How it works
Paste a video link
Copy the address of a public video and paste it in the box. No account, no password and no browser extension.
Read the comments free
You see the comment count and the first 500 comments at once. Search them, sort them by likes or date, or keep only the questions.
Export all or get the AI report
Export every comment, replies included if you want them, to CSV or JSON; or let the AI sort them into questions, complaints, buying signals and requests. Big videos run in the background and we email you when they're done.
The AI report
The AI reads up to 5,000 comments and writes down what they say, in plain sentences, with the comments behind every point.

What people keep asking: answer it in the description or the next video.
Complaints

Buying signals
Who asks for a price, a link or where to buy.

Questions
Is it free?
Reading comments is: the count and the first 500 comments of a video, 3 videos a day without an account and 10 with a free one. Exporting every comment (300 points per 1,000 rows) and the AI report (1,000 points) are paid. A new account gets 100 points to try an export.
Do I need to sign in to YouTube or give a password?
No. We read the public comments through YouTube's official API, so you never connect your channel or share a password. Your own account here is only for points and files.
Why does the export have fewer comments than the video shows?
The number under a video also counts comments that YouTube holds for review, hides as spam or removed along with deleted accounts, and those can't be read by anyone. We show both numbers before you pay, and you're only charged for the rows that end up in your file.
Which videos work?
Public and unlisted videos, Shorts and past live streams, as long as their comments are on. Private videos and videos with comments turned off can't be read; the page says so and nothing is charged.
What file do I get?
CSV (UTF-8, opens straight in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers) or JSON with one comment per line. Every row has the comment, author, likes, date and a link back to the comment; replies point to the comment they answer.
How long are files kept?
30 days, then they're deleted. You can delete an export sooner from your account.
Is exporting YouTube comments allowed?
We only read what anyone can see on the video, through the YouTube API Services, under YouTube's Terms of Service. Use what you export the way you'd use a public comment: analysis and research are fine; messaging commenters in bulk is not.
