Pricing-intent searches bounce when they hit a generic homepage. This page answers 'is it worth it' with the actual cost drivers: item count, replies, likes, and platform multipliers — then points to live CommentHunter pricing.
Cost ≈ exported items × platform multiplier. YouTube is typically 1× per comment. TikTok and Instagram are 2×. Facebook is 3×. Replies count as items. Export Likes is optional and can dwarf comment count on viral posts. Always cap the limit before you run.
Account bans, missed replies, analyst hours, and a contest drawn from an incomplete list. Credits are visible; those are not.
TikTok uses a 2× multiplier, so 500 comments are 1,000 credits if you export only top-level comments. Replies add more.
CommentHunter includes starter credits. Manual copy-paste is free and inaccurate. Extensions are 'free' until they miss data.
