Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Dovy, the maker of Insight Social.
I built this because I needed to do creator research on Instagram and
LinkedIn for another project, and every tool I tried had one of three
problems:
1. Priced per row — costs scaled with my data
2. Needed proxy/captcha infrastructure I didn't want to babysit
3. Only covered one platform — I'd need 4 different tools
The insight that turned into the product: I'm already logged into all
six platforms in my browser. Why pay someone else to log in for me on
a server? A Chrome extension can use the session I already have —
no auth, no proxies, and platforms don't flag it because it's just my
browser doing what it already does.
So Insight Social is that idea executed across 6 platforms: Facebook,
X / Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, and TikTok. Pick a source
(hashtag, profile, feed, search), pick what to extract (posts,
profiles, comments, followers), hit Scrape, export to CSV.
Pricing follows the same philosophy: 1 run = 1 scrape session, with
unlimited posts inside it. Free tier is 10 runs/month. Pro is $4.99/mo
for 300 runs. I never wanted a user to feel taxed per row.
How the build evolved:
• Started Facebook-only. Realized the plugin architecture was the real
product — each new platform took ~1 week instead of a rebuild.
• Originally tried clever DOM scraping. Switched to intercepting the
platforms' own GraphQL/JSON responses — way more reliable.
• Added scheduled scraping after users kept asking "can it just run
every Monday?"
Would love your feedback — what platform or page type should I add
next? 🙏
