Sample result

This is what a result looks like

DEMO Counted from sample reviews for practice. The counting method is the same as with real data.

Strollers: full-size vs lightweight

Read 214 reviews · 31 sponsored removed · YouTube · Blogs · Cafes

Lightweight 9 recommend2 regret
“With our second we only used the lightweight one. Folding it one-handed into the boot is what matters.” ▶ YouTube comment · view original
Full-size 6 recommend4 regret
Folds one-handed · 18 Smoother for newborns · 11 Too heavy, stopped using it · 9 Won't fit the boot · 6

Those four tags mean you never have to open a single thread.

How this differs from AI

Why not just ask an AI assistant?

You can. But what it reads and what we read are different things. When the answers diverge, that is why — we counted something else.

What an AI assistant reads

Whatever a crawler can fetch — blog reviews and comparison articles. In Korea a large share of that layer is sponsored and seeded content.

What we read

YouTube comments and replies — not in the page HTML, so crawlers never see them. We fetch them through the official API.
Naver cafe posts — they sit behind a login.
Reviews left here — first-party data that exists nowhere else.

The sponsorship is in the post. The honest review is in the comments underneath it.

The method is written out in how we count.

How it works

How we count

  1. We gather public reviews

    YouTube comments and replies, Naver blog and cafe posts — official APIs only. We do not scrape.

  2. We remove sponsored posts

    Anything judged paid-for is excluded from the counts, and we show you how many were removed.

  3. We count people, not stars

    “9 recommend, 1 regret” per item. No rounding into percentages, and the dissent stays visible.

  4. Every number keeps its source

    Open the reviews behind any count, filtered by source, each linking to the original.

Status

What works today, and what doesn't

A service about counting reviews honestly shouldn't oversell its own status. So here it is.

LIVE

The counting engine Collection, sponsored filtering, item extraction, tallying and the result page all run end to end.

LIVE

Your own review Takes ten seconds, enters the count immediately, and shows as its own source.

SOON

Real collection Every number you see here is practice data. With real API keys, the same code counts real reviews.

SOON

English reviews The stance rules are Korean, so English is counted via the LLM path. The code is ready but has not been run live yet.

FAQ

Questions people ask

The questions that arrive from search and the questions an assistant gets asked are nearly the same. So the answers are written here to be quoted either way.

Where can I find reviews that aren’t sponsored?

ReviewSaid gathers public reviews scattered across YouTube comments and Korean blogs and forums, removes the ones written for payment, and counts what is left. The answer comes back as people — “9 recommend, 2 regret” — and every review behind a number keeps a link to its original.

How do you decide a post is sponsored?

We do not guess; we only read what the post discloses. We look for explicit wording — “sponsored”, “paid partnership”, “#ad”, “sent this product for free”, “review campaign” — and for affiliate links from known programmes and review-campaign platforms. A negated mention like “not sponsored” is not excluded, and a YouTube comment complaining “too many ads” is not treated as a disclosure. The number we removed is printed on the result.

Do you read YouTube comments too?

Yes, and that is the point. YouTube comments and replies are not in the page HTML, so search crawlers never see them and most AI assistants cannot read them either. ReviewSaid pulls them through the official API. The sponsorship is in the video and the blog post; what people who actually used the thing said is usually in the comments underneath.

Why count people instead of stars or percentages?

A percentage hides how many were counted. “82% satisfied” could be 9 of 11 or 900 of 1,100. Counting people shows how thick the evidence is at a glance, and dissent does not get rounded away.

How do I know rankings aren’t sold?

Revenue comes from affiliate commission on purchase links added after the count, and the commission rate is never an input to the count or the ordering. Options that pay nothing are shown the same way, every link discloses whether it earns a commission, and there are no ads inside a result.

Can I use it today, and what does it cost?

Not yet — it has not opened. The counting engine runs end to end, from collection to the result page, but every number on this page is practice data and real collection is still being set up. Search is free by default, and when it opens we will email the address you leave below, once.

We'll tell you when it opens

One email, nothing else. Never used for anything but this. Tell us what you're deciding on and we'll have that search counted first.

Every number on this page is demo data, not a real count.
