  Know if a YouTube hook is strong before you waste 10 minutes watching.
  HookScorer for YouTube adds hook score badges to every video you browse. See instantly whether a hook is strong, average or weak — and find out exactly why. Built for faceless YouTube creators who want to learn from the best content in their niche.
  What it does:
  ⚡ Hook Score Badges — Every YouTube thumbnail gets a colour-coded score badge. Green means strong hook. Yellow means average. Red means weak. Instant signal without clicking anything.
  📊 Full Analysis Sidebar — Click any badge to open a detailed breakdown: hook score, metric-by-metric analysis, what's weak, what to fix, and an AI-rewritten version of the hook that would perform better.
  🧬 Channel DNA Analyzer — Visit any YouTube channel and click "Analyse Channel DNA" to extract the hook formula, title templates, competition gaps and growth strategy from their top 50 videos — directly inside YouTube.
  ✍️ AI Hook Rewrites — See exactly how the hook could be stronger. Every analysis includes an AI-rewritten version you can use as inspiration for your own scripts.
  Who is this for?
  Faceless YouTube creators who want to study what works in their niche. Content researchers. Marketers. Anyone who wants to understand why some videos get millions of views and others get nothing.
  How it works:
  Install the extension → open YouTube → hook scores appear automatically on every video. Click any badge for the full breakdown. Visit a channel page and click "Analyse Channel DNA" for a deep strategic analysis.
  Requires HookScorer Pro
  Hook score analysis and Channel DNA are Pro features. Free users see the badge colour only. Upgrade at hookscorer.com — €19/month, cancel anytime.

  HookScorer adds a powerful analytics layer directly on top of YouTube — no tab switching, no copy-pasting.
  
  HOOK SCORE ON EVERY VIDEO
  Open any YouTube video and HookScorer's panel appears automatically. AI scores the hook 0–100, calculates Views Per Hour, shows a multiplier vs the channel's average, and gives a 7-dimension breakdown (Hook Strength, Curiosity, Emotional Pull, Specificity, Pacing, Niche Fit, Scroll-Stop Power). Pro users get AI rewrites.
  
  VPH BADGES ON EVERY THUMBNAIL
  Visit any channel and every thumbnail gets a Views Per Hour badge plus a multiplier — hot (🔥), average, or underperforming (📉). Spot the viral outlier in one glance.
  
  VIRAL TRACKER
  Click Track on any video and get a desktop notification the moment it goes viral. Hourly velocity checks with trend direction (growing, stable, declining). See the Viral Window — exactly which hour after upload the spike happened.
  
  NICHE TRENDING BOARD
  See the fastest growing videos in your niche right now, directly in the popup. AI surfaces the best video to make and the content gap nobody has covered yet. Supports 18 niches including Mystery, Finance, True Crime, AI/Tech, Self-Improvement and more.
  
  CHANNEL STATS BAR
  Every channel you visit automatically shows monetization status, estimated RPM, monthly views and income range — no clicking required.
  
  CHANNEL DNA ANALYZER
  Reverse-engineer any channel's hook formula and title templates in one click. AI analyzes 50+ videos and gives you steal-ready templates and a growth strategy breakdown.
