Creator Rankings by real quality — not subscriber count
CQS™ measures every creator against their own category's engagement distribution, comment authenticity, and upload consistency. Subscriber count is deliberately excluded — it is the vanity metric that wastes brand budgets. BRS™ flags creators who will burn your money.
The credit-rating agency for India's creators.

CQS™ Creator Quality Score · 0–100 · higher is better
This page publishes creators our risk screen returned as SAFE or CAUTION only. Creators who did not pass are simply not listed. Absence from this list is not an accusation, and we make none. The full risk band, including HIGH RISK and DO NOT BUY, appears in commissioned reports.
CQS™ (Creator Quality Score) and BRS™ (Brand Risk Score) are VidChart's proprietary editorial scores. They are not YouTube metrics and are not derived from, endorsed by, or affiliated with the YouTube Data API or Google LLC. All underlying raw data (views, likes, comments, subscriber counts) is sourced directly from the YouTube Data API v3 and belongs to YouTube.
"Interacting audience" = subscribers × the observed like-and-comment rate on recent videos. It measures observable interaction only. Most genuine viewers watch without pressing any button, so a low interaction rate is not evidence of fraud or purchased subscribers. It is, however, the only audience-aliveness signal available in public data — and it is computed identically for every creator, which makes them comparable. VidChart reports the record. We do not render verdicts on any creator's integrity.
Creator rankings — common questions
Who are the most trusted creators in India?+
Our rankings score Indian creators by real audience quality — engagement, authenticity, and consistency — not by follower count. The result is a list of the creators brands can most trust, updated from live data and free to view with no login.
How are these influencer rankings calculated?+
Each creator gets an independent quality score based on how much of their audience genuinely interacts, measured identically across everyone so they're directly comparable. We rank on real engagement, not vanity metrics — and our method is published openly.
Can creators pay to rank higher?+
No. These are independent rankings with zero paid placements. We take no commission and no creator can buy a position. That independence is exactly why the ranking can be trusted.
