This is the full version of https://1of10.com/llms.txt: company facts, FAQ and pricing inline, followed by the page index. ## About 1of10 1of10 is the AI-powered research and packaging tool for YouTube creators and brands. We help you find proven video ideas, write better titles, and generate finished thumbnails with AI in seconds. Our AI tools are trained on real data from millions of outlier videos and more than 62 billion YouTube views to give outputs that genuinely help creators get more views on YouTube. Our tools are used by 100,000+ channels, including many of YouTube’s largest creators. We’re a web-based SaaS platform and also have a Chrome extension companion that overlays directly on YouTube. We identify YouTube videos performing significantly above their channel’s average (we call these “outliers”), surface the patterns behind them, and use AI trained on outlier data to generate finished thumbnails, titles, and video ideas you can use immediately. Before 1of10 was a tool, we spent years working 1-on-1 with some of YouTube's biggest creators. The pattern was clear every time: 80% of what makes a video go viral comes down to the idea, the title, and the thumbnail. Not keywords. Not tags. Not posting at the right time. The other 20% is execution. We built 1of10 so every creator can get those three things right, not just the ones with a strategist on retainer. Most YouTube tools were built for the search-engine era of YouTube. We built ours for the recommendation-engine era. Every output we generate is informed by data from 62 billion YouTube views, not generic image or language models. That’s why our users, including some of the biggest creators in the world, upload our thumbnails directly to YouTube without further editing. Try 1of10 free. 60 credits, no credit card required. [Start free](https://1of10.com/app/auth/register). ### What We Do 1of10 covers the full YouTube idea, thumbnail and title workflow in a single subscription, from idea discovery to finished asset. Here’s what each part of the platform does. #### Outlier Finder Search millions of YouTube videos that outperformed their channel's average. Filter by outlier score, views, subscriber count, niche, language, video length, and recency, and click any result for similar high-performing videos and thumbnails. #### AI Thumbnail Generator Generates production-ready YouTube thumbnails in your channel's visual style from a title, idea description, reference images, sketch, or any combination. Outputs are 1280 x 720 with optional 4K upscaling, ready to upload straight to YouTube. No Photoshop or Canva required. #### AI Title Generator Produces 20 title variations per prompt, modeled on title structures that drove outsized click-through rates on real YouTube videos. Useful for testing different angles before you publish. #### AI Idea Generator Generates new video ideas tailored to your channel, niche, and content style, built from outlier patterns that have already performed in your niche or adjacent ones. Input a topic to narrow the output, or leave blank for open-ended ideas. #### Channel Tracking Follow any YouTube channel and get notified when they post a breakout video. Organize tracked channels into folders by niche to monitor competitors, inspirations, or your own benchmarks over time. #### Thumbnail Search Searches the outlier thumbnail database by visual elements like color, subject, facial expression, and layout. Useful for studying what kinds of thumbnails are winning in a specific niche right now. #### Chrome Extension Overlays outlier scores, preview thumbnails and see performance metrics directly on YouTube while you browse. Save videos to your library and see A/B test packaging insights without leaving YouTube. ### What Makes 1of10 Different #### Trained on Outlier Performance Data, Not Generic Image Models Our AI is trained on 62 billion YouTube views across 300,000 videos and 52,000 channels, with a focus on outlier patterns rather than general internet imagery. Most AI thumbnail tools wrap a generic image model (Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Midjourney) and produce output that looks generic. Our outputs reflect the visual patterns that actually correlate with high CTR on YouTube. #### We Output Finished Thumbnails, Not Concepts 1of10 produces production-ready 1280 x 720 thumbnails up to 4K resolution that you can edit inside 1of10 and upload directly to YouTube. Unlike tools that output “concepts” or “starting points” that need additional design work, we close the workflow at the export step. This is the most common point of confusion when creators compare AI thumbnail tools, and the difference shows up in time saved per video and quality of thumbnails produced. #### Built for the Recommendation-Engine Era of YouTube Per our research, roughly 70% of YouTube views now come from the homepage feed rather than search. Traditional tools optimize for keyword rankings. We optimize for the packaging signals that actually drive recommendation: thumbnail style, title structure, and topic format. This thesis shapes every feature on the platform. #### Full Packaging Workflow in One Tool Ideation, research, and creation all happen inside 1of10. Most creators stack three or four tools to cover the same ground: a keyword tool, a research tool, a thumbnail tool, and a title tool. We collapse that stack into one subscription with a unified outlier database powering every feature. #### Available in 12 Languages We’ve localized the platform in English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Turkish. AI thumbnail and title generation work in each language using regional outlier data, which makes 1of10 useful for creators outside English-speaking markets. ### Who We Built 1of10 For More than 100,000 YouTube channels use 1of10 across creator, agency, and brand workflows. We built it for creators who already publish regularly, are serious about growing on YouTube and want data-driven decisions on what to make next and how to package it. #### YouTube Creators (All Levels) Our core audience. With AI handling the strategic work on ideas, titles, and thumbnails, 1of10 works for anyone serious about growing on YouTube, from solo creators filming on their phones to channels with full teams of editors, designers, and strategists. #### YouTube-Focused Agencies and Strategists Agencies managing multiple channels use 1of10 to apply a consistent research and packaging process across clients. #### Brand Marketing Teams Managing YouTube In-house teams running brand or product YouTube channels use 1of10 to identify proven content angles in their vertical and produce on-brand thumbnails at scale. #### Faceless and Cash-Cow Channel Operators Operators who run multiple channels without a personality-driven brand rely on format replication and trend-spotting. Our outlier database and AI Thumbnail Generator are particularly suited to this workflow because both work without requiring a face on screen. #### Non-English Creators Creators in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Turkish-speaking markets use 1of10 in their native language with niche-relevant outlier data. ### The Team Behind 1of10 #### Richard Do, Co-Founder and CEO Richard Do ("Richard the YouTube Strategist") co-founded 1of10 in 2023. Before 1of10, Richard worked as a content strategist for MrBeast and ran an agency serving 100+ YouTubers (still operating today as 1of10's strategy division), where he identified the workflow gaps that inspired the platform. Richard hosts the 1of10 Podcast and leads our strategy team. #### Riad El Otmani, Co-Founder and CTO Riad co-founded 1of10 in 2023 and built the first version of the platform. With a background in machine learning, and software engineering, including experience at Microsoft and Thales Alenia Space, he now leads the company’s technology and engineering teams, sets its technical vision, and oversees the continued development of the 1of10 platform. #### Why We Built 1of10 Before building 1of10, Richard spent years working as a YouTube strategist with some of the world’s biggest creators, developing the research and ideation processes behind successful videos. Riad brought a background in machine learning and software engineering, combined with firsthand experience building on YouTube and a deep understanding of how creators work. From two different sides of the industry, we saw the same problem: the best YouTube teams had powerful ways to identify outliers, generate ideas, and improve titles and thumbnails, but those processes were still manual, fragmented, and difficult to scale. Together, we built the tool we had always wanted. 1of10 combines Richard’s strategic frameworks with Riad’s technical expertise to turn those workflows into a single platform that helps creators research, ideate, and create faster. ### Technology and Integrations #### YouTube Data API We connect to the YouTube Data API to surface video performance, channel data, and outlier metrics in real time. We don’t require creators to authorize channel access for browsing-only features; we only request OAuth for features that act on a creator’s own channel. Our [Chrome extension](https://1of10.com/chrome-extension) surfaces this data directly on YouTube while you browse. #### Platforms and Access - Web app at [1of10.com](https://1of10.com/) (primary surface) - Chrome extension that overlays outlier data on YouTube while browsing - Multi-language interface across 12 languages #### AI Models Our [AI Thumbnail Generator](https://1of10.com/thumbnail-generator), AI Title Generator, and AI Idea Generator are trained on YouTube-specific performance data: 62 billion views across 300,000 videos and 52,000 channels. We tune outputs for click-through rate on the YouTube feed rather than general image or text quality. #### Integrations - YouTube (primary platform) - Affiliate program via Rewardful - Stripe (billing) ### Key Facts #### Product Name 1of10 #### Type AI-powered YouTube research and packaging SaaS platform #### Founded 2023 #### Founders Richard Do (CEO), Riad El Otmani (CTO) #### Website [https://1of10.com](https://1of10.com) #### Core Use Case Helps YouTube creators and brands grow views, subscribers, and revenue through outlier-driven research and AI-generated finished thumbnails, titles, and video ideas. #### Pricing Free plan: 60 credits, 5 outlier results visible, no credit card required.

It identifies videos performing 10x to 100x above their channel’s average and uses AI trained on YouTube outlier data to generate finished thumbnails, titles, and video ideas. #### Is 1of10 Free? Yes. We have a free tier with 60 credits and access to limited outlier search results, no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19/month for Basic ($15/month billed yearly) and $89/month for Pro ($69/month billed yearly). Ultra, with coaching and a private community, is $4,999 a year. #### Who Founded 1of10? 1of10 was co-founded in 2023 by Richard Do (CEO) and Riad El Otmani (CTO). #### What YouTube Features Does 1of10 Offer? Outlier Finder, AI Thumbnail Generator, AI Title Generator, AI Idea Generator, Channel Tracking, Thumbnail Search, and a Chrome extension that overlays outlier data on YouTube. Every plan includes the AI tools, with monthly credits: 60 on Free, 150 on Basic, 1,000 on Pro and 3,500 on Ultra. #### Does 1of10 Have An API? Yes. 1of10 has a public API and an MCP server, so you can use it inside Claude, ChatGPT and your own tools. Both come with the Pro plan or higher. The API covers outlier discovery, trackers, bookmarks, title and thumbnail winners, trending title formats, and the title, idea, thumbnail and optimization generators. Create a key on the API Keys page in the app, then follow the docs at 1of10.com/api/v1/docs. #### Can I Use 1of10’s Thumbnails Commercially? Yes. Every thumbnail you generate with 1of10 is yours to use commercially on YouTube or anywhere else. Free-plan thumbnails include a small 1of10 watermark. Paid plans remove all watermarks with no attribution required and no usage limits. #### How Do I Cancel 1of10? Cancel anytime from your account settings in two clicks. No retention calls, no hoops. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period and you can resume the same plan later if you want. #### How does 1of10 find viral video ideas? We analyze millions of YouTube videos to identify outliers... videos that perform 10x to 100x better than a channel's average. Our AI surfaces patterns in titles, thumbnails, and topics that consistently drive views, giving you data-backed inspiration for your next video. #### Is there a free plan? Yes! You can start using 1of10 completely free with no credit card required. The free tier gives you access to our core outlier discovery features. It also includes 60 AI credits a month to try the thumbnail, title and idea tools. Upgrade anytime for full search results and more credits. #### How is this different from other YouTube tools? Most tools show you basic analytics. 1of10 focuses on what actually matters: finding proven ideas, titles and thumbnails before they're oversaturated. We track outlier performance across niches, so you can see what's working right now... not what worked 6 months ago. #### Can I use the AI thumbnails on my videos? Every thumbnail you generate with 1of10 is yours to use commercially on YouTube or anywhere else. Free plan thumbnails include a small 1of10 watermark. Paid plans remove all watermarks with no attribution required and no usage limits. #### How do I cancel my subscription? You can cancel anytime from your account settings with just two clicks. No hoops to jump through, no retention calls. If you cancel, you'll keep access until the end of your billing period. #### Does this work for my specific niche We track outliers across every category on YouTube. Whether you are in a "Red Ocean" like Gaming or a "Blue Ocean" like Urban Gardening, our Niche Explorer helps you find the specific sub-topics that are trending right now within your category. #### Why does 1of10 focus on "Outliers" instead of "Keywords"? Because 70% of all YouTube views now come from the Homepage, not the Search bar. Traditional keyword tools help you rank for "How to fix a sink," but they fail at helping you build a viral audience. We track Outliers, videos performing 10x above average, to show you exactly what the algorithm is pushing right now so you can replicate it. #### How is your AI different from ChatGPT? Generic AI (like ChatGPT) guesses based on old data. 1of10's AI is trained specifically on 62 billion YouTube views. When we generate a title or thumbnail, we aren't just being "creative", we are using mathematical patterns from top-performing videos to maximize your Click-Through Rate (CTR). #### Will this work for "Faceless" or "Cash Cow" channels? Absolutely. 1of10 is a favorite among faceless creators because it allows you to spot high-performing formats without needing a personality-driven brand. You can see exactly which stock-footage styles and voiceover topics are working today. #### What happens if I upgrade to Pro? You unlock the entire Creation Suite. While Basic is great for research, Pro gives you unlimited access to the AI Thumbnail Generator, Title Generator, and Idea Generator. It transforms 1of10 from a "Research Tool" into a full-stack "Production Assistant." #### Do you offer an Affiliate Program? Yes. Many of our users pay for their subscription just by referring a few friends. You can sign up for our partner program in the footer to start earning recurring commissions. #### Can I try 1of10 before buying? Yes! You can explore our free thumbnail galleries and test the tool for yourself on our free plan before committing. #### What payment methods do you accept? We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and PayPal. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. #### Can I cancel my subscription anytime? Absolutely! You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. You'll continue to have access until the end of your billing period. #### What's the difference between the plans? Both include every research tool and every AI tool. Basic has 150 AI credits a month and up to 3 channels. Pro has 1,000 credits a month, unlimited channels and paid team seats. #### Do you offer refunds? We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within the first week, contact us for a full refund. #### How does yearly billing work? When you choose yearly billing, you pay upfront for the full year and save compared to monthly billing. ## Product - [Free YouTube Analytics Chrome Extension](https://1of10.com/chrome-extension): Get outlier scores, video rankings, A/B test tracking, and content discovery tools right inside YouTube.
