Feature by feature

Eden and ViewStats, side by side.

Capability
Eden
ViewStats
  • Outlier scoring on YouTube
  • Outliers on X, Threads, LinkedIn, Substack, Instagram, TikTok
  • Thumbnail A/B test history
    ViewStats has the best public thumbnail-history data on the market.
  • Channel analytics depth (views over time, retention proxies)
  • Search any creator and sort by top liked, top viewed, top outlier
  • Useful for channels under 10K subscribers
    ViewStats reportedly thins out at small scale. Eden's outlier scoring works the same regardless of channel size.
  • Save outliers into your own boards or swipe files
  • Writing surface (outline, draft, ship)
  • Auto-research briefs (daily research on your niche, turned into post ideas)
  • Schedule and publish posts
    Eden closes the loop from analytics to published post across eight platforms.
    X, LinkedIn, Threads, IG, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, Substack
  • Run multiple brands or clients from one workspace
    Each brand keeps its own connected accounts and its own queue. Built for creators with more than one brand, and agencies managing clients.

What ViewStats does well

  • MrBeast brand and the deepest public thumbnail A/B test history.
  • Real YouTube analytics layer. Views over time, outlier scores, channel-level depth.
  • Free tier covers the basics for any creator who just wants to look up a channel.
  • Established as the YouTube analytics tool top creators recommend to each other.
The wedge

What Eden does that ViewStats doesn't

  • Outliers across every platform value creators post to, not just YouTube.
  • Works the same whether your channel has 1K or 1M. Outlier scoring isn't gated by analytics depth.
  • A real writing surface. ViewStats ends at the analytics screen. Eden continues into the editor.
  • AI that reads your saved boards. Reverse-engineer why an outlier worked, then write your version with the source open beside the draft.
  • Eden goes all the way to published. Auto-research briefs, scheduling across six platforms, a mobile app, a desktop app, and MCP scheduling from ChatGPT or Claude.
Honest recommendation

Pick the tool that fits the work in front of you.

Pick ViewStats if

If you're a YouTube-first creator with 10K+ subscribers and you want the deepest analytics layer your peers also use, ViewStats is the right tool. The thumbnail history data alone is worth the price.

Pick Eden if

If you post across platforms, or you're early enough that channel analytics aren't the bottleneck, Eden is the workspace that covers both the research and the writing.
