YouTube shows the retention dip.
We read the why, second by second.
Your analytics show viewers left at 2:15. They don't tell you why, or whether your payoff arrived too late. Amplify reads the spikes and dips timestamp by timestamp and hands you a ranked fix per moment.

Got questions?
How long does the analysis take?
Most Amplify Plans are ready in 15-20 minutes. You'll receive an email the moment it's ready.
Do you need access to my YouTube account?
No, it's not required. Just paste any public video URL and we'll analyze it. Want deeper insights? Connect your YouTube account to correlate your actual retention data with our recommendations. Checking unlisted videos and testing drafts before they go public are Solo Creator features.
Can I test a video before I publish it?
Yes, on the Solo Creator plan. Two pre-flight features let you fix problems before launch:
✦ Check unlisted videos before publishing. Run the analysis on an unlisted upload, so you can rework your title, thumbnail, or hook before it ever goes public.
✦ Upload and test drafts. Upload a video that is not on YouTube yet and test its packaging before you commit to it.
Both come with a Solo Creator subscription at $35 a month.
Can't I just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can help, but it gives generic tips drawn from the average of the internet. Amplify reads your specific video (the spikes, the dips, whether your payoff landed) and ties every fix to a timestamp. AI as a spotter, not a scoreboard; you decide what to change.
How is this different from YouTube Analytics?
YouTube Analytics shows you what happened: views, retention, etc. We show you why it happened and what to change. Specific recommendations, not just data.
How is this different from hiring a YouTube coach?
Coaches charge $200-500+ per session for a single video, take days to schedule, and often skim your content. We analyze every second and start at $15, or cover every upload with Solo Creator at $35/month for 10 Pulse reports.
Is $15 really worth it?
If one recommendation improves your CTR or retention by even 5%, that compounds across every future viewer. Most creators find a single insight pays for itself many times over.
What is a Pulse report?
A $3.99 check of your title, thumbnail, and first 30 seconds. It scores packaging/hook alignment, flags friction with timestamps, and gives you 3 titles you can paste straight into YouTube Studio plus 3 thumbnail concepts to build your test around. Ready in about 5 minutes, no account required.
When should I run Pulse vs Amplify?
Run Pulse right at publish, when your packaging is still adjustable. Run Amplify about a week later, when retention data is meaningful and you want a deep, second-by-second audit of the whole video.
Ready to stop guessing?
Your last upload already showed you where viewers dropped. Amplify tells you why, before you cut the next one.
