Search in Plain English
Describe what you're after — "tutorial videos on [topic] from the past six months," "explainer videos under ten minutes" — in plain words. No Boolean operators, no API key, no filters to wire up first.
Get the exact YouTube videos your criteria call for — ranked and ready to take straight into research, not scattered across a hundred tabs.
Describe what you're after — "tutorial videos on [topic] from the past six months," "explainer videos under ten minutes" — in plain words. No Boolean operators, no API key, no filters to wire up first.
Set the bar — minimum views, upload window, video length, even channel subscriber range — and AllyHub returns only the videos that clear it, including the overperformers pulling big views on a small channel.
A list of links is where AllyHub starts, not where it stops — take the set on to transcripts, comment themes, and a side-by-side comparison, all in the place you found them.
Describe the videos you want, set your filters, and get a ranked list — ready to research.
Tell AllyHub the topic or keywords and the criteria that matter. Plain English works; there's no query syntax to learn, and nothing to log into.
It runs the search, applies every filter — recency, view thresholds, duration, subscriber range — and returns each matching video with its title, view count, publish date, and channel.
Sort the results, or push them into transcripts and comparison. Keep the whole search as a Playbook so it can refresh on a weekly cadence — hands-off.
YouTube's search is tuned for watch time and ads — it shows what keeps you scrolling, not what fits your brief. AllyHub returns the exact set your filters describe and ranks it your way, so the videos that match your criteria sit on top instead of the sponsored rows.

A search box takes one query at a time; researching five topics means five searches and five exports to reconcile. AllyHub runs them together — several topics, keywords, or rival channels searched in one go, collated into a single structured list you can sort and compare.

Most finders end at a list of links and leave the real work to you. AllyHub keeps working the set into a research brief — the analysis happens where the search did, not in three other tabs you open later.

Run a video search once, save it, and it becomes a Playbook you re-run on a cadence. AllyHub builds on what it already knows about your topics, sources, and filtering standards, so each run is faster and more precise than the last and never starts from scratch.

Content strategists, researchers, marketers, and educators who need the right video found by criteria, fast.
before you commit a week to a video, you need to know what's already working on the topic — and scrolling YouTube for an hour gives you a feel, not a benchmark. Pull the top 20 videos on the subject with view counts and channel sizes, and you can see the bar you're clearing before you film, not after.
"what is YouTube saying about [brand or topic]?" is a real research question, but the answer is scattered across hundreds of videos you'd have to watch. Find the relevant set by criteria, pull the transcripts and comment themes, and the scatter becomes a structured corpus you can actually analyze.
You know competitors are winning views in your category, but not which topics or formats are doing it. Search their channels and your keywords together, rank by performance, and the patterns driving the views turn into next quarter's editorial calendar.
You need genuinely good explainer videos for a lesson, and YouTube's recommendations optimize for engagement, not accuracy or teaching quality. Filter by your own quality signals — length, recency, channel — and curate a shortlist you'd actually put in front of students.

It's a tool for pulling the specific videos that fit a set of conditions — a topic, a keyword, a view floor, a date window — into one ranked list, instead of scrolling YouTube's relevance feed. AllyHub layers on combined filters, multi-topic runs, and follow-on research like transcripts and comment analysis.
Yes — a single-topic search with the standard filters is free. Paid plans open up running many topics at once, putting a search on a recurring schedule, and heavier follow-on steps like extracting transcripts in bulk.
Yes — put a floor or ceiling on views, pick an upload-date window, cap the length, or bound the channel's subscriber count, and AllyHub returns only the videos that clear those bars. Combine them to surface overperformers: high views on a small channel, the videos a relevance feed keeps hidden.
Different jobs. A trending scraper surfaces what's surging right now, ranked by momentum; a niche finder maps whole topic spaces to enter. A video finder is for when you already know the topic and want the specific videos that match your exact criteria, any time — not just this week's risers.
