Twitch Metrics with Metricool

When you have the metrics, it’s time to get down to work and analyze it all.

And what data do you have? Choose the time period you want to analyze for your competitor at the top of your dashboard. And have a look!

On the List of competitors, you can organize data by the metrics you’re most interested in.

✅ Followers.

Your Twitch competition’s followers. Check out this figure to see how their community is growing.

✅ Videos.

The number of streams they did in the time period you chose. This can be important if their success is tied to the number of live streams they do.

✅ Clips.

Clips are part of a channel’s popularity. Although the streamer can make them, having lots of clips says more about their community of followers and viewers.

✅ Views.

Views are the foundation of the channel’s success. It is a key metric to know how your channel is doing, or your Twitch competition.

More Twitch Statistics

Not enough to really understand your competition? Wait, there’s more!

If you look at the username, there’s a button that says ‘More statistics’.

Click on it to get more detailed information on each streamer:
