Live subscriber counter

YouTube Live Sub Count

Type a YouTube handle to open its live sub count. The counter checks YouTube every 5 minutes and rolls each change in. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts to three significant figures above 1,000, so a big channel moves in steps rather than one subscriber at a time, and the counter shows the figure exactly as YouTube publishes it.

The largest YouTube channels in our directory. Each card shows its seven-day change, so the movers are easy to spot.

How the YouTube counter works

Synced with YouTube
Every 5 minutes while the page is open.
Between readings
The number holds the figure YouTube published. YouTube rounds it, so there are no real digits in between to show.
Source
Read through the YouTube Data API v3. YouTube itself rounds subscriber counts to three significant figures above 1,000, so this number moves in steps and the hidden digits are not estimated.
Precision
Rounded by YouTube itself to three significant figures above 1,000, so large counts move in steps.
Shared readings
One reading serves everyone watching the same channel, so a popular counter costs YouTube no extra requests.
History
Channels in our YouTube directory show their daily subscriber history under the counter, and their pace comes from it.
Failed readings
The counter stops on the last measured value and labels it. It never keeps running past a reading that did not come in.

YouTube counter FAQ

What is a live sub count?
A live sub count is a YouTube subscriber counter that refreshes by itself. Type a channel handle into the box on this page and it opens a counter that checks YouTube every 5 minutes and rolls each change in. Channels in our YouTube directory also show their daily subscriber history.
How often does the YouTube subscriber count update?
It syncs with YouTube every 5 minutes while the page is open. One reading is shared by everyone watching the same channel, which is what keeps the counter free to use.
Why does the YouTube subscriber count move in steps?
Since 2019 YouTube has published subscriber counts rounded to three significant figures once a channel passes 1,000, so a channel on 1,243,912 shows as 1.24M. The rounding happens before any outside site sees the number, so a live counter can only move when the rounded figure does. A counter showing every digit for a large channel is showing an estimate.
Which YouTube channel has the most subscribers?
In our YouTube directory the largest is MrBeast (@mrbeast) with 521,000,000 subscribers at the last daily reading. Open its live counter on this page to watch the current number.
Do I need a YouTube login to use the counter?
No. The counter reads public YouTube data, so it needs no YouTube login, no PlayerSells account and no app. It is free.
