Is adsense or Youtube analytics more accurate?

So I have been checking my analytics because I posted a click bait trash scum of the earth video for laugh and it seems to be doing a lot better than my analytivs are saying. I have also been feeling the same for a few of my videos.

So I thought I would have a look on adsense to see what is happening.

Youtube analytics says I have 1539 views for the last 28 days
Google adsense says I have 2107 views for the last 28 days

Which one do I believe? It is obviously not about pay as it is still next to nothing, but more for my search results and to stop my channel looking a bit dead on some videos that real time have said I have had a few votes on that never showed up.

If screen shots are needed for proof I can do them but I really can't be arsed so would rather not.
 
I want to believe that youtube analytics are more accurate as those are the already processed views meaning youtube already calculated all unique views wheres adsense haven't.
 
But 600 more on Adsense means it's either faulty or has counted more views? It's confusing me. Small fish in the long run but it's potentially over 33 percent of views just gone into nowhere.
 
I generally find that Adsense is more accurate. I use yt analytics to give me an estimate especially with calculating ad revenue
 
i have never really checked out the difference to be honest, i'll worry about that in 20 years time when i am actually making a few dollars

It wasn't for the dollars it was for SEO and when I approach companies for review copies then I wouldn't even care. 600 more views at my size in 28 days is substantial. Roughly 40 percent on top. That could be the difference between getting a copy or not. I have barely any ads at all on my channel I just knew there was a view counter in there and I need them views.

It changes my average view per video released this month (obviously this stat isn't a true reflection on how my videos actually do as there are historic views too) from 171 up to 234 to make it seem more important.

I am a fool for stats, I obsess over them in all walks of life and this disparity is rather annoying. My videos are bad enough without them displaying the wrong view numbers.
 
lol yeah that makes sense for needing to know exact views. i am all about strategy/analytics, one of my favourite parts of youtube
 
From what I've know Adsense is more accurate due to YouTube analytics being buggy as they always are.
