What is ExportComments?
ExportComments (exportcomments.com) exports comments and metadata from Reddit, YouTube, and other platforms into CSV, Excel, or JSON. You paste a thread URL on their site and download the file.
Their public pricing page lists a free tier with about one export per day and up to 100 results per thread. Paid options include a short Personal pass (about $18 for three days), Premium at about $45/month (up to 50,000 results), and Business at about $199/month for higher volume and team features.
What does Social Scraper+ offer?
Social Scraper+ is a Chrome extension built for Reddit. Open a thread on reddit.com, scrape from the side panel, and export to clipboard, AI, CSV, and JSON without copying URLs to a separate website.
You get 10 free scrapes to test on real threads. Social Scraper+ Pro costs $29.00 once (launch offer: 40% off) for unlimited Reddit scrapes on one browser install, including nested replies, scores, and field toggles in Settings.
How does pricing compare?
ExportComments Premium: about $45/month on their public pricing page, or roughly $540 per year if you export regularly. Personal passes at about $18 per three days add up quickly for weekly research.
Social Scraper+ Pro: $29.00 one-time. Over three years, ExportComments Premium at current public pricing is about $1,620 in subscription fees versus $29.00 total for unlimited Reddit scraping on that browser with Social Scraper+.
Competitor pricing based on public pages at insightsocial.xyz, redditcommentscraper.com, exportcomments.com, and thunderbit.com as of 2026. Their plans and prices may change.
Workflow: web app vs extension on Reddit
ExportComments fits when you collect URLs in a list and batch-export through a website. You leave Reddit, paste each link, pick a format, and download.
Social Scraper+ fits when you research live on Reddit: open a thread, scrape, preview in the panel, and export in one flow. Local scrape history stays in Chrome storage so you can revisit recent threads without re-pasting URLs.
Export formats and Reddit depth
ExportComments supports CSV, Excel, and JSON with comment metadata such as authors, timestamps, and scores on Reddit exports.
Social Scraper+ adds clipboard text and a ready-made AI analysis prompt alongside CSV and JSON. Thread depth, scores, and per-field toggles are included in Pro without tiered export gates.
Free tier limits
ExportComments free tier: about one export per day with up to 100 results per thread on their public plan descriptions.
Social Scraper+ free tier: 10 scrapes total (not one per day), with all export formats available on each scrape. Enough to validate the workflow before upgrading to unlimited Pro.
