Video Mood itself charges nothing; users bring their own OpenAI or OpenRouter API key and pay that provider directly, at roughly a few cents per video analyzed.
Use tool ↗About Video Mood
Video Mood takes a YouTube link, pulls the video and its comments, and produces a summary of both using GPT-4o, including a read on the overall comment sentiment, in about a minute. Instead of billing users directly, it runs on a bring-your-own-API-key model: you add an OpenAI or OpenRouter key and pay that provider directly, at a cost the maker describes as a few cents per video. Results can be shared with others as a link. It was built by an independent developer going by Sandu rather than a registered company, and there is no dedicated pricing page beyond the API-key setup.

Pros & cons of Video Mood
Video Mood is a small, single-purpose tool that is genuinely free to run since the only cost is the user's own API usage, which suits anyone comfortable pasting in an API key. It is a one-person project rather than a company product, so there is no support team, no roadmap commitment, and no guarantee it stays maintained.
Pros
- Genuinely free from the vendor's side; cost is only the user's own API usage
- Summarizes comment sentiment alongside the video content, not just the video
- Turnaround is about a minute per video
- Results can be shared as a link with others
Cons
- Requires the user to set up and pay for their own OpenAI or OpenRouter key
- Built and maintained by one independent developer, not a company with support
Best for
- Users who already have an OpenAI or OpenRouter API key and want to reuse it
- Researchers or creators wanting a quick read on both a video and its comment sentiment
- Anyone who prefers paying per-use over a subscription
Not for
- Users who do not want to manage their own API key and billing
- Teams needing a supported vendor rather than a solo side project
Watch out: Because it needs an API key, treat it like any third-party tool asking for a credential: use a key with usage limits set, not a primary production key.
