What the reviews say

Speeds up basic scraping tasks, but fails on comment completeness, strict limits, high cost, occasional slowdowns, and unreliable support.

What it costs0 praised · 6 complained6outrageously expensive subscription feereplies are hidden behind paywall“DO NOT PURCHASE PREMIUM FOR ACCES FOR THIS TOOL. I paid for premium and it still didn't pull all comments and replies. If you want all comment and replies use "Instagram Comments, Replies and Subscribers Scraper (No Cookie)" by Data Doping. Its the only one that I found that actually worked. Cheers.” — 1/5
Caps and ceilings0 praised · 5 complained5hard 15-comment extraction limit imposedincomplete comment pagination handling“I can only get a few comments per post, when even I specified the exact limit of comments per post. And no I have checked the posts they have hundreds plus comments but I only get 6-7 comments, which is extremely bad. so please fix you this issue.” — 1/5
Setup and docs0 praised · 2 complained2unclear or poor documentationrejects or fails to accept links“Does the job overall, but with some rough edges. Results are usable, though I hit occasional slowdowns and the documentation could be clearer. Decent value - just not outstanding.” — 3/5
Does it return everything0 praised · 2 complained2misses replies and some commentsfails to capture like counts“Unsure why including replies requires a paid account, this is a key feature for me to test with before committing to a paid subscription. This also does not enumerate the likes (who made each like to a comment), just gives a count, which is not helpful for a use case of creating a complete record of a post.” — 2/5
