What it does

The reported thresholds, tested criterion by criterion

Check

Both reported routes at once

Subscribers, watch hours and Shorts views are tested together, so you see whether either reported route to eligibility is satisfied and which one you are closer to.

  • Watch-hours and Shorts routes
  • Subscriber threshold on both
  • Runs entirely in your browser
Diagnose

Every criterion shown met or unmet

The result lists each threshold with your number against it, so the gap is a specific figure rather than a vague sense of not yet.

  • Per-criterion MET or unmet
  • Exact reported thresholds shown
  • Nothing scanned, only typed numbers
Progress

Know what to work on next

An unmet subscriber threshold and met watch hours is a different job from the reverse. The verdict names the gap and the growth calculator tracks your pace toward it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the YouTube monetization requirements?

The reported YouTube Partner Program thresholds are 1,000 subscribers combined with either 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in the past 90 days. Age 18 or over and living in an eligible country are also reported requirements. The subscriber threshold applies on both routes, so watch hours or Shorts views alone are not enough. This checker tests your typed numbers against those reported thresholds criterion by criterion.

Does this checker scan my channel?

No. It is a pure rule lookup on the numbers you type, computed in your browser with nothing fetched, stored or sent anywhere. Take the figures straight from YouTube Studio, where subscribers, 12-month public watch hours and 90-day Shorts views are all shown. The checker then applies the reported thresholds and shows which criterion is met or unmet, so you know exactly what still needs work before applying.

I have the watch hours but not 1,000 subscribers. Am I eligible?

Not yet, per the reported thresholds. The 1,000 subscriber requirement applies on both reported routes, so 4,000 watch hours with 800 subscribers still falls short. The good news is that watch hours are the harder half for most channels, so closing a subscriber gap tends to be quicker. The subscriber growth calculator in the YouTube tools list helps you track the pace toward the reported 1,000 threshold.

Do Shorts views count toward monetization?

Yes, through their own reported route: 10 million Shorts views in the past 90 days, combined with the 1,000 subscriber requirement. That is a separate test from the 4,000 watch hours route and meeting either one alongside the subscriber threshold satisfies the reported eligibility. The bar is high because Shorts views accumulate fast, though channels with one viral run can clear it while still far from 4,000 long-form watch hours.

What else does YouTube require beyond the numbers?

The reported requirements include being at least 18 and living in a country where the program operates. Program policies apply on top of the numeric thresholds, so a channel that meets the numbers can still be declined on policy grounds. This checker deliberately tests only the numeric thresholds, since those are the objective part. Treat a pass here as ready to apply rather than as a guarantee of acceptance.

Is the YouTube monetization checker free?

Yes, it is free with no signup and no card. Everything is computed in your browser from what you type, with nothing stored or sent anywhere. It sits alongside the other free YouTube tools listed on this page, so you can read a channel from several angles in a few minutes. When you need creator discovery, audience data and vetting at scale, the full platform covers more than 10 million verified creators, starting at $0 with no card.
