Public data
Public data only
We only surface information that is publicly visible. No private account data, no scraping of authenticated content.
Estimates are labeled
Earnings, scores, and growth figures are always labeled as estimates. We never present them as exact platform payouts.
Data has a timestamp
Every metric shows when it was last refreshed. Stale data is clearly indicated so you can judge its reliability.

How We Calculate Estimates
Estimates use publicly visible metrics and industry benchmarks. They are directional signals — not platform-reported exact values.
Estimated earnings range
Calculated from publicly visible view counts and industry-average revenue benchmarks for each content category. These are directional ranges — actual creator income varies significantly based on audience location, ad formats, brand deals, and off-platform revenue.
30-day subscriber growth
Derived from the difference between a channel's current count and its count from 30 days prior, based on periodic data snapshots. Short-term spikes from viral content are reflected once captured in a snapshot.
Momentum score
A composite signal (0–100) combining recent growth rate, acceleration relative to a creator's 90-day average, and size-adjusted performance. A smaller creator growing 10% monthly outscores a large one growing 1%.
Consistency score
Measures the smoothness of a creator's growth curve. Low variance across recent periods = high consistency. Creators with erratic spikes followed by drops score lower than steady growers.
Ranking (global, country, category)
Sorted by subscriber or follower count among all creators tracked in CreatorFuse HQ for a given platform, country, or content category. These are relative to our coverage — not official platform charts.
