UTMcraft for YouTubers: Consistent campaign links and honest click counts on your own

Consistent campaign links and honest click counts on your own domain.

YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.

The tool this job usually means renting is UTM.io, at $29/mo — roughly $348 a year, every year. UTMcraft does the job for a one-time $19 — running on infrastructure you control.

Fit check

Why it fits how youtubers work

🔗 Builder with autocomplete

Source, medium, campaign, term and content fields suggest from your own history with a live URL preview as you type.

For youtubers, builder with autocomplete pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.

🧹 Auto-normalization

Every value is lowercased with spaces turned to underscores, so Email, email and E-mail can never split your analytics again.

For youtubers, auto-normalization pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.

🔒 Naming-convention enforcer

Optionally lock utm_source and utm_medium to team-approved lists, with off-list values rejected with a helpful error.

For youtubers, naming-convention enforcer pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
