ChatGPT answers, unedited

If the goal is one dashboard that aggregates a creator’s hashtag/keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d shortlist these:

• HypeAuditor Media Monitor — probably the closest match. It explicitly supports monitoring Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok by @mention, hashtag, or keyword, including Instagram Reels, YouTube videos/Shorts, and TikTok videos. HypeAuditor Help
• ContentScout — particularly interesting if you want deeper creator/content intelligence. It tracks topics across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and says it indexes comments, captions, video transcripts, and covers, rather than just explicit mentions. ContentScout ContentScout
• Respondology Discover — strongest if comments themselves are the main thing you care about. It supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and can search/comment-analyze public profiles with semantic topic search, sentiment, and trend summaries. Respondology
• EmbedSocial — worth considering if you want to collect mentions/UGC and then export or organize them. It supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with hashtag/keyword filtering and CSV exports. EmbedSocial EmbedSocial
• Brand24 — a more established general-purpose social listening option. It monitors hashtags and public mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and many other sources. Brand24

My pick for your use case

Start with HypeAuditor Media Monitor if your requirement is essentially:

“Give me every relevant post/reel/video mentioning these keywords or hashtags, across these three platforms, in one feed.”

Its documentation specifically describes that workflow across all three platforms. HypeAuditor Help

If what you really mean is:

“I want to know what people are saying in the comments about a creator/topic, including variations that don't contain my exact keyword,”

then Respondology Discover or ContentScout is more aligned with that requirement. Respondology emphasizes comment-level analysis, while ContentScout additionally analyzes video transcripts and other content. Respondology ContentScout

One caveat: “aggregate every mention” is not literally guaranteed on these platforms. Access to public social data varies by platform/API and tool, and TikTok collection methods in particular can produce materially different datasets. arXiv

If you tell me whether this is for one creator, an agency managing many creators, or a SaaS product you're building, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, API access, historical data, comment coverage, and export/webhook support.

If your goal is one dashboard that aggregates mentions of a creator’s hashtags/keywords across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube—especially the comments, I’d shortlist these:

• hypeauditor.com — probably the closest match. Its Media Monitor can track @mentions, hashtags, and keywords across Instagram (including Reels), TikTok, and YouTube. HypeAuditor Help
• contentscout.co — particularly interesting if you care about what people are actually saying. It monitors TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and explicitly analyzes comment sections, transcripts, captions, and video content, with keyword/topic tracking. ContentScout ContentScout
• feedpulse.app — more focused on aggregating and analyzing audience comments. It collects comments from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram and groups them into topics/sentiment. FeedPulse
• favikon.com — useful if this is primarily for creator/influencer monitoring. It tracks keywords, hashtags, and mentions across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok and refreshes the data automatically. Favikon
• atune.cc — a broader AI social-listening option that monitors keywords across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with relevance filtering. Atune

My take

For your specific use case, I'd investigate ContentScout first if comments are the core data source, and HypeAuditor if you want more traditional creator/hashtag/mention monitoring.

One important distinction: “find posts containing a keyword” and “aggregate every comment containing a keyword” are different capabilities. A lot of social-listening platforms are good at the former but don't necessarily give you comprehensive comment-level coverage.

If you tell me (1) the creator's approximate audience size, (2) whether you need historical data, and (3) whether you want an API/export, I can narrow this to the 2–3 tools that fit and compare pricing, comment coverage, API access, and Instagram/TikTok/YouTube limitations.

If the key requirement is one place to aggregate hashtag/keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d look at Brandwatch Listen first.

My pick: brandwatch.com

It supports:

• Instagram: hashtag monitoring and public posts; Brandwatch also supports tracking owned Instagram accounts. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• TikTok: mentions of your handle in videos, comments, and replies, plus TikTok brand-hashtag tracking for connected accounts. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• YouTube: videos and comments through its data providers. Brandwatch Help Center
• Keywords/phrases: you can create queries around a creator's name, products, recurring phrases, hashtags, competitors, etc. Brandwatch Help Center
• Analytics: mention volume, sentiment, trends, alerts, and the ability to drill into individual mentions. Brandwatch

So you could create something like:

"CreatorName" OR "@creator" OR "#CreatorName" OR "signature phrase"

and use that as the listening topic across the relevant sources.

One important caveat

If your requirement specifically means “find every occurrence of a keyword inside every TikTok/Reel/YouTube comment on the public internet”, platform APIs impose significant limits. For example, tools may only have full comment access for connected/owned accounts or particular hashtag datasets. Brandwatch's TikTok documentation explicitly distinguishes owned-account comment monitoring from its hashtag datasets. Brandwatch Help Center

Sprout Social is another option worth considering, but I'd put it behind Brandwatch for this exact use case. Its current documentation says it can listen to Instagram Reels and TikTok data, but YouTube listening does not include comments—it primarily provides video titles/descriptions—so it doesn't satisfy your requirement as cleanly. support.sproutsocial.com support.sproutsocial.com

If this is for one creator rather than a large brand, I can also give you 3 cheaper creator-focused tools and compare them on Instagram Reels + TikTok + YouTube comments + price + API/export capability.

Yes. For your exact use case, I’d start with Brand24.

brand24.com can monitor keywords, hashtags, and mentions across Instagram/Reels, TikTok, and YouTube in one dashboard. It also supports filters, sentiment, reach, influencer/author analysis, alerts, and exports. Brand24 Brand24

Best fit: Brand24

For a creator, I’d configure a project around:

• @creatorhandle
• Creator name / variations of their name
• Branded hashtags, e.g. #CreatorName
• Recurring catchphrases or keywords
• Product/campaign names
• Competitor or adjacent keywords
• Common misspellings

You can then see the conversation across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube rather than manually checking each platform. Brand24 specifically says it monitors Instagram including Reels, TikTok, and YouTube. Brand24

One important caveat: if by "YouTube comments" you mean every individual comment underneath the creator's own videos, rather than YouTube mentions broadly, I'd verify that requirement with them before buying. Social listening platforms don't all have the same access to platform comments.

Another strong option: HypeAuditor

hypeauditor.com is particularly interesting if this is creator/influencer intelligence, rather than general brand monitoring. Its Media Monitor lets you create feeds for @mentions, #hashtags, and keywords across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, including Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. HypeAuditor Help Center

I'd lean toward HypeAuditor if you also want influencer discovery, audience analytics, and creator benchmarking.

Enterprise option: Meltwater

meltwater.com is the heavier-duty choice. It monitors Instagram, TikTok and YouTube alongside news, Reddit, forums, etc., with real-time alerts and more sophisticated social-listening/reporting capabilities. Meltwater Meltwater

My ranking for your use case:

1. Brand24 — best balance of simple + powerful for one creator/brand.
2. HypeAuditor — best if the creator/influencer analytics side matters too.
3. Meltwater — best if this is for an agency/enterprise and you need broad listening and reporting.

If your real requirement is specifically "give me every comment mentioning X on my creator's Instagram Reels + TikToks + YouTube videos, then aggregate the mentions by keyword/hashtag", that's a narrower technical requirement. I can identify the best tool/API for that exact workflow, including whether each platform actually exposes the comments you need.

hypeauditor.com is particularly interesting if this is creator/influencer intelligence, rather than general brand monitoring. Its Media Monitor lets you create feeds for @mentions, #hashtags, and keywords across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, including Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. help.hypeauditor.com

I'd lean toward HypeAuditor if you also want influencer discovery, audience analytics, and creator benchmarking.

Enterprise option: Meltwater

For a creator (rather than a big brand), I’d look for a tool that can do three things well:

1. Track your name, @handle, hashtags, and keywords
2. Pull from Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments/content
3. Turn raw mentions into themes, sentiment, fan questions, and content ideas

Here are the strongest options:

Best overall: brand24.com

Best for: creators who want a simple “who is talking about me?” dashboard

• Tracks keywords, brand names, hashtags, and mentions across social/web sources
• Good sentiment analysis (positive/negative/neutral)
• Useful for finding: - people mentioning your name
• audience complaints/questions
• recurring topics
• viral conversations around your niche
• Easier to use than enterprise tools

A good setup:

• Keyword 1: your creator name
• Keyword 2: your @handle variations
• Keyword 3: your signature phrase/catchphrase
• Keyword 4: your niche keyword (e.g., “budget travel,” “fitness meals”)

Built In## Best for hashtag campaigns: keyhole.co

Best for: creators running campaigns, launches, or tracking a viral hashtag

Strengths:

• Hashtag tracking
• Influencer discovery
• Campaign performance
• Share-of-voice comparisons

Example use:

“How many people are posting #MyCourseName or talking about my launch?”

Keyhole is particularly focused on hashtag and campaign analytics across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Octolens Brand24

Best creator-focused option: contentscout.co

Best for: short-form creators who care about Reels/TikTok/YouTube trends

Useful features:

• Tracks topics across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
• Looks beyond captions into video content signals and comments
• Helps identify what audiences are discussing

This is closer to “what should I make next?” than traditional brand monitoring. ContentScout

Best enterprise-grade (if you have a team): brandwatch.com or talkwalker.com

Best for: large creators, agencies, or creator businesses

Pros:

• Deep social listening
• Trend detection
• Competitive analysis
• Reporting dashboards

Cons:

• Usually expensive and more complex than a solo creator needs. Built In

Budget/free-ish workflow

If you’re a smaller creator, a practical stack is:

• studio.youtube.com → YouTube comments/search insights
• tiktok.com → TikTok analytics
• business.instagram.com → Instagram insights
• Brand24 or Keyhole → cross-platform mentions

My recommendation by creator size

• Under 100k followers: Brand24 or ContentScout
• 100k–1M followers: Brand24 + Keyhole
• 1M+ / monetized creator business: Brandwatch, Talkwalker, or a creator intelligence platform

One caveat: no tool has perfect access to every TikTok/Instagram comment because platform APIs limit third-party data access. The best tools combine available platform data with monitoring, alerts, and analytics rather than literally collecting every comment everywhere. arXiv

If you tell me your creator niche (fitness, beauty, gaming, finance, education, etc.) and whether you want fan insights or finding viral content ideas, I can narrow this down further.

Yes. For that exact use case, I’d shortlist Brandwatch and Meltwater, with Brandwatch probably the better fit for a creator-focused workflow.

🥇 My pick: Brandwatch Listen

brandwatch.com

It can aggregate social mentions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and lets you build searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and handles. Brandwatch specifically says its mentions can include posts and comments, and its YouTube data includes comments. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

For a creator, you could set up something like:

• Creator name / handle
• Branded hashtags — #CreatorName, #CreatorNameChallenge
• Keyword variations — "creator name", "creator nickname", common misspellings
• Campaign/product keywords
• Platform filters: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube
• Sentiment and conversation-volume tracking
• Alerts when mentions suddenly spike

One important caveat: Instagram and TikTok data access has platform/API limitations. For example, Brandwatch's current documentation says Instagram hashtag tracking covers public posts using the hashtag, while owned TikTok accounts can provide mentions from videos, comments, and replies. Brandwatch Help Center So I'd verify the exact coverage for the creator's accounts before purchasing.

🥈 Meltwater

meltwater.com

Meltwater is arguably stronger if this is becoming a professional creator/agency intelligence operation. It monitors Instagram, TikTok and YouTube alongside other sources, supports keyword/Boolean searches, alerts, sentiment, trend detection and dashboards. Meltwater Meltwater

It also explicitly supports comments and says its social listening product has 15 months of historical social data across platforms including Instagram, YouTube and comments. Meltwater

What I'd choose

If your requirement is specifically "give me every mention of this creator/keyword across Reels + TikToks + YouTube comments, then aggregate them into one searchable feed", I'd demo Brandwatch first, but I'd make the vendor demonstrate the exact Instagram Reels/TikTok/YouTube-comment coverage using your creator's actual keywords before committing.

If you're building this as a tool for creators rather than buying one for yourself, that's a somewhat different answer—I can recommend the best API/data-provider stack for building it.

For a creator (rather than a big brand), I’d look at social listening + creator intelligence tools that can monitor keywords, hashtags, and comments across short-form video platforms. The best choice depends on whether you care more about finding mentions, analyzing audience feedback, or finding content trends.

Best overall options

1. Syncly — best for video-first monitoring

syncly.app

Good fit if you want:

• Instagram Reels + TikTok + YouTube Shorts monitoring
• Mentions even when you are not tagged
• Sentiment analysis (“people love this”, “people complain about this”)
• AI summaries of what audiences are saying

Syncly positions itself around video social intelligence, including capturing mentions and sentiment across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Syncly

Best for: creators building a brand and wanting to understand audience perception.

2. Favikon — best creator-focused tracker

favikon.com

Good fit if you want:

• Track keywords, hashtags, and creator conversations
• Monitor your niche and competitors
• Discover other creators discussing your topics

Favikon’s Tracker product is designed to monitor keywords, hashtags, and mentions across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X in one dashboard. Favikon

Best for: influencers, agencies, and creators doing competitive research.

3. Brand24 — best general mention monitoring

brand24.com

Good fit if you want:

• Your name, username, product, or catchphrase tracked
• Alerts when people mention you
• Sentiment and discussion volume

Best for: creators who have a recognizable personal brand.

4. Sprout Social — best if you already manage multiple accounts

sproutsocial.com

Good fit if you need:

• Social listening
• Publishing
• Analytics
• Team workflows

One caveat: social listening coverage differs by platform. For example, Sprout’s listening tools support Instagram hashtags and TikTok/YouTube data in specific ways, but comment-level coverage varies. Sprout Social Support

5. EmbedSocial — best for collecting UGC

embedsocial.com

Good fit if you want:

• Collect posts using your hashtag
• Find user-generated content
• Organize mentions and content libraries

EmbedSocial focuses on aggregating mentions, hashtags, and UGC from social platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube-related monitoring features. EmbedSocial EmbedSocial

If I were choosing for a creator

• Solo creator (10K–500K followers): Syncly or Favikon
• Creator selling products/course/brand deals: Brand24 + Favikon
• UGC-heavy creator (beauty, fitness, food, fashion): EmbedSocial
• Creator team/agency: Sprout Social

A practical setup would be:

1. Track your name + username variations
2. Track 5–20 niche keywords
3. Track campaign hashtags
4. Export comments weekly and look for: - repeated questions
5. objections
6. phrases fans use
7. content ideas

One thing to watch: no tool has perfect access to every Instagram Reel/TikTok/YouTube comment because platform APIs and permissions limit what third parties can collect. Tools that promise “everything from everywhere” may rely on less reliable collection methods. arXiv

If you tell me the creator type (YouTuber, TikTok creator, musician, coach, ecommerce founder, etc.) and approximate audience size, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 tools.

Yes. For your exact use case, I’d shortlist HypeAuditor Media Monitor first.

• hypeauditor.com — Tracks @mentions, hashtags, and keywords across Instagram (including Reels), TikTok, and YouTube (including Shorts). You can create feeds around a creator, campaign hashtag, brand name, or specific keywords. HypeAuditor Help Center
• syncly.app — Better if you want deeper analysis. It covers TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, including captions and comments, and can analyze spoken/on-screen mentions too. Syncly Syncly
• embedsocial.com — Good if the primary need is aggregating UGC/comments/mentions into one dashboard, with keyword, hashtag, platform, creator, and date filtering. It supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. EmbedSocial EmbedSocial
• respondology.com — Particularly interesting if you care about comment-level intelligence. It pulls public comments from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other platforms and applies AI sentiment/theme analysis. Respondology

My pick

If you're asking:

"Give me one dashboard where I can see everything people are saying about Creator X, including hashtag/keyword mentions on their Reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos/comments."

I'd start with HypeAuditor.

If what you really want is audience intelligence—e.g. "What are people repeatedly saying in the comments about this creator? What themes, questions, complaints, and positive reactions are emerging?"—I'd look harder at Syncly or Respondology.

One important distinction: tracking mentions of a creator/keyword and aggregating all comments on that creator's own content are different capabilities. If you tell me which of those you need, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools and compare pricing/API/export capabilities.

If the goal is one dashboard that aggregates a creator’s hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, I’d start with brand24.com.

Why Brand24 fits

• Instagram: tracks public mentions, hashtags, and Reels. Brand24 Help Center Brand24
• TikTok: monitors keyword/brand mentions and can surface conversations around them. Brand24 Help Center Brand24
• YouTube: monitors mentions across YouTube and can analyze video titles, descriptions, hashtags, and—importantly—spoken mentions via captions. Brand24 Help Center Brand24
• Keyword/hashtag queries: you can create projects around a creator name, handle, campaign hashtag, product name, catchphrase, etc., and use Boolean operators to cut down noise. Brand24 Help Center
• Cross-platform analysis: mentions, reach, engagement, sentiment, trending hashtags, authors/influencers, and topic trends can be analyzed from one place. Brand24 Brand24 Help Center

One important caveat

If by “YouTube comments” you specifically mean every comment underneath videos, rather than mentions in YouTube content, I would verify the exact coverage for your use case before committing. Social-listening platforms have different API/access limitations, particularly around comments.

If deep comment-level monitoring is the primary requirement, YouScan is another one I'd evaluate. It supports Instagram comment monitoring and keyword-based comment filtering, including Instagram Reels through authorized Creator/Business accounts. YouScan Knowledge Base YouScan Knowledge Base

My shortlist:

1. Brand24 — best overall fit for cross-platform creator listening.
2. YouScan — stronger candidate if detailed Instagram/comment analysis is particularly important.
3. A custom API pipeline — worth considering if you need complete, raw comment datasets from specific creator accounts rather than general social listening.

If you tell me whether you need (a) mentions of the creator anywhere on the platforms or (b) comments specifically on the creator's own videos, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools and compare coverage, API access, historical data, pricing, and export options.

Yes. For your exact use case—a creator wanting to aggregate keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, including comments—I’d shortlist these:

🥇 Best fit: respondology.com

This is probably the closest match if comments are the priority. Respondology says Discover can pull comment data from public handles across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms, then use AI to identify sentiment, themes, and trends. Respondology

Good for:

• Monitoring comments on a creator's content
• Finding recurring keywords/topics in comments
• Sentiment and theme analysis
• Monitoring multiple platforms in one place
• Seeing what audiences are actually saying rather than just counting @mentions

🥈 Best all-around social listening: sproutsocial.com

Sprout's Listening product covers Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, among other networks. It can track Instagram hashtags and TikTok video comments/mentions. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support

The catch is important: YouTube Listening doesn't currently include comments in Sprout's listening query data—it focuses on video descriptions, tags and titles. Sprout Social Support

So I wouldn't choose Sprout if YouTube comments are a hard requirement.

🥉 Worth testing: embedsocial.com

EmbedSocial is interesting because it aggregates social content into one dashboard and supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. It specifically offers hashtag/mention monitoring and YouTube comment collection through the YouTube API. EmbedSocial EmbedSocial

It may be a better fit if you're trying to build a creator intelligence/UGC dashboard, rather than a traditional enterprise social-listening system.

If you're building this as a product

I'd actually look at getphyllo.com. It provides APIs for cross-platform keyword/hashtag/competitor mention monitoring across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, so you could build your own creator-facing dashboard on top of it. Phyllo

My recommendation:

One caveat: “mentions” and “comments containing a keyword” are not the same thing, and platform APIs impose significant limits on what can be collected. For example, Sprout explicitly has different coverage rules for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Sprout Social Support

If you tell me whether this is for your own creator account or a SaaS product you're building, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 tools that can actually do the exact Instagram Reels + TikTok + YouTube comment aggregation you want, including pricing/API availability.

If the goal is specifically “aggregate what people are saying about a creator across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, based on hashtags + keywords”, I’d look at Brandwatch first.

My top pick: Brandwatch Listen

brandwatch.com

It’s one of the stronger options for this use case because it can consolidate social listening across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and lets you build searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and mentions. Brandwatch Brandwatch Help Center

For example, you could create a listening setup around:

• Creator name / variations of their name
• @creatorhandle
• Branded hashtags
• Campaign hashtags
• Product names
• Recurring phrases associated with the creator
• Competitor/peer creator names
• Sentiment around those terms

Important caveat: platform APIs impose limits on what can actually be collected. Brandwatch's current documentation says Instagram can provide comments on owned accounts and public posts using tracked hashtags; TikTok can provide mentions of an owned TikTok handle in videos, comments and replies; and YouTube data includes videos and comments through third-party providers. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

Runner-up: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com

Sprout's Listening product is easier to use and has good keyword/hashtag query building. It supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube as listening sources. Sprout Social Support

However, there's a big limitation for your exact requirement: Sprout's current documentation says its YouTube listening source provides video descriptions, tags and/or titles—not YouTube comments. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support So I wouldn't choose Sprout if YouTube comments are a must-have.

What I'd choose

Brand24 is worth considering if you're a solo creator or small team rather than an enterprise brand; it focuses heavily on straightforward real-time keyword/mention monitoring across social and the wider web. Brandwatch

One thing I'd clarify before buying: if by “Instagram Reels and TikToks” you mean all public comments underneath any video that happens to mention the creator, rather than comments on the creator's own videos or posts using their hashtags, that's a substantially harder data-access problem. I'd verify that exact workflow with the vendor before committing.

If you tell me roughly how many creators you need to monitor (1, 10, 100+) and whether you need historical data, I can narrow this down to the best 3 tools by price + coverage, including creator-specific tools that may be better than traditional enterprise social listening.

For a creator who wants to track hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments, I’d look at tools in two categories: social listening platforms (ongoing monitoring) and comment intelligence tools (audience insights).

Best overall picks

1. favikon.com — best creator/influencer-focused option

Best for: creators, agencies, personal brands

• Tracks keywords, hashtags, and mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms.
• Lets you monitor conversations around your name, niche, competitors, or campaign hashtags.
• Good if you want to discover: - Who is talking about you
• Which creators are driving conversations
• Emerging trends in your niche

Favikon specifically positions its Tracker product around monitoring creators, keywords, hashtags, and mentions across multiple platforms. Favikon

My pick for: a creator building a brand and wanting growth intelligence.

2. feedpulse.app — best for analyzing comments

Best for: creators who care about what their audience is saying

• Pulls comments from: - Instagram
• TikTok
• YouTube
• Reddit
• X
• Uses AI to categorize feedback into themes.
• Useful for finding: - Repeated questions
• Content requests
• Complaints
• Audience language you can reuse in hooks/captions

FeedPulse focuses specifically on aggregating audience comments and turning them into organized insights. FeedPulse

My pick for: YouTube/TikTok/IG creators who want better content ideas from their community.

3. owlook.io — best for trend discovery

Best for: finding conversations before they become obvious

• Search a keyword/topic and monitor: - TikTok
• Instagram
• YouTube
• X
• Provides AI summaries, sentiment, and accounts driving discussion. Owlook

My pick for: creators in fast-moving niches (fitness, beauty, gaming, finance, AI, fashion).

4. exportcomments.xyz — best budget/manual workflow

Best for: exporting comments from specific viral posts

• Export comments from: - TikTok videos
• Instagram posts/Reels
• YouTube videos
• Download CSV/Excel/JSON and analyze yourself or with AI. Export Comments

My pick for: a creator who wants to analyze their last 100 viral posts rather than run a 24/7 monitor.

If I were setting this up for a creator, I’d choose:

A strong creator stack would be:

1. Favikon → ongoing mention/hashtag monitoring
2. FeedPulse → audience sentiment + content ideas
3. ChatGPT/Claude → summarize comments into scripts, hooks, and video ideas

One caveat: no tool has perfect access to every public comment/mention because Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube each restrict data access differently. Tools vary in whether they rely on official APIs, connected accounts, or other data sources. For example, some enterprise listening tools have platform-specific limitations around what they can collect (especially comments). Sprout Social Support

If you tell me the creator size (e.g., 10k followers vs 1M+) and whether this is for personal brand growth, sponsorships, or content research, I can narrow it to the best fit.

If your goal is one place to aggregate a creator’s hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, I’d start with brandwatch.com.

My top picks

• brandwatch.com — best overall for serious creator/social listening

• Covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in its listening product. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• Can collect posts/comments/conversations and let you build keyword, hashtag, and Boolean queries. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch
• TikTok can include mentions in videos, comments, and replies when the creator's account is connected. Brandwatch Help Center
• Instagram supports hashtag monitoring and public posts; Reels can be included. Brandwatch Help Center
• Caveat: YouTube coverage is through third-party data providers, so I'd verify exactly which comment-level data is available for your use case. Brandwatch Help Center
• brand24.com — best simpler/cheaper starting point

• Explicitly monitors Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube alongside the broader web. Brand24
• Strong for tracking specific keywords, hashtags, mention volume, reach, sentiment, and trends. Brand24 Brand24 Help Center
• Instagram Reels with a monitored hashtag are supported. Brand24 Help Center
• Its API can expose mention-level data, aggregated statistics, authors, sources, topics, etc., which is useful if you eventually want to build your own creator dashboard. Brand24

One important distinction

If by "YouTube comments" you mean literally searching the comments underneath videos for arbitrary keywords, rather than finding mentions in YouTube video metadata, verify this before buying. Tools differ considerably in what they can access from each platform.

For example, Sprout Social's listening documentation explicitly says its YouTube listening covers video descriptions, tags, and titles—not comments, while TikTok can cover connected-profile video comments. Sprout Social Support

My recommendation:
If you're building this for a creator/agency with multiple creators, I'd demo Brandwatch first. If you want something more lightweight that you can get running quickly around a set of creator names, handles, hashtags, and keywords, Brand24 is probably the better first experiment.

If you tell me (1) how many creators, (2) whether you need historical data, and (3) whether you need every individual comment exported/API-accessible, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools and their current pricing/capabilities.

For a creator (not just a brand), I’d look for tools that can do three things:

1. Track keywords + hashtags (e.g., your name, series name, niche terms)
2. Pull comments/conversations from Reels, TikToks, and YouTube
3. Turn the data into content ideas, audience insights, and trends

Here are the strongest options:

Best overall: favikon.com

Best for: creators who want to monitor their niche, competitors, and mentions.

• Tracks keywords, hashtags, and creator mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X. Favikon
• Useful for: - “Who is talking about my topic?”
• “What questions are people asking?”
• “What creators are growing in my niche?”
• More creator/influencer-focused than enterprise social listening platforms.

My pick for: a full-time creator building a personal brand.

Best for mining your own comments: commentfinder.app

Best for: finding audience questions and content ideas hidden in comments.

• Searches public comments on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube by keyword, phrase, or username. CommentFinder
• Good workflows: - Search your own videos for repeated questions
• Find objections (“too expensive”, “does this work?”)
• Extract ideas for future videos

Limitation: it is more of a comment search/research tool than a continuous monitoring dashboard.

Best enterprise-style social listening: brandwatch.com or sproutsocial.com

Best for: creators with teams, agencies, or sponsorship reporting needs.

• Strong analytics, sentiment tracking, reporting, and monitoring.
• support.sproutsocial.com supports keyword queries and network-specific monitoring, though coverage differs by platform (for example, YouTube listening may focus more on video metadata than comments). Sprout Social Support

Downside: often expensive and designed for brands.

Best if you want AI summaries of conversations: yourbrandontime.com

Best for: creators who want “tell me what people are saying about me” rather than dashboards.

Features include:

• Monitoring across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram
• Mention detection
• Sentiment/topic summaries
• Creator opportunity discovery YourBrandOnTime

Best DIY creator stack (cheap + effective)

If I were setting this up for a solo creator:

1. Favikon Tracker → monitor your name, niche keywords, competitors Favikon
2. CommentFinder → periodically mine comments for ideas CommentFinder
3. Export into Notion/Airtable with columns: - Keyword
4. Platform
5. Comment/question
6. Sentiment
7. Video idea
8. Status

My recommendation by creator size

• <100k followers: Favikon + CommentFinder
• 100k–1M: Favikon + an AI comment analysis workflow
• Agency/manager managing multiple creators: Sprout Social, Brandwatch, or a specialized API solution like getphyllo.com

One thing to watch: many “social listening” tools are good at posts/captions/hashtags but weaker at actual TikTok and Instagram comment ingestion because platform APIs restrict access. If your main goal is “find every audience question in comments,” prioritize comment-focused tools over traditional listening platforms. CommentFinder Sprout Social Support

I can also recommend a stack specifically for a solo YouTuber/TikTok creator, influencer agency, or brand-sponsored creator workflow if that’s your use case.

Yes. For your exact use case, I’d look at brandwatch.com first.

Best fit: Brandwatch Listen

• TikTok — can track mentions of your handle in videos, comments, and replies; it also supports TikTok brand hashtags under certain account/hashtag requirements. Brandwatch Social Media Management Help Brandwatch Social Media Management Help

• You can create keyword/phrase/hashtag searches, use Boolean operators, filter by platform, and analyze sentiment/trends. Brandwatch Social Media Management Help Brandwatch
• It also gives you historical data and dashboards rather than forcing you to manually check each platform. Brandwatch

The important caveat: social platforms restrict what third-party tools can access. So I wouldn't interpret "aggregate Instagram Reels, TikToks and YouTube comments" as literally every mention/comment on the internet. Brandwatch's coverage varies by platform and whether the creator's account is authenticated. For example, its Instagram hashtag tracking covers public posts using the hashtag, while its owned Instagram connection provides comments and mentions on the creator's own media. Brandwatch Social Media Management Help Brandwatch Social Media Management Help

A strong alternative: Meltwater

meltwater.com is probably my second choice. Its social listening platform covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and supports keyword/mention monitoring, alerts, historical analysis, and dashboards. Meltwater Meltwater

Meltwater is particularly interesting if you're building this for a creator/agency operation and want to combine social mentions with broader web/news monitoring.

What I'd choose

If what you're actually trying to build is "give me one feed containing every time people mention this creator, their name, @handle, campaign hashtags, or specific keywords in Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments", I can also find 3–5 more specialized/cheaper tools and compare their actual API/data coverage, pricing, and whether they capture comments vs. just posts.

Yes. For your exact use case, I’d look at HypeAuditor’s Media Monitor first. It is specifically built around monitoring creators and can track Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube using @mentions, hashtags, and keywords. It supports Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, YouTube videos, and Shorts. HypeAuditor Help Center

hypeauditor.com

Best options

• HypeAuditor Media Monitor — best fit for a creator

• Track a creator/brand's @mentions, #hashtags, and keywords
• Instagram Reels
• TikTok videos
• YouTube videos/Shorts
• Designed around influencer/creator monitoring rather than primarily enterprise brand research. HypeAuditor Help Center
• My pick if the goal is: “Show me everywhere people are talking about this creator/content.”
• Brandwatch Listen — best for deep social listening

• Tracks Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube among many other sources.
• Supports keyword/phrase and hashtag searches and can collect YouTube comments. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• Much stronger for large-scale sentiment, trend analysis, historical data, and reporting.
• Probably overkill if you're monitoring just one creator.
• Sprout Social Listening — good alternative

• Tracks Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and supports sophisticated keyword/hashtag queries. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support
• Important limitation: Sprout's YouTube listening data does not include comments, according to its current documentation. Sprout Social Support
• TikTok connected-profile listening does include comments on the creator's own videos. Sprout Social Support

One important distinction

If by “mentions” you mean all conversations people are having about the creator, including comments such as:

“I saw @creator's Reel and…”
“This creator's take on ___”
“Has anyone tried the thing from her TikTok?”

then comment-level coverage matters a lot. That's where I would favor HypeAuditor or Brandwatch over Sprout, depending on how much data/analysis you need.

My ranking for your use case:

1. 🥇 HypeAuditor Media Monitor — creator-focused, simplest fit
2. 🥈 Brandwatch — strongest if you need serious social listening/analytics
3. 🥉 Sprout Social — excellent broader social-management platform, but YouTube comment coverage is a dealbreaker for your particular requirement

If you tell me roughly how many creators you need to monitor (1, 10, 100+) and whether you need historical data/export/API access, I can narrow this down to the best tool and likely price tier.

If you’re a creator trying to aggregate hashtag mentions, keywords, audience questions, and comment themes across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, I’d look at these options:

Best overall: HypeAuditor Media Monitor

hypeauditor.com

Best for: creators who want ongoing monitoring of their name, hashtags, campaigns, and competitor mentions.

• Tracks Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube content by: - @mentions
• hashtags
• keywords
• campaign terms
• Useful for seeing where your content is being discussed and measuring campaign traction. HypeAuditor Help Center
• More “brand intelligence” oriented than a simple comment inbox.

Downside: likely overkill if you only want to mine your own comments for content ideas.

Best for turning comments into content ideas: FeedPulse

feedpulse.app

Best for: creators who want to know “what is my audience repeatedly asking for?”

• Aggregates comments from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and X.
• Uses AI to group themes, sentiment, questions, praise, and recurring feedback. FeedPulse
• Good for: - finding FAQs
• spotting product requests
• identifying recurring pain points
• generating future video ideas

Downside: more feedback intelligence than hashtag tracking.

Best lightweight comment mining: CommentFinder

commentfinder.app

Best for: a creator who wants to search comments without building a dashboard.

• Searches public comments on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube by phrase, keyword, or username.
• Includes available replies/nested conversations. CommentFinder
• Great for questions like: - “What do people keep asking under my videos?”
• “How many people mentioned this product/topic?”

Downside: more search-on-demand than always-on monitoring.

Best DIY/API option: SocialCrawl

socialcrawl.dev

Best for: creators with a developer, agency, or custom dashboard.

• Searches across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
• Can return enriched comments and keyword-related results. SocialCrawl
• Useful if you want to build: - a creator listening dashboard
• automated alerts
• weekly “audience trends” reports

My recommendation by creator type

For most individual creators, I’d start with FeedPulse + HypeAuditor: one tells you what your audience is saying, the other tells you where your content/brand is appearing. HypeAuditor Help Center FeedPulse

One caveat: true “all mentions everywhere” tracking is limited because Instagram/TikTok/YouTube APIs restrict access to some public data, especially comments and hashtag discovery. Tools vary a lot in what they can legally and reliably collect.

For a creator trying to aggregate hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d look at these options depending on whether you want listening, analytics, or building your own system:

Best overall: HypeAuditor Media Monitor

HypeAuditor HelpBest for: creators, influencer managers, agencies tracking their name, campaigns, and niche keywords.

What it does:

• Tracks Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube content by: - hashtags
• @mentions
• keywords
• Lets you create monitoring feeds for topics like: - your creator name
• product names
• recurring audience phrases
• campaign hashtags
• Good reporting layer if you manage multiple creators. HypeAuditor Help

Downside: more influencer/brand intelligence oriented than a pure "read every comment and find ideas" tool.

Best for mining audience comments: Phyllo

PhylloBest for: creators building a content intelligence workflow or companies building creator tools.

Strengths:

• Cross-platform creator data access (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)
• Comment analysis
• Mention tracking
• UGC harvesting
• Sentiment and intent analysis
• APIs if you want to pipe data into Airtable, Notion, a dashboard, or an AI assistant. Phyllo

This is probably the best choice if your goal is:

"Show me every time people ask about X, complain about Y, or mention my brand across my content."

Best creator-focused trend discovery: Augur

AugurBest for: finding what topics are taking off rather than only monitoring your own mentions.

It tracks:

• TikTok
• Instagram Reels
• YouTube Shorts

and surfaces:

• emerging trends
• outlier videos
• keyword patterns
• content formats gaining momentum. Augur

Good if your workflow is:

"What should I make next?"

rather than:

"Who is talking about me?"

Best lightweight social listening dashboard: MentionWatch

MentionWatchGood for:

• tracking a few keywords
• monitoring mentions
• sentiment tagging
• simple dashboards

Supports monitoring across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. MentionWatch

If your main goal is comment mining specifically

Consider a comment extraction + AI analysis workflow:

• ExportComments — exports comments from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and can analyze sentiment/topics. Export Comments
• Feed exports into: - ChatGPT
• Notion database
• Airtable
• Google Sheets

Example workflow:

Every day:
1. Pull new comments from Reels/TikTok/YouTube
2. Search for:
   - questions
   - repeated phrases
   - complaints
   - requests
   - "how do I..." comments
3. Cluster into content ideas
4. Generate next video topics

My pick by use case

For an individual creator (not an agency), I’d probably start with Phyllo or Augur depending on whether you care more about your audience's conversations or finding new trends. Phyllo Augur

If the goal is one dashboard that aggregates a creator’s hashtag/keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d start with brandwatch.com.

Best fit: Brandwatch

Brandwatch’s Listen product is unusually close to your requirements:

• Instagram: tracks public posts using specified hashtags; for connected/owned accounts it can also index posts, comments, tags and account mentions. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• TikTok: can track mentions of an owned TikTok handle in videos, comments and replies, plus verified brand hashtags. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• YouTube: collects videos and comments through its data providers. Brandwatch Help Center
• You can build keyword/Boolean searches around a creator's name, handle, branded hashtags, recurring phrases, competitors, etc., then analyze mention volume, sentiment, trends and individual conversations. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch
• It also has historical data and AI-powered alerts for spikes/drops in mentions. Brandwatch

Important caveat: social platforms impose different API/data-access restrictions, so "aggregate everything" doesn't literally mean every comment on every public video. Brandwatch's coverage varies by platform and whether the account/content is connected.

Another option: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is worth considering if this is primarily for managing a creator's own channels rather than broad internet-wide listening.

It can listen to Instagram and TikTok content and comments, and supports hashtag/keyword queries. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support However, there's a significant catch for your use case: Sprout's YouTube Listening data does not include YouTube comments according to its current documentation. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

So I'd rank them:

1. Brandwatch — best match for cross-platform mention intelligence, especially because YouTube comments are included.
2. Sprout Social — better if you also want publishing, inbox/community management and analytics, but weaker for your specific YouTube-comment requirement.
3. Custom/API solution — worth considering if this is for a creator-management product and you need near-real-time ingestion, your own database, or much more granular Reel/TikTok/YouTube comment data.

If you're building a tool for creators rather than looking for a SaaS to use yourself, I can also recommend the best API/data provider stack for pulling Instagram Reels + TikTok + YouTube comments into your own dashboard.

If your goal is one dashboard that aggregates keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments for an individual creator, I’d look at Brandwatch Listen first.

brandwatch.com

My pick: Brandwatch

It’s particularly strong for this use case because it can monitor:

• Instagram — public posts using tracked hashtags, plus posts/comments/mentions from connected accounts. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• TikTok — mentions of a connected creator/brand account in videos, comments and replies, plus eligible brand hashtags. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• YouTube — videos and comments, which is important for your requirement. Brandwatch Help Center
• Keywords, phrases, hashtags and handles through Boolean queries, so you can build something like: "CreatorName" OR "@creator" OR "#CreatorName" OR "product-name". Brandwatch Brandwatch Help Center
• Historical data, sentiment, mention volume, alerts and individual mention exploration. Brandwatch

One caveat: social-platform APIs impose restrictions, so "all mentions everywhere" isn't literally guaranteed. For example, TikTok data has limits around connected accounts/hashtags, and Instagram hashtag monitoring is based on public content. Brandwatch Help Center

Another option: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com

Sprout is arguably easier to use and is excellent if you also want publishing, engagement and analytics. It can listen to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and supports keyword/hashtag queries. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support

However, I would not choose Sprout for your exact requirement if YouTube comments are essential: its current Listening documentation says YouTube listening brings in video descriptions/tags/titles rather than comments. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

What I'd choose

If this is for a creator rather than a large brand, there is another interesting direction: a lighter-weight tool/API stack that specifically collects comments + captions + hashtags for a list of creator accounts, then gives you a searchable "mention inbox." That could be substantially cheaper than Brandwatch.

If you tell me roughly how many creators/accounts you need to monitor (e.g. 1, 10, or 100) and whether you need historical data, I can narrow this down to the best 3 tools by price and API/data coverage.

If your requirement is specifically one dashboard that aggregates keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok videos/comments, and YouTube comments, I’d start with brandwatch.com.

My pick: Brandwatch

Brandwatch’s Listen product is unusually close to what you described:

• Instagram: can monitor hashtags and, for connected/targeted accounts, posts, comments, mentions and tags. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center
• TikTok: can capture mentions of a connected brand/creator handle in videos, comments and replies, plus TikTok brand hashtags. Brandwatch Help Center
• YouTube: collects videos and comments through its data providers. Brandwatch Help Center
• You can create searches around creator name, @handle, keywords, phrases and hashtags, then aggregate the resulting mentions in one listening environment. Brandwatch Help Center
• It also gives you sentiment/AI analysis and trend detection, which is useful if the goal is to understand what people are saying about the creator, rather than simply count mentions.

Important caveat: social platforms' APIs/data-access rules mean no tool can literally guarantee every public comment or mention. Brandwatch's coverage varies depending on whether the account is connected/owned, whether you're tracking a hashtag, and the platform's data availability. For Instagram in particular, Brandwatch says public non-owned accounts provide posts but not comments unless the account is tracked as a targeted source. Brandwatch Help Center

Another strong option: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com is probably the better choice if this is for a creator/marketing team that also wants publishing, engagement and analytics.

It supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube listening, and can aggregate owned-account interactions. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

However, there's a significant catch for your use case: Sprout's YouTube listening does not currently include YouTube comments—its listening data covers video descriptions, titles/tags, etc. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support So I would not choose Sprout if YouTube comments are a hard requirement.

What I'd choose

If this is for one creator rather than a brand, I can also find you 3–5 cheaper/simpler tools specifically designed for creator monitoring, including their pricing and exactly which of Reels comments, TikTok comments, YouTube comments, @mentions, and hashtags they can ingest.

If your goal is one dashboard that aggregates keyword/hashtag mentions around a creator across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d start with brand24.com.

Why Brand24 is a strong fit

• Instagram + Reels: It can monitor public Instagram posts and Reels containing tracked hashtags/keywords, including Reels where the creator is tagged. Brand24 Help Center Brand24
• TikTok: It monitors TikTok mentions and lets you track keywords/hashtags. Brand24 Brand24
• YouTube: It monitors YouTube mentions and can analyze keywords appearing in video metadata and even auto-generated captions. Brand24 Help Center
• Unified keyword/hashtag monitoring: You create a project around the creator's name, handle, branded hashtags, product names, recurring phrases, etc., and then filter the resulting mentions by source. Brand24 Help Center Brand24 Help Center
• Analysis: It adds sentiment, reach, influential authors, trends, and alerts, which is useful if you're trying to turn raw mentions into creator/audience insights. Brand24

One important caveat: social-platform APIs/data-access rules mean that "all comments everywhere" isn't necessarily available to any third-party tool. For example, Brand24's Instagram coverage has specific requirements around connected Business/Creator accounts and public data. Brand24 Help Center

Another option: Brandwatch

If this is for a larger creator/agency operation, I'd also look at brandwatch.com. It covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and is considerably more enterprise-oriented, with Boolean queries, historical data, sentiment, alerts, and large-scale social listening. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch

Brandwatch has particularly useful distinctions around owned TikTok accounts and Instagram data: for an owned TikTok channel it can capture mentions of the handle from videos, comments, and replies; YouTube videos and comments are also included in its data sources. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

My pick

If you tell me whether you're monitoring one creator or hundreds, and whether you need every individual comment exported into a database/API versus just a dashboard, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools.

If the goal is one dashboard that aggregates a creator’s keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d start with Brandwatch.

My pick: Brandwatch

brandwatch.com

It’s particularly strong for this use case because its listening product covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and can aggregate mentions into searchable dashboards. Brandwatch says its YouTube data includes videos and comments, while TikTok can capture mentions from videos, comments, and replies for a connected account. Instagram supports owned-account comments/mentions and public posts using tracked hashtags. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

You could build queries around things like:

• Creator name + common misspellings
• @creatorhandle
• Branded hashtags
• Campaign hashtags
• Product names
• Recurring phrases/memes associated with the creator
• Competitor/alternative names

Then segment the resulting mentions by Instagram / TikTok / YouTube, sentiment, topic, date, engagement, etc. Brandwatch also supports customizable dashboards and historical data. Brandwatch Brandwatch

One important caveat

No mainstream social-listening tool has unlimited access to every comment on every platform. API/data-access restrictions matter.

For example, Sprout Social explicitly says its YouTube listening does not include comments in keyword listening, while its connected TikTok accounts can provide comments on owned videos and @mentions. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

So if YouTube comments are a hard requirement, I'd favor Brandwatch over Sprout for this particular project.

Other options

• brand24.com — easier/lighter-weight option for tracking keywords and mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the broader web. Good if you don't need enterprise-grade dashboards. Brandwatch
• sproutsocial.com — excellent if the creator also needs publishing, engagement management, analytics and social listening in one system, but its YouTube comment limitation makes it less suitable for your exact requirement. Sprout Social Sprout Social Support
• meltwater.com — worth considering if you also want broader media/news/blog monitoring in addition to social. Sprout Social

Bottom line: For a creator-focused “show me everywhere people are talking about this person/content” dashboard, I'd shortlist Brandwatch first, Brand24 second.

If you tell me roughly how big the creator is (e.g. 100K vs 10M followers) and whether you need historical data, I can narrow this down to the best 3 tools by coverage + price + API access.

Other options

If your requirement is specifically “one place to aggregate keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments for a creator,” I’d look at Brandwatch first.

🥇 Best fit: Brandwatch

Brandwatch’s Listen product can monitor Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in the same listening environment. It supports searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and creator/brand mentions. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.comsocial-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

The important part for your use case:

• Instagram: can track public posts using specific hashtags, plus data from connected/owned Instagram accounts, including comments and account mentions. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• TikTok: can capture mentions of a connected account in videos, comments, and replies, as well as track verified brand hashtags. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• YouTube: includes YouTube comments in its listening data. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• You can build Boolean searches around combinations like "CreatorName" OR "#CreatorName" OR "product name" and then analyze volume, sentiment, trends, etc. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

One caveat: social platforms restrict what third-party tools can access. For example, Brandwatch's TikTok monitoring has different coverage depending on whether the account is connected, and Instagram hashtag data is limited to public posts. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

🥈 Sprout Social is another good option

Sprout Social also has cross-platform listening for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Its TikTok listening includes video comments and mentions, while Instagram supports hashtag listening. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.comsproutsocial.com

But there's a significant catch for your exact requirement: Sprout says its YouTube listening brings in video descriptions, tags, and titles—not YouTube comments. support.sproutsocial.com So I wouldn't choose it if YouTube comments are a hard requirement.

My recommendation

I'd choose Brandwatch if the goal is essentially “give me a searchable feed of everything people are saying about this creator/content across these three platforms.”

If you're looking for something lighter/cheaper than Brandwatch specifically for an individual creator (rather than an enterprise brand), I can also find 5–10 tools that are more creator-focused and compare pricing, API access, historical data, and whether they actually capture Reels/TikTok/YouTube comments.

If your main goal is “tell me everywhere people are talking about this creator, across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, based on hashtags + keywords”, I’d start with brand24.com.

Best fit: Brand24

It’s a social-listening tool rather than just a social analytics dashboard. You can create a project around a creator’s name, @handle, branded hashtags, campaign hashtags, and keywords, then aggregate mentions into one feed. It supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube/video sources. Brand24 Brand24 Help Center

Particularly relevant for your use case:

• Instagram Reels: Brand24 can monitor Reels containing a searched hashtag and Reels where the creator/profile is pinned. Brand24 Help Center
• TikTok: It monitors keyword/hashtag mentions and can surface relevant interactions. Brand24
• YouTube: It can capture keyword mentions in video metadata and comments; Brand24 also has a newer capability for detecting spoken mentions inside YouTube videos. Brand24 Help Center
• Filtering: You can filter by source, date, interactions, sentiment, etc., which is useful if you're trying to turn a huge mention stream into creator insights. Brand24 Help Center
• Discovery: It can surface trending/related hashtags and influential authors around a topic. Brand24

One important caveat

If by “YouTube comments” you mean every comment on a creator's own videos, rather than comments/posts that contain your tracked keywords, I'd also evaluate brandwatch.com. Brandwatch's Listen product explicitly includes YouTube comments and supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as sources. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch

My pick: Brand24 if you're building a creator-monitoring workflow and want something relatively straightforward. Brandwatch if you're doing this at agency/enterprise scale or need sophisticated historical analysis and audience research.

If you tell me whether you're monitoring one creator, dozens of creators, or thousands, I can narrow this down to the best 3 tools—including cheaper options and tools with APIs.

Yes. Brandwatch is probably the closest fit if your goal is true cross-platform social listening rather than just managing the creator’s accounts.

My pick: brandwatch.com

Brandwatch's Listen product can aggregate mentions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and lets you build searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and the creator/brand. Importantly, it can ingest YouTube comments, whereas some competing tools only ingest video titles/descriptions. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

For a creator, you could build queries around:

• Creator name + variations
• @creatorhandle
• Branded hashtags
• Campaign hashtags
• Product names
• Recurring phrases/memes associated with the creator
• Competitor/peer names
• Specific topics you want to monitor

Brandwatch can also track public Instagram hashtag posts and, when the creator's accounts are connected, additional Instagram/TikTok mention and comment data. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

A cheaper/simpler alternative: sproutsocial.com

Sprout Social's Listening product is worth considering if you're already using it for social management. It supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube listening, plus keyword/hashtag queries. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social

But there's an important catch: Sprout currently says its YouTube listening data is video descriptions/titles, not comments, so it doesn't fully satisfy your requirement. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

What I'd choose

So if YouTube comments are a hard requirement, I'd start with Brandwatch.

If you're building this for one individual creator rather than a brand, though, there may be much lighter/cheaper creator-focused tools—or even an API-based setup—that would make more sense than enterprise Brandwatch. If you tell me roughly how many creators/accounts and how many mentions per month you need to monitor, I can recommend 3–5 options by price and complexity.

If the key requirement is aggregating mentions across Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments for a specific creator, I’d look at Brandwatch first.

My pick: brandwatch.com

Brandwatch’s Listen product can monitor Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube alongside other sources, and lets you build searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and mentions. Brandwatch Help Center Brandwatch Help Center

For a creator, you could build something like:

• Creator name / variations of their name
• @creatorhandle
• Branded hashtags
• Recurring campaign hashtags
• Product names or catchphrases associated with the creator
• Competitor/peer creator names
• Sentiment or topic filters

Important caveat: the exact data you get differs by network. Brandwatch says its TikTok connected-account monitoring can capture mentions from videos, comments, and replies, while Instagram hashtag tracking covers public posts/media. Brandwatch Help Center YouTube is included as a listening source, but you should verify with Brandwatch sales/support that the specific YouTube comment-level data you need is available under the plan/data source you're considering.

A cheaper/easier alternative: Brand24

brand24.com is worth testing if you don't need enterprise-grade listening. It monitors keywords/mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other sources and provides mention volume, sentiment, influence, and alerts. Brandwatch

One I'd not choose for this exact requirement: Sprout Social

sproutsocial.com looks attractive because it covers Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, but there's a significant limitation: Sprout's YouTube listening currently does not include comments—it pulls YouTube video descriptions/titles/tags instead. Its connected TikTok sources can include video comments, and Instagram can include comments on owned posts. Sprout Social Support Sprout Social Support

Bottom line:
Brandwatch → best fit if comprehensive cross-platform listening is the priority.
Brand24 → best place to start if you're a solo creator/small team and want something simpler.

If you tell me roughly how many creators you need to monitor and whether you need historical data/export/API access, I can narrow this down to the 3 best tools and compare their actual coverage of Reels + TikTok comments + YouTube comments.

Yes — Brand24 is probably the closest fit for what you’re describing.

It can create a monitoring project around a creator’s name, @handle, keywords, and hashtags, then aggregate mentions across Instagram/Reels, TikTok, and YouTube into one dashboard. Brand24 specifically says it monitors TikTok and Instagram Reels in real time and supports hashtag/keyword tracking. brand24.comhelp.brand24.com

Why I'd pick Brand24

• Instagram + Reels: tracks public posts/Reels containing your keywords or hashtags. brand24.comhelp.brand24.com
• TikTok: tracks keyword mentions and can monitor mentions in videos. brand24.com
• YouTube: monitors YouTube mentions and can surface keyword mentions in video metadata/comments. help.brand24.com
• One unified mentions feed: you can filter by source, keyword, date, sentiment, etc. help.brand24.com
• Useful for creators: you can track things like @creator, "Creator Name", #CreatorName, campaign hashtags, product names, recurring catchphrases, etc.
• It also gives you mention volume, reach, sentiment, influential authors, trending hashtags, and spike detection, rather than simply dumping raw comments into a spreadsheet. brand24.com

One important caveat

If your requirement is specifically:

"Give me every comment containing X across my creator's Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos, ideally including the actual comment text and commenter, in a database/API."

I'd also evaluate Brandwatch. It's substantially more enterprise-oriented, but its Listen product explicitly supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, including YouTube comments and TikTok videos/comments/replies for connected accounts. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

My recommendation: start with Brand24 if you're an individual creator or small team; investigate Brandwatch if you're building a more serious audience-intelligence system or need API/data-export capabilities at scale.

If you tell me whether you need comments on the creator's own videos only, or mentions anywhere on the platforms, I can narrow this down to the 3–5 best tools and compare coverage, pricing, API access, and whether they actually capture comment text.

Yes. For that exact use case, I’d look at Brandwatch Listen first.

My top picks

1. Brandwatch Listen — best overall

• Tracks Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in one listening environment, plus web/forums/etc. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• You can create searches around a creator's name, handle, keywords, phrases, and hashtags.
• Particularly useful if you want to aggregate mentions about a creator rather than just monitor their own accounts.
• Can analyze sentiment, trends, volume, and spikes rather than simply dumping comments into a feed.
• Brandwatch says its mentions include public examples from posts and comments where available. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

Important caveat: social-platform APIs impose limits. For example, Brandwatch's connected-source functionality can give you richer data from accounts you authenticate, while public-source coverage varies by network. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

2. Sprout Social — best if you're also managing the creator's accounts
Sprout's Listening can monitor keywords/hashtags across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, but there is a significant catch: its YouTube listening currently covers video titles, descriptions and tags—not YouTube comments. support.sproutsocial.com

For connected accounts, however, Sprout can collect comments on owned Instagram and TikTok content, including TikTok video comments. support.sproutsocial.com

If your requirement is literally:

Creator X → collect every relevant mention/keyword/hashtag appearing in Instagram Reels + TikToks + YouTube comments → one searchable database

I'd choose Brandwatch over Sprout.

One thing I'd verify with the sales team before buying is exactly what portion of YouTube comments and Instagram/TikTok Reel comments are accessible for your particular creator/account setup. The platforms' APIs make "all comments everywhere" surprisingly difficult.

If you tell me whether this is for one creator, ~10 creators, or hundreds, I can narrow it down to the best 3 tools by price + coverage, including cheaper options like Brand24/Keyhole.

For your exact use case, I’d look at Phyllo first.

Phyllo offers cross-platform social listening that can track keywords, hashtags, and mentions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, plus comment-level analysis. It’s particularly suited to building a creator-specific monitoring workflow rather than just measuring the creator’s own posts. www.getphyllo.commentionwatch.comcommentgrid.comsupport.sproutsocial.com

My shortlist

MentionWatch is probably the simplest if you don't want to build anything: it explicitly supports YouTube, Instagram and TikTok keyword/hashtag monitoring, with plans starting around $29/month according to its current site. mentionwatch.com

CommentGrid is worth considering if your primary requirement is "show me every comment containing these terms across my creator's videos." It supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and lets you filter/analyze exported comments. commentgrid.com

One important distinction: Sprout Social isn't a great fit for this particular requirement. Its current documentation says YouTube listening does not include comments, while TikTok/Instagram coverage has platform-specific limitations. support.sproutsocial.com

What I'd choose

• Need an API / want to build this into a creator dashboard → Phyllo
• Want a ready-made monitoring product → MentionWatch
• Mostly care about harvesting and analyzing comments → CommentGrid
• Want UGC + social listening for a marketing team → EmbedSocial

If you tell me whether this is for one creator or an agency managing many creators, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, historical data, API access, comment coverage, and whether they can track mentions of the creator's name/handle even when they're not @mentioned.

For your exact use case, I’d start with Brand24.

It’s a social-listening/mention-monitoring tool that can aggregate keywords, hashtags, and creator/brand mentions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube into one dashboard. brand24.combrand24.com

Why Brand24 fits

• Instagram: tracks public posts and Reels containing monitored hashtags, plus certain profile/mention data. help.brand24.com
• TikTok: monitors TikTok mentions and engagement, including comments depending on the data source/access available. brand24.com
• YouTube: monitors YouTube mentions and can collect YouTube comments through its data providers. help.brand24.com
• Keyword + hashtag monitoring: you can build projects around a creator's name, @handle, recurring phrases, campaign hashtags, etc., rather than only monitoring a brand. brand24.combrand24.com
• One dashboard: mentions can be filtered by source, date, sentiment, popularity, author, and tags, which is useful if you're trying to turn thousands of comments into recurring audience themes. help.brand24.com

Important caveat: if your requirement specifically means every comment on the creator's Instagram Reels + every TikTok comment + every YouTube comment, API/platform restrictions mean no third-party tool can necessarily guarantee complete coverage. Brand24's Instagram integration, for example, has specific limitations around comments—it may collect the post associated with a hashtag in a comment rather than the comment itself. help.brand24.com

One alternative worth considering

Brandwatch is the heavier-duty option if this is for a large creator, agency, or research operation. Its Listen product covers Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and specifically says it collects YouTube videos and comments; TikTok can include mentions in videos, comments, and replies. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

I would not pick Sprout Social for this particular requirement: although it supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube listening, its current documentation says YouTube listening brings in video descriptions/tags/titles not comments, which is a dealbreaker if comments are central to your analysis. support.sproutsocial.com

My recommendation:
Brand24 → best balance for an individual creator/creator team.
Brandwatch → better if you need enterprise-scale historical data, deeper social research, or API/data access.

If you tell me roughly how many followers/comments the creator gets per month and whether you need historical data vs. only new mentions, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools and compare pricing/features.

If your key requirement is one dashboard that aggregates a creator’s mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, I’d look at Brandwatch first.

Best fit: Brandwatch Listen

Brandwatch Listen

It can monitor Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and lets you build searches around keywords, phrases, hashtags, and creator/brand terms. Brandwatch says its Listen product collects mentions from posts, comments, and other online conversations, with YouTube videos/comments coming through its data providers. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.comsocial-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

For a creator, you could build queries around things like:

• "CreatorName"
• "@CreatorHandle"
• "CreatorName" OR "@CreatorHandle"
• branded hashtags
• recurring campaign hashtags
• product names
• specific catchphrases or topics

Important caveat: platform APIs and data-access rules mean "all mentions" isn't literally all public activity on every network. For example, Brandwatch requires authentication for some owned TikTok sources, and its TikTok coverage includes mentions in videos, comments, and replies. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

Another strong option: Sprout Social Listening

Sprout Social Listening

Sprout is worth considering if this is primarily for a creator/team that also needs publishing, community management, and analytics. It supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube listening, but there's an important limitation: Sprout's YouTube listening does not include YouTube comments; it primarily brings in video titles/descriptions. support.sproutsocial.com

So for your exact requirement, I'd rank them:

\*Subject to what each platform exposes through its APIs.

My recommendation: Brandwatch if the goal is "tell me everywhere people are talking about this creator/keyword and aggregate it." It is considerably closer to a true social-listening/research product than a normal social media management dashboard. Brandwatch also offers historical data, sentiment analysis, Boolean queries, alerts, and exploration down to individual mentions. www.brandwatch.com

If you tell me whether this is for one creator or an agency managing many creators, and roughly what your monthly budget is, I can narrow it down to 3–5 tools that specifically support Instagram Reels + TikTok + YouTube comments, including cheaper alternatives to Brandwatch.

For a creator trying to aggregate hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments, I’d look at tools in three categories depending on whether you want social listening, creator analytics, or a custom data pipeline.

Best all-around options

If you mainly care about comments and audience insights

• CommentFinder — useful for searching public comments across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram by keyword, phrase, or username. Good for finding recurring audience questions and content ideas. commentfinder.app
• ExportComments — exports comments from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X into CSV/JSON and can help with sentiment/topic analysis workflows. exportcomments.xyzwww.creatorcrawl.com

If you’re technical or want your own dashboard

• Apify — good building block. It has actors for Instagram Reels, comments, hashtags, and other social data extraction. For example, its Instagram tools can extract Reels, captions, hashtags, mentions, engagement metrics, and comments. apify.com
• SocialKit — API-focused option with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube data endpoints including comments, hashtag searches, and creator data. www.socialkit.dev

My recommendation by creator size/use case

Solo creator / small team

• Start with CommentFinder + Sprout Social
• Goal: “What are people asking? What topics are appearing repeatedly?”

Growing creator with sponsorships

• Use CreatorCrawl or Brandwatch
• Track:
  • your name/handle mentions
  • branded keywords
  • competitor mentions
  • recurring audience pain points

Creator building an AI content system

• Use CreatorCrawl or Apify + your own database
• Store:
  • keyword
  • platform
  • post URL
  • creator
  • comment text
  • sentiment
  • engagement
  • date
  • detected topics

One thing to watch: many “social listening” tools are stronger on public posts than on full TikTok/Instagram comment coverage because platform access varies. If comments are the main signal you care about, prioritize tools that explicitly mention comment/reply retrieval rather than just hashtag tracking. exportcomments.xyzwww.creatorcrawl.com

If you tell me whether this is for one creator account, an influencer agency, or a SaaS product you’re building, I can narrow it down.

For this use case, I’d start with Brandwatch.

It’s one of the better fits if you want a creator-level social listening dashboard rather than simply scheduling/analytics:

• Instagram: tracks public posts using monitored hashtags, plus data from connected Instagram accounts. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• TikTok: can track mentions of your handle in videos, comments, and replies, as well as verified brand hashtags. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• YouTube: includes YouTube videos and comments through its data providers. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• Keywords/phrases: you can build Boolean searches around a creator's name, show name, catchphrases, products, hashtags, etc. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• It also gives you sentiment, mention volume, trends, alerts, and the ability to drill into individual mentions. www.brandwatch.com

A cheaper/easier alternative: Brand24

Brand24 is probably the one I'd test first if you're an individual creator or small team. It monitors keywords across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other sources in one dashboard. brand24.com

Its Instagram integration specifically supports Reels containing your monitored hashtag, while its YouTube tracker lets you view YouTube data alongside Instagram and TikTok mentions. help.brand24.com

My recommendation:

One important caveat: “YouTube mentions” isn't necessarily the same as every YouTube comment matching a keyword, and Instagram/TikTok APIs impose limits on what third-party tools can collect. So if your requirement is specifically “give me every comment on my Reels, TikToks and YouTube videos containing X”, I'd verify that exact workflow before buying.

If you tell me whether this is for one creator or an agency managing multiple creators, I can narrow it down to the 3 best tools, including pricing and exactly what each can/can't pull from Reels/TikTok/YouTube comments.

For your use case, I’d start with Brand24.

It’s particularly well suited if the goal is “show me everywhere people are talking about this creator / their content” rather than managing the creator’s social accounts.

Why Brand24 fits

• Instagram + TikTok + YouTube: It monitors mentions across all three, alongside broader web sources. www.brandwatch.com
• Keyword/hashtag monitoring: You can create projects around a creator name, handle, show name, catchphrases, campaign hashtags, product names, etc.
• Aggregated mention feed: Instead of checking Reels, TikTok and YouTube separately, you get the conversations in one place.
• Sentiment + volume: Useful for seeing whether a topic is taking off and whether the conversation is positive/negative.
• Influence: It scores mentions/sources so you can distinguish a random comment from something coming from a high-impact account. www.brandwatch.com
• Alerts: Useful if you're monitoring a creator continuously and want to know when a keyword suddenly spikes.

One important caveat

If by “mentions” you specifically mean every comment underneath the creator's Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos, I'd look more closely at Brandwatch rather than assuming Brand24 provides complete comment-level coverage.

Brandwatch Listen supports Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and its current documentation explicitly says it can collect TikTok mentions from videos, comments and replies and YouTube videos and comments. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

Brandwatch also supports Instagram hashtag tracking and TikTok brand-hashtag tracking, although platform/API restrictions mean coverage isn't necessarily equivalent across networks. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

My pick by use case

If you tell me roughly how many followers/views the creator has and whether you need all comments or just mentions of specific keywords/hashtags, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 tools and their current pricing.

If the goal is one dashboard that aggregates keyword/hashtag mentions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, I’d look at these:

Best fit: Brandwatch

Brandwatch is probably the strongest match if you want true social listening, rather than just managing the creator's own accounts. Its Listen product supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as sources and lets you search/aggregate mentions across them. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com

The important caveat: YouTube comment coverage is not equivalent to Instagram/TikTok listening in every tool, so I'd specifically verify the exact YouTube-comment use case in a demo.

More creator-friendly: Sprout Social

Sprout is easier to use and combines publishing, engagement, and listening. It supports Instagram and TikTok comments/mentions, but its own documentation says its YouTube listening does not include comments—it pulls YouTube descriptions, tags, and titles instead. sproutsocial.com

So I would not choose Sprout if YouTube comments are a hard requirement.

Worth considering for a smaller creator: MentionWatch

MentionWatch advertises monitoring across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X, with keyword/hashtag tracking and a creator-analysis use case. Its current advertised Starter plan is $29/month for up to 3,000 mentions/month and three keywords/hashtags. mentionwatch.com

My recommendation:
If this is for a serious creator/agency and you need reliable cross-platform listening → start with Brandwatch. If you're looking for something lightweight and inexpensive → test MentionWatch first.

One important distinction: if by "mentions" you specifically mean every comment containing a keyword/hashtag on the creator's own Reels/TikToks/YouTube videos, rather than public mentions of the creator anywhere on those platforms, the best tool may be different. I can narrow it down to 3–5 tools that specifically ingest the actual comments, including approximate pricing and API/export capabilities.

Yes — but there’s an important catch: very few tools can truly aggregate all three platforms at the comment level.

My top pick: Sprout Social

Sprout Social is probably the closest mainstream option for what you're describing. Its Social Listening product can track:

• Instagram: hashtags, public posts/Reels, and comments/mentions on connected accounts
• TikTok: brand hashtags, comments on your videos, and @mentions in captions/comments
• YouTube: YouTube content and influencer monitoring

It also gives you query-based keyword tracking, sentiment/insight tools, and a centralized listening dashboard. support.sproutsocial.com

However, there's a major limitation for your exact use case: Sprout's current documentation says its YouTube listening data does not include YouTube comments—it primarily captures video descriptions/titles/tags. support.sproutsocial.com

So if your requirement is literally:

"Find every time people mention [creator/keyword/hashtag] in Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments, and put it into one searchable feed."

I would not buy Sprout without testing that exact workflow first.

What I'd evaluate instead

\*Subject to each platform's API/data-access limitations.

The underlying problem is that platform APIs impose very different restrictions, so a tool advertising "social listening across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube" doesn't necessarily mean it searches comments across all three. Sprout is a good example of this distinction. support.sproutsocial.com

If this is for a creator rather than a brand

I'd actually look for a creator intelligence / audience listening tool, rather than a traditional brand-monitoring suite.

If you tell me (1) the creator's approximate follower size, (2) whether you need mentions anywhere on the platforms or only on their own content, and (3) your budget, I can research the current market and give you 3–5 tools that most closely match this exact workflow, including cheaper/scrappy options.

Yes. If your goal is specifically “tell me everywhere people are talking about this creator/topic, including hashtags, keywords, Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments,” I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Pendulum

Pendulum is probably closest to what you're describing if you're monitoring a creator rather than simply managing your own social accounts. It says it analyzes mentions across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, podcasts, and more, including text, video, audio, and visual mentions. www.pendulumintel.com

If you primarily need literal comment-level monitoring, I'd investigate Respondology Discover as well. It can pull comment data from public handles on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and other networks and provide theme/sentiment analysis. respondology.com

One important caveat

The hard part is Instagram comments on other people's Reels. Platform API restrictions mean many conventional social-listening products can track @mentions/hashtags and connected-account comments but cannot freely search every public Instagram comment for an arbitrary keyword. www.reddit.com

If what you actually want is something like:

Creator = MrBeast
Track = “MrBeast”, “Jimmy”, “Beast Games”, “#mrbeast”
→ return every relevant TikTok, Instagram Reel, and YouTube video/comment, deduplicate them, and show volume/sentiment/trends.

Then I'd look at Phyllo if you're willing to use an API rather than a SaaS dashboard. Its Social Listening API explicitly supports cross-platform tracking of keywords, hashtags, and competitors across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, etc. www.getphyllo.com

If you tell me whether this is for (1) your own creator account, (2) monitoring another creator, or (3) building a SaaS/product around this, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing + API/data-access limitations.

For a creator who wants to aggregate hashtag + keyword mentions across Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube comments, I’d look at social listening tools rather than normal analytics dashboards. The best choice depends on whether you care more about finding mentions everywhere or understanding your own audience comments.

Best overall: Brandwatch

Best for: serious creators, agencies, creator managers

• Tracks keywords, brand names, campaign terms, and hashtags across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, news, and more. social-media-management-help.brandwatch.com
• Strong Boolean search (e.g., "creator name" OR "product name" OR "#campaign").
• Good sentiment analysis and trend discovery.
• Useful if you manage multiple creators or want to spot emerging topics.

Downside: expensive and probably overkill for a solo creator.

Best creator/team-friendly option: Sprout Social

Best for: creators who also need scheduling + inbox management

• Social Listening lets you monitor keywords, hashtags, brands, industries, and conversations. support.sproutsocial.com
• Combines publishing, analytics, engagement, and listening in one platform.
• Supports Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube integrations for connected profiles. support.sproutsocial.com

Caveat: its listening capabilities vary by network. For example, TikTok listening is strongest around connected profiles and comments/mentions tied to those profiles rather than a totally open firehose of all TikTok content. support.sproutsocial.com

Best lightweight hashtag/campaign tracker: Keyhole

Best for: tracking a hashtag, launch, sponsorship, or viral moment

Good for:

• campaign hashtags
• influencer campaigns
• seeing who is driving conversations
• tracking performance over time

It’s simpler than enterprise tools.

Best if you mainly care about your own comments: native + AI workflow

For a YouTuber/TikTok/Instagram creator trying to answer:

• “What are people asking for?”
• “What should my next video be?”
• “What complaints keep appearing?”

A lighter workflow can work better:

• Export/download comments where possible
• Feed them into an AI analysis workflow
• Cluster into:
  • content ideas
  • FAQs
  • objections
  • audience language
  • recurring requests

Enterprise listening platforms often focus on brand monitoring rather than turning your own comments into content strategy. www.reddit.com

My recommendation by creator size

One important question: do you mean mentions of the creator’s name/brand anywhere on those platforms (social listening), or analyzing comments on the creator’s own videos (audience insights)? The best tools differ quite a bit.

Yes. For your exact use case, I’d start with Brand24.

It’s one of the better fits if the goal is “tell me whenever people are talking about this creator/topic across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and let me analyze the conversation in one dashboard.” Brand24 currently supports monitoring across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, including keyword/mention monitoring and sentiment/analytics. Its 2026 documentation specifically describes monitoring TikTok videos and comments and YouTube mentions and comments. brand24.com

How I’d rank the options

\* Comment-level coverage varies by platform and data-access rules, so I'd verify the exact comment sources during a trial.

One important caveat: no tool can literally scrape every comment on every public Instagram Reel/TikTok/YouTube video. Platform APIs and access policies create gaps. For example, Emplifi explicitly says Instagram listening generally doesn't include comments on third-party Reels, while it can collect comments on accounts you own/monitor. docs.emplifi.io

If this is specifically for a creator

I'd configure the tool around a creator's:

• @handle
• creator name
• common misspellings
• branded hashtags
• recurring catchphrases
• product/company names associated with them
• competitor/alternative names
• keywords likely to appear in comments, not just captions

Then aggregate into something like:

Creator → Platform → Video → Mention/comment → Keyword → Sentiment → Engagement → Date → URL

That gives you much more useful intelligence than a conventional social-media dashboard.

If you tell me whether you're trying to monitor (1) mentions of the creator, (2) mentions of a brand/product in the creator's content, or (3) specific keywords appearing in other people's comments, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 tools that actually support that workflow.

If your goal is aggregating hashtag mentions, keyword mentions, and audience conversations across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube comments, there isn't a single perfect tool because Instagram and TikTok restrict third-party access to some data. The best choice depends on whether you're a solo creator or a larger team.

Here's how I'd rank them:

If you're a creator (not a brand)

I'd recommend OWL.

It can:

• Search keywords across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
• Find creators discussing a topic
• Analyze sentiment
• Rank influential accounts
• Surface trending conversations in near real time owlook.ioexportcomments.xyz

This is closer to "Google Alerts for social video."

If you want to mine comments

If your goal is:

"Show me every comment mentioning 'AI editing' or '#booktok' across my videos."

then a comment-specific tool works better.

Good options include:

• ExportComments — exports comments from Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, then analyzes topics and sentiment. exportcomments.xyz
• ZocialComment — similar workflow with CSV/JSON exports for deeper analysis. zocialcomment.com

These are especially useful if you plan to run your own AI analysis in ChatGPT, Claude, or spreadsheets.

If budget isn't a concern

Brandwatch remains one of the strongest social listening platforms because it combines:

• keyword monitoring
• hashtag tracking
• sentiment analysis
• trend detection
• competitor monitoring
• influencer discovery

across the major social platforms. It's designed for organizations that need comprehensive monitoring rather than just post scheduling. www.dashsocial.com

One important limitation

No third-party tool has unrestricted access to every Instagram Reel or TikTok comment. Meta and TikTok limit API access, so even enterprise platforms have gaps, especially for comments on other creators' content. The most complete coverage is generally available for your own connected accounts, while monitoring public conversations elsewhere is subject to platform restrictions. www.dashsocial.comwww.reddit.com

For most creators with under 1 million followers, my recommendation would be:

1. OWL for cross-platform keyword and trend monitoring.
2. ExportComments to analyze comments from your own videos.
3. Connect both to ChatGPT or another AI tool to automatically cluster recurring questions, feature requests, content ideas, and audience sentiment. This combination gives you many of the insights of enterprise social listening platforms at a much lower cost.

If your goal is one dashboard that aggregates keyword, hashtag, and comment conversations across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, there are a handful of strong options. The main caveat is that Meta and TikTok API restrictions limit what third-party tools can access, especially comments on content you don't own. No tool can reliably collect every public comment across those platforms. www.reddit.com

Here's how I'd rank them:

My top recommendation: Keyhole

Keyhole is one of the more mature social listening platforms for creators and brands. It lets you create trackers around:

• hashtags
• keywords
• creator names
• brand names
• competitors

and aggregates mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, blogs, and other sources with dashboards for trends, sentiment, and top posts. help.keyhole.cowww.reddit.com

It's a solid fit if you want to answer questions like:

• "How often is my creator name mentioned?"
• "Which hashtags are trending?"
• "What topics keep appearing around my videos?"

Best if comments matter most: BrandBastion

If your workflow revolves around audience feedback, BrandBastion is particularly strong because it combines:

• Instagram comments (including Reels)
• TikTok comments
• YouTube comments
• AI sentiment
• keyword detection
• moderation
• reporting

It was built for community management rather than just analytics. www.brandbastion.comwww.reddit.com

Best for trend research: Pendulum

Pendulum goes beyond captions and hashtags by analyzing:

• spoken words in videos
• on-screen text
• captions
• comments
• visual mentions

This makes it useful if creators talk about a brand without tagging it. www.pendulumintel.com

Best value: OWL

OWL is a newer AI-first option that monitors Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X for keywords and provides:

• sentiment analysis
• account ranking
• real-time alerts
• trending conversations

It's often more affordable than enterprise platforms. owlook.io

One important limitation

If you're expecting something like:

"Show me every comment on every Instagram Reel anywhere that contains 'CreatorName'"

no legitimate platform can do that consistently because Instagram and TikTok restrict third-party access to comments on other creators' content. Most tools instead aggregate:

• public posts
• captions
• hashtags
• mentions
• comments on connected accounts
• publicly accessible conversations where platform APIs allow them. www.reddit.com

If you tell me your use case—for example:

• tracking your own creator brand
• finding UGC
• monitoring competitors
• campaign reporting
• finding sponsorship mentions

I can narrow this to the 2–3 tools that best match your budget and workflow.

If your goal is aggregating hashtags, keywords, and audience conversations across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube (including comments where supported), there are a few strong options depending on whether you're an individual creator or a brand.

For an individual creator (my top pick)

BrandBastion

• Aggregates Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube engagement into one inbox.
• Tracks:
  • hashtags
  • keyword mentions
  • @mentions
  • comments
  • sentiment
• Works well if you mainly want to understand what your audience is saying and respond efficiently. www.brandbastion.com

If you want "Google Alerts for social media"

OWL

• Enter any keyword (your name, product, catchphrase, etc.).
• Searches TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X.
• Ranks posts and creators mentioning it.
• Includes AI sentiment analysis and real-time monitoring. owlook.io

If you're technical or building your own workflow

Phyllo Social Listening API

• API-first.
• Tracks keywords, hashtags, competitors, and public mentions across multiple platforms.
• Great for feeding data into Airtable, Notion, or a custom AI agent. www.getphyllo.com

One limitation to know

No third-party tool has unrestricted access to every Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube comment because each platform limits what its APIs expose. The strongest tools combine official APIs with public-content indexing, so coverage varies by platform and content type. Be cautious of vendors claiming they can capture all comments or private engagement everywhere. www.getphyllo.com

If your use case is specifically:

• finding recurring video ideas from comments,
• tracking your own brand mentions,
• discovering trending hashtags,
• or monitoring competitors,

I can narrow the recommendation further, since the best tool differs for each of those goals.

If your goal is aggregating hashtag mentions, keyword mentions, and audience conversations across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube, there are only a handful of tools that do this well. The biggest caveat is that Meta and TikTok API restrictions mean no third-party tool can reliably access every public comment or untagged mention everywhere. Enterprise platforms work around this with licensed data sources and AI, but there are still platform-imposed limitations. www.pendulumintel.com

Here's how I'd rank them:

For a creator specifically

If you're looking for something that answers questions like:

• "What keywords keep appearing in comments?"
• "What hashtags are driving discussion?"
• "What questions do viewers ask across all my platforms?"
• "What should I make my next video about?"

I'd recommend Pendulum first. It was built around video-first social listening instead of traditional Twitter-style monitoring, and it analyzes captions, audio, visuals, and text together across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. www.pendulumintel.com

If you're a solo creator and want something less enterprise-focused, OWL is probably the best value. It lets you monitor keywords across multiple platforms, ranks influential accounts, and performs AI sentiment analysis without the complexity of a large social listening suite. owlook.io

If you own the creator's accounts

If these are your own Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube channels, another approach is often better:

1. Export comments regularly (via each platform's APIs or export tools).
2. Store everything in a database or spreadsheet.
3. Use AI to cluster:
   • recurring questions
   • feature requests
   • compliments
   • complaints
   • emerging topics
   • hashtag usage

This gives much richer insights than keyword alerts alone and avoids some of the limitations of third-party monitoring.

If you're comfortable with a lightweight no-code workflow, you can even automate this with exports plus an AI summarizer to generate weekly reports of trending themes.

If your goal is to aggregate hashtag mentions, keyword mentions, and comment discussions across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube for a creator or brand, there are a few standout options. The biggest limitation is that Meta and TikTok APIs restrict access to comments and untagged mentions on content you don't own, so no tool can capture absolutely everything. The best platforms combine official APIs with broader social listening where possible. www.reddit.comwww.brandbastion.com

Here's how I'd rank them:

Best overall: BrandBastion

If you're monitoring your own creator brand, BrandBastion is one of the strongest all-around choices because it combines:

• Instagram Reels comments
• TikTok comments
• YouTube comments
• hashtag monitoring
• @mentions
• keyword tracking
• sentiment analysis
• unified inbox for replying and reporting. www.reddit.comwww.brandbastion.com

Best for discovering conversations

infludata is particularly strong if you're trying to answer questions like:

• "Who is talking about me?"
• "Which hashtags are growing?"
• "What keywords appear alongside my brand?"
• "Which creators are mentioning this topic?"

It breaks results down by Reels, TikToks, Shorts, hashtags, mentions, co-hashtags, creators, and engagement, making it useful for campaign analysis. infludata.com

Best for AI-powered trend detection

Pendulum goes beyond text by analyzing:

• video speech
• on-screen text
• captions
• comments
• images

This is useful when people mention a creator without tagging them directly. www.pendulumintel.com

Important limitation

If your requirement is:

"Find every time someone mentions my creator's name in any Instagram Reel comments or TikTok comments."

No third-party tool can guarantee that across all public content because platform APIs limit access to comments and untagged mentions on content owned by others. Tools can reliably monitor:

• your own accounts and comments,
• tracked hashtags,
• @mentions,
• public posts that match supported search methods,

but not every public comment everywhere. www.reddit.comwww.brandbastion.com

If you're building a workflow for a creator (rather than an enterprise brand), I'd recommend:

1. BrandBastion for community management and listening.
2. infludata for campaign, hashtag, and creator discovery.
3. Pendulum if you need deeper AI-powered monitoring of videos and narratives across platforms.
