# How to analyze a competitor's comments

https://aicommentexporter.com/analyze-competitor-comments/

Paste the link of a competitor's best-performing post below and run an AI report. It reads up to 5,000 comments on TikTok and YouTube (1,500 on Instagram, 2,000 on X, 1,000 on Reddit) and lists the questions, complaints, buying signals, requests and praise, each with the comments that make the point and links to them. Their customers' complaints are your ad angles; their unanswered questions are your landing page.

## Step by step

1. **Pick the posts**: Their most-viewed videos, launch posts and ads: the ones with the most comments say the most.
2. **Run a report on each**: Paste a link and choose AI report (1,000 points, $10). It takes about a minute for a few hundred comments.
3. **Compare the complaints**: What do people say breaks, costs too much or is missing? Those are the claims your product can make.
4. **Keep watching**: Add their newest post to "Email me new comments" with words like refund, broke or alternative, and get only those comments by email.

## What it finds, from a real report

In our sample report on the launch of Obsidian's command-line tool on X (361 replies), the top complaint was that it "requires the Obsidian app to be running; not headless" (14 replies), and the top request was to "make it headless / standalone for VPS and Linux servers" (13). For anyone building a competing or add-on tool, that is the gap to lead with.

## What the report can't do

- It reads one post at a time; run one per post and compare them.
- YouTube reports are text only, without counts: YouTube's policies don't allow numbers derived from its data.
- It summarizes what commenters said; it doesn't check whether they're right.

## Real report

[361 replies to Obsidian's CLI launch on X](https://aicommentexporter.com/samples/obsidian-announcement-x/): Commenters are excited about a new CLI for Obsidian that makes vaults scriptable and useful for AI agents and automation, and many see it as a major release. The biggest recurring concern is that it still requires the Obsidian app running, with strong demand for a headless/standalone version for servers and VPS use, plus requests for CLI sync support and open sourcing. Some also question whether it adds much over plain shell tools or existing MCP setups, and a few dislike the light terminal theme.

## Questions

**Will the competitor know?** No. Reading public comments doesn't notify the account.

**Can I get the raw comments too?** Yes. Export them to Excel or CSV (300 points per 1,000 rows, $3 at the base rate) and keep them next to the report.
