EyeOut does not monitor YouTube directly
The short answer
EyeOut has no YouTube integration: it cannot read YouTube posts, comments or profiles, and no plan changes that. What it does is scan Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy forums and Apple Podcasts twice an hour for your tracked keywords, score sentiment with AI, and, from Growth, fire a spike alert. A YouTube story reaches you through EyeOut only once it is covered by one of those sources, for instance a news article about it or a Reddit thread discussing it. Plans start at $39 a month billed yearly, self-serve.
We keep this page up because people search for YouTube monitoring, and the honest answer belongs here rather than a vague promise. EyeOut does not have API access to YouTube and does not read its posts, comments or profiles. Building and maintaining a direct integration with every social platform is expensive and, on some platforms, no longer commercially available to a small self-serve tool at $39 a month, so we do not pretend to have it.
What EyeOut actually does: it scans Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy forums and Apple Podcasts twice an hour for the keywords you track, scores each mention for sentiment, and, from Growth, fires an alert when a keyword jumps well above its own 7-day average. If something happening on YouTube gets picked up by a news outlet, discussed on Reddit, or mentioned on a podcast, that mention lands in your feed. If it stays entirely on YouTube and nowhere else, EyeOut will not see it, and we would rather tell you that plainly than sell you a feature we cannot deliver.

Why it works
What your team gets with YouTube monitoring
No YouTube API connection
EyeOut does not read YouTube posts, comments or profiles on any plan. That is a real limit, not a pricing gate.
What actually surfaces a YouTube story
Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and Apple Podcasts, scanned twice an hour, catch a YouTube moment once it spills into one of those places.
Said plainly, not buried
A tool that quietly cannot do something is worse than one that says so. This page exists to say it clearly rather than let the gap surprise you later.
What it handles
Watched, read and flagged twice an hour
EyeOut watches Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and podcasts for your brand, scores each mention for sentiment, rolls it up into a daily digest and share of voice, and alerts you when a real spike begins.
