YouTube Channel Audit Tool — Check Monetisation Eligibility
Use our free YouTube Channel Audit tool to check whether your channel meets the current YouTube Partner Program (YPP) requirements and identify areas for improvement.
YouTube Partner Program Requirements (2025)
To qualify for the YouTube Partner Program and earn from ads, your channel must meet one of these thresholds:
- Standard YPP: 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months OR 1,000 subscribers + 10 million Shorts views in 90 days.
- Shopping affiliate programme: 10,000 subscribers + 4,000 watch hours or 10M Shorts views.
- Your channel must also comply with YouTube's monetisation policies and have no active community guidelines strikes.
What This Audit Checks
- Subscriber count vs YPP threshold.
- Watch hours over the past 12 months.
- Shorts view count over 90 days.
