Search, filter and sort
Type a word to highlight every match, filter by a username, sort by likes or date, or jump to the first comment.
A YouTube comment search and viewer for any video
YouTube has no comment search box and only shows comments a few at a time. TubeKit works as a YouTube comment search and comment viewer: it loads a video's comments into one list you can search, filter and sort.
- Search comments by keyword
- Every match is highlighted, in the comment text and in usernames. Find questions, timestamps, product mentions or your own comment.
- Find comments by username
- Type a username or tap one in the list to see everything that person wrote under this video.
- First and oldest comment finder
- Sort oldest first to see the oldest comments and who commented first. Once every comment is loaded, the first one is marked.
- Top comments by likes
- Sort by likes to see the comments people agreed with most, with reply counts and a link to each comment on YouTube.
- Big videos too
- The newest 1,000 comments are free. To read all of a video with tens of thousands of comments, use credits: 1 credit per 200 comments.
- Stays in your browser
- Searching, filtering and sorting happen on your device, and we don't record what you search for. Public comments are cached on our servers for up to an hour so repeat reads load faster.

Frequently asked questions
YouTube itself has no comment search. Paste the video's link above and press Find comments. TubeKit loads the comments into one list where you can search by keyword, filter by username and sort by likes or date.
Yes, within one video. Type the username (with or without @) in the username filter, or tap a name in the list, to see all of that person's comments under the video. YouTube doesn't let any tool search one person's comments across all of YouTube.
Sort by Oldest or press Show the first comment. The first comment is only certain once every comment is loaded, so on big videos read all comments first; TubeKit then marks it as the first comment.
Yes. Paste a Shorts link (youtube.com/shorts/...) the same way as a normal video link.
Yes. You can open 3 videos a day for free, without an account, and the newest 1,000 comments of each are free; opening the same video again today doesn't count again. To read more of a big video, sign in and use credits: 1 credit per 200 comments.
Not with this tool. YouTube only shows your own comment history to you, in your Google account under YouTube's "Your activity" (Comments). To find a comment you left on one video, paste that video's link here and filter by your username.
Not yet. The finder reads top-level comments and shows how many replies each one has; open a comment on YouTube to read its replies. The comment count YouTube shows includes replies, so the finder's total is usually lower.
Creators can turn comments off, and videos made for kids have none. YouTube also holds back comments it treats as spam or that wait for the creator's review, so a few may not appear.
Yes. The Comment Downloader saves the same comments as CSV, Excel or JSON, and the Comment Picker draws a random winner from them for your giveaway.
