Users can “Search by keyword, author, likes, replies, or metadata before exporting only the comments you need.” The subscription also includes full REST API access and “n8n and custom script integrations” for automated workflows.
The site says customers report handling 3,000 videos with 750,000 comments under 30 minutes. It also claims “no queue and even 5000 comments per 1 minute,” displays “100% positive reviews,” and reports “38,139+ more happy users.”

Where it sits in the data
YouTube Comment Downloader's $1.9K in the last 30 days is higher than 82% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Social Media” category (541 projects) it is higher than 81% (category median $152). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, the buyer would be a creator, marketer, researcher, agency, analyst, or social listening team that needs searchable YouTube comments for analysis or automation. Distribution could come through search, educational content, communities, integrations, or direct outreach to those professional groups.
The hard parts would include platform access, dependable extraction, API stability, changing interfaces, permissions, and support for inconsistent comment structures. A builder would also need to monitor platform rules and terms, address privacy concerns, and maintain exports and integrations as user workflows change.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
My view is that the product combines selective comment search, preserved relationships, structured exports, and API access in one focused workflow. The $79/month subscription packages those capabilities for creators, marketers, researchers, agencies, analysts, and social listening teams.
