6 Tools to View Deleted Reddit Content (Compared)
A practical comparison of the tools that still work for viewing deleted Reddit posts and comments in 2026 — from free manual archive searches to paid multi-source recovery.
The landscape has changed
A few years ago, tools like Ceddit and Reveddit made viewing deleted Reddit content trivial. Reddit's 2023 API changes and pricing restructured the landscape — several popular tools shut down or went read-only. New tools emerged, and some archive-based approaches became the most reliable option. Here's what actually works today, ranked by reliability and coverage.
Quick summary
For most people, a multi-archive search gives the best chance of recovering deleted Reddit content. Individual free tools each have blind spots — combining them is the most reliable approach.
1. ViewDeletedReddit
Our tool searches PullPush, Wayback Machine, and other archives simultaneously from one query. It's a paid tool ($4.99 per search) that automates what would otherwise require checking multiple free archives manually.
- Best for: Users who want results without technical setup or manual archive checking
- Limitations: Paid per search; no free tier; coverage depends on underlying archives
- Works on: Deleted Reddit posts, comments, user histories, subreddit archives
2. PullPush
PullPush is the primary public Reddit archive still operating in 2026. Inspired by Pushshift, it indexes Reddit posts and comments across major subreddits and makes them searchable via API. You can query by username, subreddit, post ID, or date range — but you'll need to construct API calls yourself.
- Best for: Technical users who need free, programmatic access to Reddit archives
- Limitations: No GUI — requires API knowledge; coverage missing for low-traffic subreddits; won't recover content deleted before it was indexed
- Works on: Structured post/comment data; not full page snapshots
3. Wayback Machine (Internet Archive)
The Wayback Machine captures periodic snapshots of entire Reddit pages. If someone archived the specific URL before deletion, you can see the page exactly as it appeared — comments, formatting, and all. Unlike PullPush, it preserves full page context, but coverage is unpredictable.
- Best for: Viewing historical Reddit threads with full page context; content from before 2021
- Limitations: Only works if someone manually archived the URL; no structured search; spotty coverage outside popular threads
- Works on: Full page snapshots; less useful for individual comments
4. Reveddit
Reveddit was one of the most popular tools for seeing removed Reddit comments. Post-2023 API changes, it operates in a limited capacity — it can show you which comments or posts were removed from your own threads, but can no longer retrieve the content of most deleted posts.
- Best for: Moderators checking what's been removed from their own subreddits
- Limitations: Can no longer retrieve deleted content from most threads; limited to showing removal metadata
5. Unddit
Unddit worked by replacing "reddit" with "unddit" in any Reddit URL to see removed comments. Like Reveddit, post-2023 API changes limited its capabilities. It now relies primarily on Pushshift archives (which stopped updating in 2023) and can only show historical data.
- Best for: Historical content from before mid-2023
- Limitations: No new data since Pushshift API changes; cannot recover 2024-2026 deletions
6. Ceddit (Defunct — Alternatives Listed)
Ceddit was the go-to tool for viewing deleted Reddit comments before the 2023 API changes. It is no longer operational. The closest alternatives today are ViewDeletedReddit's comment recovery for deleted comments, and PullPush for programmatic access to archived comment data.
- Ceddit alternatives in 2026: ViewDeletedReddit (paid, multi-archive), PullPush (free, API-based), Wayback Machine (free, full page snapshots)
