Reddit Comment Scraper

Yes. Collecting and reading your results in the dashboard are free and unlimited. Only exporting uses rows, one per comment: the free plan exports 500 rows a month, and Pro exports 10,000 for $9.99 a month ($7.99 a month billed yearly). A row you already exported is free to export again.

Yes. Every reply is its own row and names the comment it answered, plus a Depth number (0 for a top-level comment). You can sort the file back into thread order or rebuild the tree in Excel or Python. Replies are never squashed into one cell.

Yes. Reddit refuses this data to signed-out browsers, so sign in to Reddit in the same Chrome profile first. If you are signed out, the run stops and asks you to sign in. You also need a free InsightSocial account to export. The extension only reads: it never posts, votes or messages.

No. There is no developer app to register and no key to paste. InsightSocial reads Reddit in your own signed-in browser, the same way you would scroll it.

Reddit's comment count includes comments that were deleted or removed, and those no longer exist to export. The run collects every comment Reddit still shows, including the ones behind "load more replies" and "continue this thread".

Usually under a minute. In our tests (Oct 2026), a thread of 424 comments with eight levels of replies took 42 seconds. Very large threads take longer because Reddit hands out replies in batches. You can switch to another tab while it runs.

Yes. Open a subreddit or a Reddit search instead and pick Posts and Comments. One run takes 25, 50 or 100 posts and every comment under each, all in one file. See the Reddit Subreddit Scraper and the Reddit Search Results Scraper.

Yes, from their profile page while you are signed in to Reddit. The run collects their comments, newest first, up to the roughly 1,000 that Reddit lists. See the Reddit User Comments Scraper.

Reddit's Best order, the one a thread opens with. Every comment is collected whatever the order, so sort the file by score or date afterwards to get Top or New.

Each row has a Comment ID, a Parent Comment ID and a Depth. Top-level comments have Depth 0 and a blank Parent Comment ID. For a reply, Parent Comment ID is the Comment ID of the comment it answered, so a lookup (VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP) against the Comment ID column puts each reply next to its parent.

It is unlikely at normal volumes, but no tool can promise it. The extension reads from your own session and never posts, votes or messages. Reddit limits how fast any browser can load pages; when that limit is close, the run waits for it to reset instead of pushing through, so a big run can pause for a few minutes and then carry on by itself.

Yes. Comment text keeps its emoji and formatting. The CSV drops into ChatGPT, Claude or a spreadsheet, and the JSON suits Python. The score on each row lets you weight what the community agreed with. If you publish results, anonymise usernames and follow privacy law such as GDPR and CCPA.
