Question 1

What is Creatix YT?

Accepted Answer

Creatix YT is a free, open-source toolkit for YouTube creators: channel analyzer, channel comparison, tags extractor, title generator, description and comments analysis, thumbnail previewer, trending thumbnails, revenue calculator and ads analysis.

Question 2

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tool and export is free for everyone. There are no paid plans, premium tiers or ads. The only daily limits exist to protect the shared YouTube API quota.

Question 3

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can use every tool without signing up. An optional account keeps your history and bookmarks in sync and raises your daily channel analyses (25 instead of 5).

Question 4

How does the channel analyzer work?

Accepted Answer

Paste a channel URL. Creatix reads the public channel and video data through the official YouTube Data API v3, streams the progress in real time and builds monthly and yearly stats, top videos and insights.

Question 5

Why is there a daily analysis limit?

Accepted Answer

The YouTube API has a daily quota shared by every user. To keep it fair, you get 5 channel analyses per day without an account and 25 when signed in. The counter resets at 00:00 UTC.

Question 6

Which URL formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

youtube.com/channel/ID, youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/user/name and youtube.com/c/name.

Question 7

Can I export the results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tool can export to PDF, Excel (XLSX), CSV and TXT, for every user.

Question 8

Are the revenue figures real?

Accepted Answer

No. The revenue calculator and monetization metrics are estimates based on industry averages (CPM/RPM by country and niche). They are not YouTube data.

Question 9

Is Creatix open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The code is released under the AGPL-3.0 license: you can study it, modify it and run your own instance. If you distribute it or offer a modified version to other people over a network, you must share its source under the same license. The Creatix name and logo are not included: a fork must use its own.

Question 10

How can I help the project?

Accepted Answer

Share it with other creators, report bugs, suggest ideas through the feedback form or contribute code to the repository.

Question 11

What data do you store?

Accepted Answer

We only use public YouTube data and never keep statistics of other channels for more than 30 days. If you create an account we store your email and your history, which you can delete at any time. Your IP is used temporarily for the daily limits.

Question 12

Do you access my YouTube account?

Accepted Answer

No. Creatix never asks for permissions on your YouTube account; it only reads public channel and video information.

Question 13

Why does a channel fail to load?

Accepted Answer

The URL may be wrong, the channel may be private or terminated, or the daily YouTube API quota may be exhausted. Check the URL or try again later.

Question 14

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari), on desktop or mobile. You can also install Creatix as an app (PWA).
