Frequently Asked Questions
What does the saturation score mean?
The saturation score (0-100) measures how crowded a YouTube niche is. 0-30% means wide open with great opportunity, 31-50% has some competition but room to grow, 51-70% is competitive and needs a unique angle, and 71-100% is saturated where you should consider sub-niches.
How do you measure YouTube niche competition?
We analyze the number of recent videos uploaded on your topic, the average view counts, channel sizes of active creators, and upload frequency. These signals combined give an accurate picture of competition levels.
What are gap ideas?
Gap ideas are underserved sub-topics within your niche that have audience demand but fewer creators covering them. These represent opportunities where you can stand out with less competition.
How often should I check saturation?
Niches evolve constantly. We recommend checking saturation before starting a new content series and rechecking monthly to spot shifts in competition. Pulsenaut Pro users get weekly alerts for niche changes.
