Why you should monitor Reddit
Reddit is where buyers research products, compare alternatives, and complain in public. If people talk about your brand online, the conversation is already happening there.
Find leads before your competitors do
Threads like "what tool do you use for X" are some of the highest-intent conversations on the internet. Reddit monitoring surfaces them the moment they're posted, so you can join while the thread is still live — not three days later when it's already answered.
Protect your reputation
Reddit threads rank on Google and get cited by AI assistants — a negative thread compounds silently for years if nobody responds. Catch complaints and misinformation within minutes and address them before they become the top result for your brand.
Collect unfiltered product feedback
Redditors say what they actually think. Monitoring your brand and category subreddits gives you a continuous stream of honest feedback, feature requests, and bug reports — straight from users who would never fill out a survey.
Track your competitors
See every subreddit discussion where your competitors are mentioned: what users love, what frustrates them, and when someone asks for alternatives. Be the first to respond when a competitor's user starts looking around.

How Reddit monitoring works
Add your keywords & subreddits
Enter your brand, competitors, and topics. Octolens helps you tune each keyword and can track entire subreddits alongside them.
AI filters the Reddit noise
Every post and comment is scored for relevance, sentiment, and intent — so even common-word brand names stay usable.
API
WebhooksEverything you need to track Reddit
A subreddit tracker, Reddit analytics, and real-time mention alerts — built for teams that want Reddit data in their stack, not another dashboard.
Track specific subreddits
Follow entire subreddits where your customers hang out — every post and comment, not just keyword matches. A subreddit activity tracker and keyword monitor in one.
Posts and comments, in minutes
Most tools only catch Reddit posts. Octolens monitors comments too — where most buying questions and complaints actually happen — and surfaces new mentions within 1–2 minutes.
AI relevance scoring
Every Reddit mention is scored for relevance, sentiment, and intent. Track common-word brand names without drowning in noise — only see threads that are actually about you.
Alerts where you work
Get Reddit mention alerts in Slack or email the minute a thread appears — filtered by relevance level, so a high-intent thread never sits unanswered for hours.

Real results from teams using Octolens
"Built on top of the Octolens API, I use Railway as a service to pipe all of the mentions to different channels. Then there's a cron job that does a daily digest for us."
"Wild AI-native onboarding experience. I literally entered zero input other than vercel.com to get my Octolens feed up and giving me mentions."
"A big part of our job is paying attention to what people are saying online - answering questions, correcting misunderstandings, and joining the conversation in real time."
"It's not about replying to everything. It's about showing up in the right conversations and doing it genuinely. Octolens helps us do that at scale."
"Developers tune out advertising, but they do talk online - and that's where our reputation is built."
