Reddit monitoring tools are good at one thing: telling you a keyword appeared. Our app watches the subreddits and keywords you pick, scores each new thread on how well it fits your product, and drafts a reply in your voice. You edit the draft and post it from your own account, or on Done for you we can post it through our warmed-up accounts.
It's a Reddit monitoring tool built for the step after the alert: deciding which threads deserve an answer, and writing one that fits the subreddit.
Why keyword alerts aren't enough
Founders on Reddit say the same thing about most monitoring tools: the alert is the easy part.
"Trackers are great at finding threads where someone matches your keyword. Theyre useless at telling you if its a real lead or someone venting." u/Significant-Young586 in r/SaaS, April 2026
"the biggest thing I missed wasn't the searching part, it was that I had no way to actually act on what I found" u/mahijendra in r/SaaS, a former GummySearch user, August 2026
So after the alert, the app filters the threads, ranks them and helps you answer.
How it works
- Add your product. Paste your site, and the app reads it and suggests subreddits and keywords. You can also add your own brand and competitor names, plus exclusions for words that only bring noise.
- Review the threads. New matches arrive ranked, each with the reason it matched and a fit score out of 100.
- Answer the good ones. Open a draft, make it yours, post it from your account, and mark it done.
What else it does:
- Drafts replies in your voice. Drafts follow the subreddit's rules and a voice profile built from your own Reddit history. You edit, then post yourself.
- Keeps your account healthy. It tracks karma history and account age and gives new accounts a warm-up plan, so you don't post from an account Reddit's filters will hide.
- Flags rule changes. When a subreddit you watch changes its rules, you hear about it before your next post gets removed.
- Tracks brand mentions. Your brand and competitors get a sentiment label and a weekly share of voice. See Reddit brand monitoring.
- Reports what happened. You get a weekly view of posts, replies, removals and karma gained, with a report you can share.
- Sends alerts where you work. Email, Slack or Telegram, plus a lead list you can export to CSV, so it doubles as a Reddit lead generation tool.
A worked example: one thread, one draft
In an r/micro_saas thread titled "What is the best Reddit/social media monitoring tool to use?" (thread, 13 April 2026), u/ManufacturerSad767 wrote: "Just want to know when someone on Reddit is looking for what I sell without spending hours scrolling."
For a monitoring product, that's someone asking for a tool. The app tags a thread like this as a tool request, shows the keyword that matched and a fit score, and prepares a draft. The example below was written by hand for this page. It isn't a capture from a customer account:
Depends how much noise you can stand. F5Bot is free and emails you when a keyword shows up. If you also want help telling a real buyer from someone venting, you need something that scores the threads. Disclosure: I work on one of those, so take that with salt. Happy to share what I'd set up first.
You would edit it, check the subreddit's rules with the post rule checker, and post it yourself. The draft answers first, names a free alternative, and discloses the relationship.
Reddit monitoring options, compared
Here are four common options next to ours, described from each tool's own site as we read it on 1 November 2026.
| Tool | What it does | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| F5Bot | Free email alerts when a keyword appears on Reddit, Hacker News or Lobsters. Paid tiers add more keywords, AI filtering and Slack. | Anyone who just wants to know when a word shows up |
| Syften | Keyword alerts across Reddit and other communities, with AI filtering and an API. Monitoring only. | Teams watching several communities at once |
| Octolens | Social listening across socials, communities, media and reviews, with an API and webhooks. | Brands tracking mentions everywhere, not just Reddit |
| Brand24 | Full social listening suite with a dedicated Reddit monitoring page. | Marketing teams that need reports across every channel |
| Our app | Watches the subreddits and keywords you choose, ranks each thread by fit, drafts a reply you post yourself or have us post. | SaaS teams who want to answer threads, not just count them |
If an alert is all you need, start with F5Bot or our free Reddit keyword alerts. The full list, with what Reddit users praise and complain about and each tool's published prices, is in the Reddit marketing tools ledger. We also compare Pulse for Reddit, Syften and F5Bot one at a time.
What it never does
- Post or comment from your own Reddit account.
- Vote or send DMs for you.
- Buy accounts, karma or upvotes.
Those shortcuts get accounts banned. They're also why Reddit users have started naming tools when they call out comment spam.
Who it is for
It suits founders and small teams at SaaS companies whose buyers ask for recommendations on Reddit and who want to answer in their own voice. It also fits in-house marketers who already post and want to spend less time scrolling. If you need monitoring across LinkedIn, X, news and review sites, it's a poor fit, because it only watches Reddit. See the pricing page for what each plan watches and how often.
Try it before you sign up
The free Reddit lead finder runs the same search once. Describe what you sell and see recent threads where people are asking for it. You can then turn those keywords into a daily email alert.
Rather we ran it for you?
If you'd rather have a team find the threads, write the replies and manage the accounts, that's our done-for-you Reddit agency.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a Reddit bot?
No. On Starter nothing gets posted without you. The app finds and ranks threads and writes drafts, and you post from your own account. On Done for you you can choose to have us post through our warmed-up accounts instead.
What is the best tool for Reddit monitoring?
It depends on the job. For a free alert, F5Bot or our keyword alerts email is enough. For threads ranked by fit and drafted replies, use our app. For monitoring across many channels, a full social listening suite such as Brand24 or Octolens fits better.
Is Reddit social listening the same as Reddit monitoring?
Mostly. Social listening usually means tracking mentions, sentiment and trends across channels. Monitoring Reddit means watching one platform's threads for keywords and buyers. Our app covers the Reddit part, including brand mentions and competitor share of voice.
Will using it get my account banned?
Reading Reddit doesn't put an account at risk. Posting habits are what get accounts banned: too much self-promotion, new accounts dropping links, coordinated votes. The app helps with the first two by following each subreddit's rules and tracking your account's warm-up. What you post is still your call.
How is this different from F5Bot or Syften?
Those send an alert when a keyword appears, and F5Bot is free. If an alert is all you need, use them. This app is for when you want threads ranked by fit and a draft ready to edit.
Does it work for any subreddit?
It works on public subreddits. It can't read private or banned communities.
Does it give Reddit marketing analytics?
It shows a weekly view of your posts, replies, removals and karma gained, plus brand mention counts by subreddit. It's built for a small team's own Reddit work, not for auditing the whole platform.
