YouTube live sub count
Track the public subscriber count of up to eight channels side by side, refreshing every thirty seconds — useful when two channels are racing to a milestone.
Why the number moves in jumps
YouTube rounds public subscriber counts: below 1,000 you see the exact figure, then it rounds to three significant figures. A channel at 1.23M can gain thousands of subscribers before the public number ticks over, which is why a live counter sits still and then jumps.
What counts as live
Nothing here is a stream from YouTube. The board re-reads the public statistics every thirty seconds and shows the difference since the previous read, so a change appears as soon as YouTube publishes it.
Exact numbers
Only the channel owner sees unrounded counts, in YouTube Studio. Any site promising exact public numbers for someone else's channel is estimating.
Move the number, don’t just watch it
PostLink analyses the comments on a channel’s videos and surfaces what that audience keeps asking for — the videos and titles most likely to break out and grow the count.

Are these exact subscriber counts?
No. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts. This tool tracks the public count, not the creator-studio total.
Can I use this as an OBS overlay?
Yes. Open the tool in a browser source or capture the tab in OBS to show a live-updating subscriber board.
Why does a channel show no results?
Some channels hide subscriber counts, and some names are harder to resolve. Use an @handle or full channel URL for the best result.
