How to Use the YouTube Monetization Checker to Check Your Monetization Status in 2025

➤ A YouTube channel monetization checker is very helpful when you want to:

• Look at how your competitors make money
• Check to see if a new business partner is making money.

Find out if monetization has an effect on how engaged viewers are.

Popular Tools to Try:

• YTMonetizationChecker.com – quickly checks monetization, subscriber count, and video stats.
• IsThisChannelMonetized.com – checks to see if a channel is making money and if there are ads on it.
• Hamphy – is known for showing claims of copyright and monetization.
• Monetize-Checker.com – A full-featured tool for figuring out how much money you could make and how many ads you could show.

Note: These tools may not always be 100% accurate because YouTube took away some metadata indicators in late 2023. But they are still good places to start.

• Ads before, during, or after a video usually mean that the video is making money. If there is a "Join" button next to the "Subscribe" button on the channel, it is part of the YPP.
• If you see the options for Super Thanks or Memberships, monetization is on.

You should know that YouTube might show ads on videos that don't make money because of copyright claims or changes to its policies. In these cases, the creator does not make money.

• Have 1,000 people who follow you
• Get 4,000 public watch hours in the last year, or
• Get 10 million views on your public Shorts in the last 90 days.
• Follow all of YouTube's rules for making money
• Turn on 2-Step Verification
• Connect a working AdSense account

Not only do numbers matter for eligibility, but so do original content and compliance.

• Content that is both original and good for advertisers
• No videos that have been used before or are the same as other videos
• A lot of people are involved (likes, comments, watch time)
• You must live in a country that is eligible for YPP (see the full list here).

If you don't meet any of these requirements, you might not be able to make money through your channel.

• Estimated income
• Metrics for ad performance
• Check the status of the policy in the monetization tab.
• Data on public watch hours and subscribers
