What is Insight Social?
Insight Social is a Chrome extension for scraping public content from several social platforms, not just Reddit. Its free tier gives you 10 runs per month. Pro unlocks more usage on a monthly or yearly subscription billed through their site.
On their public pricing page, Pro starts at about $3.99 per month, which works out to roughly $48 per year if you stay subscribed. Pro includes a built-in AI chat for analyzing scraped content across platforms.
What does Social Scraper+ offer for Reddit?
Social Scraper+ is built for Reddit thread research. Open any post on reddit.com, scrape title, body, subreddit, nested replies, scores, and thread depth, then export to clipboard, AI, CSV, and JSON without leaving the page.
The free tier includes 10 scrapes so you can test on real threads. Social Scraper+ Pro is a one-time $29.00 license (launch offer: 40% off, regular $49.00) for unlimited scrapes on one browser install. No monthly run counter that resets on the first of the month.
How does pricing compare?
Insight Social Pro: about $3.99/month or ~$48/year on subscription. You keep paying to maintain Pro access and run quotas.
Social Scraper+ Pro: $29.00 once. Year two costs $0. Year three costs $0. Over three years, Insight Social is roughly ~$144 at current public pricing; Social Scraper+ stays at $29.00 total for unlimited Reddit scraping on that browser.
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.
Reddit scraping limits and depth
Insight Social Pro includes about 300 runs per month across its supported platforms. That cap applies to all scraping, not Reddit alone. Its strength is breadth across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other networks rather than Reddit-specific thread metadata.
Social Scraper+ Pro has no monthly run cap for Reddit. Every scrape captures nested comment threads, scores, and optional metadata fields you toggle in Settings. If your workflow is AMAs, product feedback threads, or subreddit research, that depth is included from the first export.
Export formats and AI workflows
Insight Social includes CSV and JSON export plus a built-in AI chat to discuss scraped content inside the extension.
Social Scraper+ includes CSV, JSON, plain clipboard text, and a ready-made AI analysis prompt you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any LLM. Clipboard and AI prompt export are included in Pro, not locked behind a higher tier.
Privacy and getting started
Both tools process pages in your browser. Neither requires an account to try the free tier. Scraped data stays local unless you choose to export or copy it.
Social Scraper+ stores history in Chrome storage on your device. No Reddit API keys or developer account is required.
