Fastest growing tech YouTube channels, October 2026: the top 13 and 10 smaller risers

Between 15 September and 1 November 2026, a window of about seven weeks, the fastest growing tech YouTube channels in Branzly's data were seven that each added about 100,000 subscribers, and five of them did it in the last 30 days. Among smaller tech channels, MTS grew fastest, rising 49% to about 52,900 subscribers.

The biggest names in tech grew slowly in percentage terms. Marques Brownlee and Mrwhosetheboss each added about 100,000, less than 1% of their audiences. Faster growth in percentage terms sits further down the list, among channels with under 2 million subscribers.

The fastest growing tech YouTube channels by subscribers gained

YouTube shows counts above 10 million to the nearest 100,000, so six of the seven channels at the top move only in steps of that size and all show the same gain. Trakin Tech's zero in the last 30 days means its public count of 15.6 million did not change in that time.

Most of the growth came late in the window. 11 of the 13 channels gained more than half of their subscribers in the last 30 days; the exceptions are Trakin Tech and Apna College, which added 30,000 of its 70,000 in that time.

Views tell a different story from subscribers. FactTechz gained about 446 million views in the window, more than any other channel in the table, and none of its recent uploads are long form. Mrwhosetheboss added about 255 million views and Marques Brownlee about 188 million.

Rayakuzaa grew fastest of the 13, at 7.8%, followed by Sandeep Swadia at 5.9% and Tina Huang at 4.6%. All three started the window with well under 2 million subscribers, which is where a gain of 50,000 or more shows up as real percentage growth.

Fastest growing smaller tech channels (20,000 to 1 million subscribers)

Percentage growth is a fairer test for smaller channels. These tech channels finished the window with between 20,000 and 1 million subscribers.

MTS almost grew by half in about seven weeks, from about 35,400 to about 52,900 subscribers. Corey Ganim grew 30% while posting only long-form video.

AI and coding show up in some of the channel names. Julian Ivanov's channel name includes "KI-Automatisierung", German for AI automation, and Marcin AI has AI in its name. Programmieren lernen means "learn programming" in German, and it added about 23,000 subscribers, the third biggest gain in this table.

Most of these channels publish mainly long form. Nine of the ten have a long-form share of 68% or more, and three post nothing but long-form video.

How the tech niche grew overall

Of the 2,749 tech channels in our data with a public subscriber count, 589 showed a measurable change between 15 September and 1 November 2026. 532 gained subscribers and 57 lost them. The median growing channel added 0.68% to its audience.

That fits the wider picture. In our ranking of the fastest growing YouTube channels, technology had the slowest average growth of the nine biggest niches.

How we got these numbers

Branzly records the public subscriber counts of about 474,000 YouTube channels over time. For this article we took the 2,753 channels with a full report in the technology category, kept the 2,749 with a public subscriber count and growth records, and compared each channel's count on 1 November 2026 with its first recorded count since our daily snapshots began on 15 September 2026, and with its count 30 days earlier.

Our category data puts some channels in technology whose uploads are mostly about other subjects, so we removed them from the tables. They include The Diary Of A CEO, which added about 1.5 million, FastGoodCuisine, which added about 200,000, and science or interview shows such as StarTalk, along with several other channels. We also removed brand accounts, a finance show, one channel whose reported gain was larger than its whole audience and one whose view count went backwards. All figures are approximate because of YouTube's rounding.

What to do with this

1. Look up your own tech channel on Branzly and compare your change since mid-September with the channels above.
2. Judge yourself on percentage growth. A gain of 6,400 took Corey Ganim up 30%, while 100,000 moved Mrwhosetheboss by 0.4%.
3. Study the smaller risers, including the AI and coding channels Julian Ivanov, Marcin AI and Programmieren lernen.
4. If you sponsor tech creators, contact the smaller risers before their rates rise. The sponsorship calculator estimates a fair fee from recent views, and the YouTube rankings let you sort tech channels by growth.
