CORTIS Live Subscriber Count
CORTIS's subscriber total is published by YouTube rounded down to three significant figures, so the figure on the channel page can sit unchanged for weeks. This counter starts from the last reading, adds an estimated growth rate for CORTIS and re-estimates every five seconds, so you see roughly where the channel stands right now.

About YouTube Subscriber Counter
A live subscriber count is a YouTube channel's subscriber total refreshed continuously instead of once per page load. This page does two things at once: it reads the figure YouTube publishes for a channel, and it fills the gap between refreshes with an estimated growth rate, so the odometer keeps moving the way the real audience does. The published figure is not the raw total. Since September 2019 the YouTube Data API rounds every subscriber count above 1,000 down to three significant figures: 942 stays 942, 12,345 becomes 12,300, and 21,234,567 becomes 21,200,000.
YouTube's own channel pages show the same abbreviated value. That is why no public counter can be accurate to the digit for a large channel, and why two counters can differ by thousands while both sit inside the same bracket. The table on this page shows how wide that bracket is at each size. What is genuinely live here is the pace. The counter re-checks the published statistics every two minutes, this site refreshes its own copy from YouTube's Data API at most once every five minutes, and that estimated rate is applied every five seconds in between as subscribers per second, per minute and per hour.
The rate itself is an estimate rather than a measurement: between two rounding steps YouTube publishes nothing new to measure, so the counter falls back on the channel's lifetime average adjusted for its upload pace, its views per subscriber and its size. The line under the counter shows how old the last real reading is: on a channel nobody has looked up for a while it can be days or weeks old, and everything after it is extrapolation. Those rate figures are still the useful part, because they say whether a channel is accelerating after an upload or coasting, which a rounded total never reveals.
You can track any public channel by name, by @handle or by UC… channel ID. The address bar follows along, /live-sub-count/mrbeast/, so a counter can be bookmarked, shared or left running on a second screen for a milestone. Streamers get a browser source URL that loads the counter alone, without the site around it, ready to paste into OBS Studio, Streamlabs or vMix. For your own channel the exact, unrounded number lives in YouTube Studio: open Analytics, find the Realtime card on the Overview tab and click See live count, which plots that total over time.
Use Studio when you need the precise total, and this page when you want to watch the movement, compare two channels or put a count on screen.
Use Cases
How to use
Type a channel name, @handle or UC… channel ID in the box above the counter.
Press Track; the page loads that channel's subscribers, videos and total views.
Watch the odometer: it estimates every 5 seconds and re-checks the published figure every 2 minutes.
Read the per-second, per-minute and per-hour boxes to see how fast the channel is really growing.
Copy the OBS browser source URL if you want the counter on a stream or on your own site.
Pro Tips
- Paste the @handle rather than the display name; handles are unique, so you never land on a copycat channel.
- The per-second figure is an estimate, not a heartbeat: read it as an order of magnitude, and compare per-hour figures between two channels rather than trusting the last digit.
- In OBS, tick "Shutdown source when not visible" so the overlay stops polling when you switch scenes.
- Under 1,000 subscribers YouTube publishes the exact number, so the only error on a small channel is whatever the counter adds after the last reading — the line under the counter tells you how long ago that was.
- Bookmark the /live-sub-count/channel-name/ address; it updates as you track a new channel and reopens on that counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Type the channel's name, @handle or UC… channel ID into the box above the counter and press Track. The page loads that channel's public statistics and starts animating. Nothing is installed and no login is needed, and the channel does not have to be yours. The address becomes /live-sub-count/channel-name/, so you can bookmark or share that exact counter.
It is exact only below 1,000 subscribers. Above that, YouTube's Data API rounds every count down to three significant figures, so 21,234,567 arrives as 21,200,000. The counter then estimates forward from that rounded figure at an estimated growth rate. How far it drifts depends on how old the last reading is: the line under the counter gives its age, and the confidence pill drops to medium and then to low once the estimate has moved more than one rounding step past the published figure.
The page re-checks the statistics every 2 minutes and moves the odometer every 5 seconds in between, using the estimated growth rate. Those checks read this site's copy of the figures, which is refreshed from YouTube's Data API at most once every 5 minutes, and YouTube itself publishes a new value only when the channel crosses the next rounding step. Most of the movement on screen is therefore the estimate, not a new reading.
YouTube regularly removes closed, spam and bot accounts, and each sweep subtracts those subscriptions from every channel they touched; ordinary unsubscribes add to it. Rounding hides the small losses: a 1.23M channel can lose 9,000 subscribers and still read 1.23M, then appear to fall 10,000 at once when it crosses the boundary.
There is no app to install. Open /live-sub-count/channel-name/ in Chrome or Safari and add it to your home screen: the address carries the channel, so it reopens on the same counter. Keep the tab in the foreground, because mobile browsers freeze background timers and the odometer stops estimating. For your own channel, the YouTube Studio app shows the exact figure under Analytics, Realtime.
Yes. Copy the browser source URL from the OBS section on this page, add a Browser source in OBS Studio, paste it and set the size to 800 x 450. The URL carries the channel you are tracking, so the overlay shows that channel and not a default one. Enable "Shutdown source when not visible" to stop it polling between scenes.
Open /live-sub-count/mrbeast/ and the counter loads it. YouTube publishes his total rounded down to three significant figures, so the trailing digits are always zeros and the exact number is never public. This page starts from that published value and estimates forward at its estimated growth rate for the channel. Read the per-second and per-hour boxes for the pace, and the line under the counter for how old the last real reading is.
Yes, for your own channel. In YouTube Studio open Analytics, find the Realtime card and click See live count: it shows the unrounded subscriber total to the exact digit, plotted over time. That is the only official place with the exact figure. Public tools, this one included, only see the rounded number YouTube publishes through its API.
Open each channel in its own browser tab, /live-sub-count/mrbeast/ and /live-sub-count/t-series/, and place the tabs side by side. Each tab keeps its own growth rate and its own odometer. To call a race, compare the per-hour figures rather than the totals: they show who is actually closing the gap.
Yes: no account, no channel limit and nothing to install. The page only reads the public statistics YouTube exposes through its Data API, so it never asks for access to your channel, and the OBS overlay URL is free to use on a stream as well. If a channel has hidden its subscriber count in YouTube's settings, no public counter, this one included, can display it.
