Launch
coverage
is broken

Finding the right YouTube gaming channels for your indie launch means hours of manual searching. Most review keys end up with channels that don't cover games like yours — or don't cover them at all.

  • Hours lost searching for Let's Play channels in your game's genre
  • No way to tell if a channel actually covers games like yours
  • Blasting keys to random creators and getting zero coverage
  • No record of which channels you've already reached out to or rejected
  • Can't discover channels similar to the ones who already love your genre
