What you actually get

Four mechanics, one weekly report.

The product is honest about its surface area. It does four things, well, and nothing else. No live calls, no community, no “mastermind.” You get analysis and a written report. That’s it.

Last-30-videos analysis

Iron Front pulls your last 30 published videos via the YouTube Data API. Claude reads every title, thumbnail, description, retention curve, and CTR. Looks for what your top 3 had in common that your bottom 3 didn't — patterns you can't see from inside the channel.

Topic-gap intelligence

We map your last 30 topics against the topics 5-10 adjacent successful channels are crushing. The gap is often where your next 3 videos live — topics you haven't touched that your audience already wants from someone with your authority.

Thumbnail + title patterns

On YouTube, click-through rate is the variable that compounds — small lifts get amplified by every recommendation downstream. Channel Growth Audit identifies the 2-3 thumbnail patterns and title structures over-performing for you, and the 2-3 quietly dragging your CTR down. Specific recommendations, not "make better thumbnails."

Weekly written report

Every Sunday night you get a written report — what shipped, how it performed, the one move for next week. No video calls, no Calendly, no live coaching. Async, written, scannable in 8 minutes. The report goes in your inbox whether you opened the dashboard that week or not.

Why this is a different product than Faceless Launch

Faceless Launch is for cold starts. This is for cold streaks.

Faceless Launch is the 14-day kit for someone shipping their first 30 scripts. The mechanics are setup mechanics — niche, format, frequency, first-100-subs.

Channel Growth Audit serves the opposite end of the journey. You’re past 50K. You’ve cracked the format. You’re shipping consistently. The thing that’s missing isn’t another setup framework — it’s a second pair of analytical eyes reading your data and your competitors’ data and telling you what to make next.

This is a tool for established creators who don’t need encouragement. They need signal.

Pricing

$49/mo $99/mo

First 50 subscribers lock the founding rate for the lifetime of their subscription. After that, standard $99/mo for everyone. Cap is tighter than our other products because past 50 the analyst attention per member breaks.

7-day refund · Cancel anytime · Read-only YouTube access

Common questions

How is this different from VidIQ or TubeBuddy?▾

Those tools surface analytics dashboards. Channel Growth Audit reads the analytics for you and tells you what to do about them. The output is a written recommendation, not a chart you have to interpret. Plus the topic-gap analysis against adjacent channels — neither VidIQ nor TubeBuddy does that comparison work.

Why 50K+ subs minimum?▾

Below 50K subs, the variables that matter most are still upstream — niche fit, format consistency, frequency. The audit assumes you've got those locked in already; the analysis is about squeezing the next 20-50% out of a channel that's already working. If you're below 50K, run the Faceless Launch 14-day kit first; come back here once you've crossed the threshold.

Do I have to give you my YouTube login?▾

No. We use the YouTube Data API v3 with read-only OAuth scope (yt-analytics.readonly). You authorize Iron Front to read your channel's public + analytics data. We never see your password and we can't post, delete, or modify anything. Revoke access anytime from your Google account settings.

Does it work for faceless channels?▾

Yes. The analysis works on any channel format — faceless, face-on, vlog, tutorial, animation. The product was originally designed with faceless creators in mind because they tend to ship more videos per month and have more data to analyze, but the core mechanics work on any monetized channel.

What about Shorts?▾

Shorts get analyzed alongside long-form. Channel Growth Audit treats them as a separate format with its own benchmarks (on Shorts, CTR doesn't matter — first-3-seconds retention is what compounds). The weekly report calls out Shorts vs. long-form patterns separately so you don't conflate them.

Cancel anytime?▾

Yes, in your dashboard. No retention calls, no "are you sure?" form. Founding-50 rate locks for the lifetime of your subscription. 7-day refund if it doesn't pay for itself.

Below 50K subs and still figuring out the format?

Different audience, different mechanics. Faceless Launch ships you the niche-research, script-template, and 30-day publish cadence to clear the YPP threshold.
