The New ChannelCrawler App: Faster, Smarter YouTube Discovery

ChannelCrawler

Building a YouTube outreach list used to take hours. Keyword searches rarely returned clean results, you’d often run into duplicate channels, and slow exports cost both time and credits. For agencies, affiliate teams, or anyone sponsoring creators, this friction slowed down entire campaigns.

The latest version of the ChannelCrawler app fixes that — with a sharper workflow, AI-powered filters, and smarter export tools.

The Old Way: Manual Workarounds and Wasted Credits

If you’ve done YouTube creator discovery before, this might sound familiar:

You typed in a few keywords and hoped the results were relevant

You exported a batch of channels, only to find duplicates or channels you’d already used

Search speed wasn’t always ideal, especially for high-volume queries

It worked — but only just. It wasn’t scalable, and it wasn’t built for outreach teams trying to move fast.

The New Way: Smarter Tools, Built for Speed

The redesigned app introduces a number of updates that change the way discovery works:

AI Categories: Search across 300+ predefined topics, each with confidence scores

Deduped exports: No more paying twice for the same creator — previously exported channels are automatically excluded

Improved saved searches and channel folders: Organise campaigns with clearer lists and labels

Advanced filters: Use growth filters across 7, 14, 30, or 90 days. Sort by recent view counts across the last 10 or 50 videos

Higher storage limits: Users on Starter and Power plans can now save more searches and channel data

Larger database: More YouTube channels, more email matches, and improved accuracy

Much faster searches: Results now return significantly quicker than in the previous version

Each change is designed to save you time and help you work at scale — whether you’re managing sponsorships, running influencer campaigns, or simply building lists for later.

How to Use It: A Campaign Workflow in Action

Let’s say you’re running outreach for a product launch targeting creators in the Finance & Crypto space.

Here’s how the new process works:

Search by AI Category instead of relying on keyword matching

Add filters for subscriber size, growth rate, or recent activity

Save your results into a labelled folder

Export clean data — free from duplicates, fully filtered, and ready to use

Repeat with variations — e.g. try adjacent niches like Productivity Tools or Investing

Tip: Test 7-day vs 90-day growth filters. A short spike might indicate trending topics, while longer-term growth can reveal stable creator momentum.

Why It Matters

The upgrade isn’t just about speed — it’s about confidence in your targeting.

You’re not wasting credits on channels you already have

You’re not spending hours cleaning up keyword searches

You’re not missing high-potential creators just because they use unusual phrasing

With smarter filters and better structure, the new app lets you focus on the outreach itself — not the prep.
