Substat turns the comments under your YouTube video into one report: the topics, how many people raise each, and what they actually wrote.
The newest 2,000 comments, free. The report is sent by e-mail.

An early product, in validation. You paste a link to a public YouTube video, we analyse its comments and e-mail you a permanent link to the report. It is free while we test it. Your feedback decides what we build next: write to us in the form at the bottom of this page.
Creators first: the report says what your audience asked for, what they argued about and which moments they cite back at you. Marketers, sponsors and product teams read the same report today. Views for each of those roles are what we are building next.
Analysis of a whole channel, not only single videos. Each report already compares its video with the channel's recent uploads. Next we want to follow the comments from one video to the next: which topics grow, which questions keep coming back, how viewers react to sponsored segments.
Nothing. For now an analysis covers the newest 2,000 comments; if your video has more and you want all of them, write to us and we will raise the limit. There is no price list yet — we want to learn what the report is worth to you first. Tick the self-serve notice in the form to hear about paid plans before anyone else.
Usually the same day. The run itself takes minutes; the link arrives by e-mail.
No. We read public comments through the YouTube Data API and never touch your account or YouTube Analytics. Only the e-mail for the link.
Any public video: a competitor, a channel you are considering as a sponsor, a creator you want to work with. Whole channels are the next step; today you can paste a few videos from one channel.
An analysis reads the newest 2,000 comments under the video; the report, its figures and the map cover that set, and we always say how many of how many. Need all of them? Write to us and we will raise the limit. The demo examples are full analyses of bigger videos — there the map and the list show a sample while the report's figures count every comment.
Paste a video URL. Analysis of the newest 2,000 comments is free.
You get the link by e-mail. No card, no account, no sales call.
