What the reviews say
Good at exporting hierarchical YouTube comment data and offering a free tier, but its terminology (the meaning of 'cid') is unclear.

supports cid and replyToCid identifiersunclear meaning of 'cid' identifier“Fantastic tool- and for those wondering, it does preserve the hierarchical relationship between "parent" comments and their nested replies. (sidenote: you can just 'reconstruct' comment/reply threads using `cid` and `replyToCid`. Saw that question in a different review.)” — 5/5

exports results as hierarchical JSON filepreserves parent-child comment relationships“I used the (totally) free version to download comments from a YouTube video, this works, I was able to download the results as a JSON file AND a CSV file.
Its rare nowadays that a free trial is actually a free trial but this is.
A brilliant scraper that saved e loads of time.” — 5/5
