An Adlicio alternative, compared honestly
Adlicio and Comment Downloader do much the same job: collect customer comments and reviews, then rank them into ad angles, inside a web app, a Chrome extension or Claude and ChatGPT. The paid prices are the same, so the real differences are the free plan, the source list, the refund terms and a few plan-gated features.

What the reports look like
Both tools rank repeated themes and quote real customers; Comment Downloader links every finding to the quote and each quote to its post.
A Comment Downloader report opens with ranked ideas to test, then pains and desires, objections, buyer segments, hooks and short UGC scripts, plus warnings when a phrase reads like a health claim. You can ask for it in your market's language, for example German or Spanish. The method behind it is on the voice of customer analysis page.
Inside Claude and ChatGPT
Both connectors work in Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok and Le Chat.
Adlicio says a free account gets 3 Reddit research pulls and 5 Instagram pulls a week in its connector, and the full connector comes with a paid plan. The Comment Downloader connector at https://app.commentdownloader.com/mcp is free to connect, and the assistant asks your extension to collect in your own Chrome. See the Claude MCP setup and the pricing page.
