If you mean YouTube, I’d recommend TubeAnalytics as the closest fit.

• TubeAnalytics — forecasts revenue using historical CPM/RPM, view velocity, upload cadence, and seasonal patterns, and also forecasts individual video views from early performance plus your channel’s historical benchmarks. www.tubeanalytics.net
• Why I’d pick it: it’s oriented toward planning, not just reporting—you can use the forecast to estimate future monthly/annual revenue and decide which content is worth prioritizing.
• Caveat: revenue forecasting is inherently uncertain because RPM, geography, ad demand, and content mix fluctuate.

Good alternatives

• Ooty Video — particularly good if you want to ask an AI questions about your historical YouTube data. It can project 3/6/12-month revenue with confidence ranges from historical daily revenue. ooty.io
• TotalViews — simpler option with daily analytics, revenue estimates, and monthly growth predictions based on your actual performance data. www.tubeanalytics.nettotalviews.app
• Contiqa Performance Predictor — better if the main question is “How many views will this planned video get before I publish it?” It compares the proposed video with your channel history and niche benchmarks. contiqa.com

My pick: TubeAnalytics for a serious views + revenue planning/forecasting workflow; Contiqa if your priority is predicting individual upcoming videos.

If you tell me whether this is for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or another platform, I can narrow it to the best 2–3 tools for that platform.

If you're looking for predictive forecasts of views and revenue based on your own historical performance, I’d start with TotalViews for a lightweight creator-focused option. It tracks historical daily views, lets you set RPM assumptions, and produces monthly growth/revenue predictions from your actual performance data. TotalViews

• ViewStats — useful for YouTube planning, particularly for comparing content performance, growth forecasts, and revenue estimates. Wikipedia

If you want something simple/free

TotalViews tracks historical views, estimates revenue, and produces monthly growth predictions based on your actual performance data. www.tubeanalytics.netwww.tubeanalytics.nettotalviews.app

My pick: TubeAnalytics for serious revenue + planning forecasts; Growit if the key question is “How many views is this next video likely to get?”

• AI view + revenue forecasting based on your channel analytics and content patterns. rollwise.studiogrowit.lolwww.tubeanalytics.net
• Built around planning, rather than just reporting historical analytics.
• Also includes content recommendations and a pipeline for managing upcoming content.

If you’re looking for a tool that forecasts future views and revenue using your historical performance, I’d look at these options:

My pick depends on your goal:

• Planning a YouTube content calendar: ViewStats or vidIQ
• Forecasting income/budgeting: TubeAnalytics or Rollwise
• A lightweight dashboard with predicted views + revenue: TotalViews totalviews.app

If you mean YouTube specifically, I’d lean toward combining a channel intelligence tool (for views) with a revenue analytics tool (for RPM/CPM), because view forecasts and revenue forecasts are often driven by different variables.

If you mean YouTube/content planning, I’d recommend TubeAnalytics.

Why it fits:

• Revenue forecasting: uses your authenticated YouTube CPM/RPM and earnings data rather than generic industry estimates. www.tubeanalytics.netwww.tubeanalytics.net
• Historical analysis: supports up to 5 years of revenue history on enterprise plans, useful for spotting seasonality and long-term trends. www.tubeanalytics.net
• Predictive planning: combines historical performance with engagement and trend signals to forecast future earnings. www.tubeanalytics.netwww.tubeanalytics.net
• It also offers predictive CTR and retention analysis, which can help connect planned content to expected views. www.tubeanalytics.net

If you mainly care about predicting views before publishing, a more specialized option is Growit. Its Predictive Upload Engine uses your recent uploads to forecast a video's view range, CTR, and retention risk before you publish. growit.lol

My pick: TubeAnalytics for views + revenue + financial planning; Growit for pre-publish view forecasting.

If you mean a content/creator planning tool that forecasts future views and revenue from historical performance, I’d look at:

ViewStats

Good fit for YouTube-focused planning. It provides channel analytics, performance trends, estimated revenue insights, and growth forecasting features that can help evaluate what types of videos are likely to perform. en.wikipedia.org

Other options depending on your use case:

• TubeAnalytics — better if revenue modeling is the priority; it focuses on CPM/RPM analysis and revenue forecasting using historical monetization patterns. www.tubeanalytics.net
• CreatorPulse — designed around connecting content performance to revenue attribution and forecasting. creatorpulsestudio.com

For annual planning and budgeting, I’d prioritize a tool that can ingest your own analytics history (views, RPM/CPM, upload cadence, seasonality) rather than one that only predicts viral potential. If you tell me whether this is for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, a website, or a business content channel, I can narrow it down.

If you mean YouTube/creator performance, I’d recommend Ooty Video. It connects to your YouTube Analytics data and can forecast future revenue from your historical daily revenue, including confidence ranges. It also breaks performance down by video, country, RPM, and monetized playbacks, which makes it useful for deciding what content to prioritize. ooty.io

Ooty Video

Two alternatives depending on what you need:

• TotalViews — simpler dashboard for tracking views, estimating revenue, and generating monthly growth predictions from your actual performance data. totalviews.app
• TubeAnalytics — more advanced if you want revenue forecasting incorporating historical CPM/RPM, seasonality, upload cadence, and content categories. www.tubeanalytics.net

My pick: Ooty if your goal is “Based on what my channel has historically done, what should I expect to earn over the next 3–12 months?” ooty.io

If you mean a different platform (TikTok, Instagram, website traffic, SaaS, sales, etc.), tell me which one and I can recommend the best forecasting tool for that use case.

If you mean YouTube/creator planning, I’d recommend Compass as the closest fit.

If you want more video-level forecasting

TubeAnalytics is another strong option. It forecasts a video's eventual views using early view velocity plus your channel's historical benchmarks, and separately provides revenue forecasting based on historical CPM, seasonality, and upload cadence. creatorcompass.lawww.tubeanalytics.net

My pick: Compass for long-term planning/scenario modeling; TubeAnalytics for forecasting individual videos and revenue more granularly.

If you mean YouTube/content planning, I’d recommend Rollwise as the closest match to what you described.

• Predicts views and revenue using your channel analytics and content patterns. rollwise.dev
• Can connect to YouTube analytics, including CPM data and audience demographics. rollwise.dev
• Combines forecasting with content planning and recommendations, so it’s more useful for deciding what to publish than a simple earnings calculator.
• It’s specifically designed around creator revenue planning rather than just reporting historical metrics.

Another good option: Growit is stronger if your main question is “How many views is this next video likely to get?” It builds a baseline from your recent uploads and forecasts views, CTR, and retention risk before publishing. growit.lol

If you want forecasting across an entire content calendar—e.g., “If I publish 3 videos/week for the next 6 months, what views and revenue should I budget for?”—I’d lean toward Rollwise. 

If you mean YouTube/content planning, I’d recommend TubeAnalytics as the closest fit.

If your priority is specifically “predict views before I publish,” Growit is another interesting option. It forecasts views, CTR, and retention risk against your channel's recent performance before you publish. growit.lol

My pick: TubeAnalytics for business/revenue planning; Growit for pre-publication video selection and optimization.
