How to Check if a YouTube Channel is Monetized
Our YouTube Monetization Checker detects YouTube Partner Program membership by analyzing channel-level indicators, combined with eligibility requirements verification.
YouTube Partner Program Requirements (2025)
- At least 1,000 subscribers

Why Ads Don't Prove Monetization
Since 2020, YouTube places ads on all videos regardless of whether the channel is monetized. Seeing ads on a video does not mean the creator earns revenue from those ads. Our tool uses more reliable indicators that are exclusively available to YouTube Partner Program members.
