See what a YouTube video's comments are really saying
A free YouTube comment analyzer. Paste a video URL and see the top commenters, the keywords the discussion keeps repeating, and the most-liked comments, computed from up to 100 real comments. No login, no scrolling the comment section by hand.
Searching 44 platforms in parallel
Three steps, zero learning curve
Paste a URL, hit run, get structured data. That's the whole workflow.
- 01
How do I analyze YouTube comments?
Paste a YouTube video URL and run it. We pull up to 100 of the video's top comments and break them into the most-liked comments, a keyword frequency ranking, and the most active commenters, all from the real comment data.
- 02
How are the keywords found?
By word frequency over the comment text, not an AI guess. We strip common filler words, then rank the words and phrases that appear across the most comments, counting each once per comment so a single long rant can't skew the list.
- 03
Which comments count as top comments?
The tool requests the video's top comments (YouTube's own engagement ordering) and ranks them by like count, so the comments people actually upvoted lead the list.
