@ABSTARYAAR Competitors: 5 Similar YouTube Channels Compared in 2026

Gaming stick reviews is a pretty narrow shelf — handheld emulation devices, retro consoles, the Indian budget end. 237 videos in shows commitment to one format. The competitor set scraped here is wider than that — it picks up other Indian creators and review-adjacent channels rather than a perfect gaming-stick cohort. Worth being upfront about that before going competitor by competitor.

@imsayanroy (23,100 subs, 228 videos) is the most direct overlap in this set. He's a reviewer too, just on the software and affiliate side, and runs the channel as a full-time operation. Different product category, but the same monetization rails — review, affiliate link, audience that's there to make a purchase decision. The video count parity is the tell: 228 vs ABSTARYAAR's 237 suggests they came up around the same time and post at a similar cadence. If you watch ABSTARYAAR to study how Indian review creators structure videos, Sayan's channel is the natural sibling. Follow him if review craft and affiliate funnels are what you're scouting.

@SandhyaGorakhpuriya1 has the biggest sub count of the bunch at 31,600 — but it took 7,100 videos to get there. That's an enormous shorts/dance/comedy output; volume strategy, not depth strategy. ABSTARYAAR puts out 237 deep-format unboxings and reviews. These two are basically the opposite ends of how an Indian creator reaches the 20-30K range: depth plus niche vs. flood plus broad appeal. Not a competitor in the content sense at all. Follow her if you want to study shorts pacing and high-frequency posting; follow ABSTARYAAR if you care about long-form review craft.

@BenLovegrove (26,600 subs, 750 videos, United Kingdom) is the outlier in this scrape — aviation career guidance, a completely different audience. Why does he land in a similar-channel set for an Indian gaming-stick reviewer? Probably because the algorithm is grouping on a softer signal like "small-to-mid English-language educational/review creator" rather than topic. Not actionable as a competitor. The one thing worth borrowing from his channel is the description treatment — he tells you exactly who the channel is for in the first line. ABSTARYAAR's description does the same thing, just a little less crisply. Small thing, but it matters for that first-impression scroll.

@dgikaos (12,600 subs, 152 videos, United States) is in the AI tools and creator support lane. Different market, different audience. The interesting tell here is the videos-to-subs math — 152 videos for 12,600 subs is roughly 83 subs per video, while ABSTARYAAR is at about 80 subs per video. Coincidence, probably, but it's the kind of mid-tier creator arithmetic that suggests both channels are doing okay-not-great with each individual upload. The growth pattern is more similar than the topic, which is genuinely useful context if you're benchmarking efficiency rather than audience size.

@Bgyanfacts is the smallest of the set — 9,920 subs across 143 videos, India, a shorts-format facts channel. About half ABSTARYAAR's audience. Why it lands as a "similar channel" is murky; probably the India plus Hindi-language signal more than anything else. As a competitor scout, this one's noise. As a watch-along recommendation, also not a fit — different format, different intent (general curiosity vs. pre-purchase research). Worth skipping unless you're studying the broader Indian shorts ecosystem.

If you watch ABSTARYAAR for the gaming-stick angle specifically, the honest answer is that the closest match in this set is @imsayanroy for review craft and monetization, and nothing else here scratches the same itch. The broader Indian gaming-hardware reviewer pool isn't well represented in this scrape, which is itself a useful data point — it suggests ABSTARYAAR's niche is narrow enough that the algorithm doesn't have great direct matches to offer. That's a competitive moat, sort of. Also a discoverability problem.
