249/mo
Book a call. Unlimited credits
Aimed at teams and agencies. ViewStats calls it their most powerful plan and leads with unlimited credits. There is no self-serve checkout, so the real price depends on the conversation.

What should you check before you pay?
The price you see may not be the price in dollars
This is the one to flag hardest. ViewStats renders the Pro price in local currency depending on where you are browsing from. Checking from outside the US returns a converted figure, not the US price. Every dollar figure on this page is the US price, sourced from US coverage of the product rather than a local render. If you are comparing tools from outside the US, make sure you are comparing like with like.
There is nothing between $49.99 and $249
That is a five-fold jump. Most tools in this category ladder you up in $20 steps. ViewStats does not, which means a growing creator who outgrows Pro has nowhere sensible to go. If you expect to need more than Pro within a year, factor that cliff into the decision now.
Credits are the real unit, not seats
Business leads on unlimited credits, which tells you what actually constrains Pro. Before committing, work out how many credit-metered actions your workflow needs in a month, because that is the number that decides whether Pro holds or you hit the cliff.
The Trustpilot score is low
The rating we cite across our pages is 2.4 out of 5 on Trustpilot. That is unusually low for a well-known product and it is worth reading the reviews yourself before subscribing. Brand recognition and user satisfaction are not the same thing.
It is a stats product first
ViewStats grew out of tooling MrBeast's team built for themselves, and the DNA shows. It is very good at showing you what a channel did. It is thinner on the research workflow that turns those numbers into your next video.
Is ViewStats worth it?
| Your situation | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Looking up channel stats and Shorts vs long-form splits | Free tier | The free account covers this. Paying adds nothing for casual lookups. |
| Tracking competitors seriously as a solo creator | Pro, with a caveat | At $49.99 a month it is one of the pricier solo tiers in this category. Check the credit maths against your actual workflow. |
| Agency managing multiple client channels | Business | Unlimited credits and team access, from $249 a month. There is no cheaper multi-channel path here. |
| You need a middle tier around $100 | Look elsewhere | It does not exist. The gap between Pro and Business is the structural weakness of this pricing page. |
| You want outlier detection and niche research | Wrong tool | ViewStats reports channel performance. It is not built to surface videos beating their channel baseline. |
If the Gap Is the Problem
What if the $249 Business tier is too much?
The awkward position with ViewStats is being a creator who has outgrown free but cannot justify $49.99, or an agency that needs multi-channel work without a $249 commitment. There is no tier for either of those people.
OutlierKit (the tool I build) ladders differently: $49 Hobby, $99 Pro, $399 Max. It is built for experts, consultants and coaches who use YouTube to share what they know. Every tier has outlier detection plus title, description, chapters and script review tools. Pro and Max add the API and an MCP connector for Claude. There is a free trial with 30 credits and no card. The honest difference is one of purpose rather than price. ViewStats reports what channels did. Outlier research finds the individual videos that beat their own channel's baseline, which is the thing you can actually copy.

ViewStats pricing FAQ
How much does ViewStats cost?+
ViewStats has a free account, a Pro plan at $49.99 per month or $479.88 per year, and a Business plan starting at $249 per month. The annual Pro price works out at $39.99 a month. Business is sold through a call rather than self-serve checkout.
Is ViewStats free?+
Yes, there is a free account and it covers the public stats browsing most people come for, including the long-form versus Shorts view split. Pro is the paid self-serve tier.
Why does ViewStats show a different price for me?+
Their pricing page renders the Pro price in local currency based on where you are browsing from. Checking from outside the United States returns a converted figure rather than the US dollar price. The $49.99 figure on this page is the US price. Always confirm which currency you are being quoted before you compare tools.
Is ViewStats Pro worth $49.99 a month?+
It depends on whether you use the credit-metered features enough to justify it. For pure channel lookups the free tier is already sufficient, so paying only makes sense if competitor tracking and deeper analytics are part of a weekly routine. Pro costs $49.99 a month, so it is worth comparing other outlier or research tools first.
What is the difference between ViewStats Pro and Business?+
Pro is the self-serve creator plan at $49.99 a month. Business starts at $249 a month, is aimed at teams and agencies, and its headline feature is unlimited credits. There is no tier between them, so the step up is roughly five times the price.
Does ViewStats have a free trial?+
ViewStats offers a free account rather than a time-limited trial of Pro. That free account is the way to evaluate the platform before paying.
Who owns ViewStats?+
ViewStats came out of MrBeast's team, built originally as internal tooling and then released publicly. That origin is a large part of its credibility and its brand recognition among creators.
Sources and method
The Business figure was read from viewstats.com on August 6, 2026 (the date at the top of this page), in US dollars. The Pro figure is the US price, taken from US coverage of the product because the vendor page renders local currency outside the United States. Confirm at checkout before you buy. The worth-it verdict weighs documented plan terms and public reviews, not a paid test.
