Describe Who You Want
Describe the campaign the way you'd brief a colleague — the topic, the size of channel, the country and language — and AllyHub comes back with creators who fit that description.
Sponsor the channel, not the subscriber count. AllyHub brings back the evidence you'd need to defend the name — read off the channel itself, today.
Anyone can produce twenty channel names in an afternoon. The six below are about the harder half — the evidence that lets you put a name in front of whoever signs off on the spend.
Describe the campaign the way you'd brief a colleague — the topic, the size of channel, the country and language — and AllyHub comes back with creators who fit that description.
Each candidate is read from what they've actually posted lately: how often they upload, how their last videos performed, and an engagement rate AllyHub computes itself from the public likes, comments, and views.
AllyHub reads the paid-promotion disclosures and the links under recent uploads, so you can see which brands have already bought this audience — and whether one of them is your competitor.
The comment section is the only audience research the public gets, so AllyHub reads it: what viewers ask, what they push back on, and what they said the last time this channel ran a sponsorship.
Give AllyHub the topics your brand can't sit beside and it screens each candidate's public uploads for them, reporting what it found and which video it found it in. The call stays yours.
Where a creator has published a business email it comes back on the row — blank where they haven't — beside a first-draft pitch that refers to the video you'd be sponsoring.
From a campaign brief to a shortlist you can defend — youtube influencer search in three steps.
Say what you're hiring for: the niche, the subscriber band, the region and language, and the subjects your brand can't appear next to.
For every candidate it pulls subscribers, recent uploads and their views, upload cadence, computed engagement rate, sponsor disclosures, what the comments raise, public email, and your flag list.
Rank the candidates against the brief, take the drafts to your own inbox, and keep the brief and the flag rules as a Playbook for the next campaign.
The shortlist is the easy half. These four are about the half you have to defend.
Audience age, gender, location: only the creator sees those, in their own YouTube Studio. Every platform selling them to you is modelling an estimate, and the quality scores beside them can't be checked either. AllyHub scores no one — it shows what is observable and says where it looked.

A creator who stopped uploading in March still looks excellent in a database row built in February. AllyHub keeps no index to go stale; it opens the channel when you ask, so "are they still active" isn't a question you have to answer again afterwards.

Filters return candidates; what takes the week is watching enough of someone's videos to be sure. AllyHub does that pass instead — the flags, the sponsors already in frame, and what the comments raise arrive attached to each name, with the video each one came from.

Your flag list, your subscriber band, the way you word a pitch: keep them as a Playbook and the next campaign starts from your standards rather than a blank page. Your AllyHub never starts from scratch again, so each brief gets faster every time.

In-house teams, founders spending their own money, agencies defending a roster, and anyone who owns the risk when it goes wrong.
You present five creators and the first question is why them — and "500k subscribers" is an answer that works exactly once. Bring each name with its evidence attached and the review is about the campaign instead of about your research.
The budget covers three partnerships this quarter, so one creator whose viewers were never going to buy costs you a third of the year's testing. Read what their audience actually asks about before the money moves, not after the video is live.
You are recommending creators you don't personally watch to a client who absolutely will. Walk in with their recent uploads, the brands already in frame beside them, and a stated reason each name made the page.
The video that ends a campaign is usually two years old and has been public the whole time. Screen the back catalogue against your own list first, and make the decision with the clip in front of you rather than after a screenshot starts circulating.

What brand and agency teams ask before committing budget to a creator.
A YouTube influencer finder locates creators on YouTube and works out whether they suit a campaign — the subject they cover, how big and how active the channel is, and what associating a brand with it would mean. AllyHub builds that shortlist from what is publicly on each channel today and brings the evidence back beside the names.
Yes — a small discovery run is on the free plan. Long shortlists, the screening pass across a candidate's back catalogue, saved campaign Playbooks, and outreach drafting are what the paid plans cover.
No, and nor can anyone else, whatever a dashboard implies. Age, gender and location live in the creator's own YouTube Studio; every third-party version is an estimate from a panel or a model. AllyHub stays with what is visible — the videos, the sponsors, the comments, the arithmetic on public counts — so when you need the real breakdown, ask the creator for their media kit.
Yes, as far as their videos declare it. AllyHub reads the paid-promotion disclosures and the description links on recent uploads, which is how sponsorships are disclosed publicly, and lists the brands it finds there. A deal that was never disclosed won't show up — that's a limit of the source rather than of the search.
Only the addresses creators publish themselves. If a channel lists one, you get it; if it doesn't, the field stays blank rather than filled with a guess — there is no scraping around a creator who chose not to be emailed. On sending: AllyHub writes the first draft against the video you'd be sponsoring, then it goes out from your inbox, under your name, when you decide it should.
AllyHub works it out rather than reading it off YouTube, because YouTube publishes no such figure: likes and comments measured against views across recent videos, applied identically to every candidate. That sameness is the point — it makes the column comparable down your shortlist.
Databases rent you an index and a score: an audience estimate you can't verify, a quality number you can't audit, and a row that was true whenever it was last crawled. AllyHub keeps no index — it opens the channels your brief points at, brings back what is publicly there, and leaves the judgement with you. It compounds with every task, so the second brief costs a fraction of the first. For the same search on other platforms there's the Influencer Search Tool; to simply see who's in a niche, the YouTube Channel Finder is the lighter door.
