Pricing reflects each vendor's published entry tier, retrieved July 2, 2026. Check each vendor's site for current rates. “Acts on mentions” = the tool can draft or manage a reply, not just alert you.
Which tool for which job
Monitor Reddit AND act on what you find (draft + post replies) → RedditMaster
The only tool here with an execution layer: rule-aware AI reply drafting, karma building, and posting — not just alerts.
Free keyword alerts to start with → F5Bot (or RedditMaster's free tools)
F5Bot's free tier emails you on keyword matches; RedditMaster's free Brand Monitor and keyword-alert tools need no signup.
Reddit + Hacker News in Slack → Syften
Purpose-built for dev-community monitoring with Slack delivery from $29.95/mo.
One dashboard across 16 sources (X, news, TikTok, Reddit…) → Brand24
Broadest source coverage — priced accordingly from $199/mo annual, and Reddit-specific workflow is out of scope.
Buyer-intent signals across Reddit + Discord + GitHub + Slack communities → CommunityTracker
12+ community platforms with intent filtering from $39/mo; execution on Reddit still needs a native tool.
A GummySearch replacement → RedditMaster
GummySearch shut down Nov 2025. RedditMaster covers its audience-research core (saved searches, pain-point discovery) and adds the reply/karma execution GummySearch never had.
From $59.99/mo
Purpose-built for Reddit: monitor keywords, brand mentions, and competitor names across every subreddit, surface buyer-intent threads in real time, and reply rule-aware — manually or with an autonomous agent. The only tool on this list that closes the loop from mention → drafted reply → posted response.
Teams that want Reddit done deeply, not as one tab in a broad suite
Syften
From $29.95/mo
Keyword monitoring across Reddit, Hacker News, and other developer communities, with Slack delivery and AI filtering on higher tiers. Monitoring-only: it tells you a mention happened but doesn't help you draft or manage the reply.
Dev-tool companies watching Reddit + Hacker News from Slack
F5Bot
Free tier; paid plans for API/AI alerts
The long-running free option: email alerts when your keywords appear on Reddit, Hacker News, or Lobsters. Now also offers paid tiers with AI semantic alerts, API access, and Slack/Discord delivery. Alert-only — no reply workflow.
Getting a first mention signal at zero cost
CommunityTracker
From $39/mo
Community-intelligence platform for go-to-market teams: monitors Reddit plus Slack, Discord, GitHub, Hacker News, and other communities for buyer-intent and competitor signals, with task-style workflows. Broader than Reddit; lighter on Reddit-specific execution (karma, subreddit rules).
GTM teams tracking intent across 10+ community platforms at once
Brand24
From $199/mo (annual)
General social-listening platform covering Reddit alongside X, news, blogs, TikTok, and reviews, with sentiment scoring and alerting. Enterprise-grade breadth at enterprise-grade pricing — Reddit is one source among sixteen, with no subreddit-level workflow.
Cross-channel brand monitoring where Reddit is one of several sources
Mention
Paid plans
Real-time media monitoring across the web and social, including Reddit. Good alerting and reporting; Reddit coverage isn't community-aware the way a native tool is.
Agencies tracking mentions across many channels at once
Awario
Paid plans
Social listening with Boolean search and sentiment across networks including Reddit. Solid for keyword breadth; Reddit nuance (rules, karma, subreddit fit) is out of scope.
Boolean-heavy keyword monitoring across networks
Reddit native search + saved searches
Free
Reddit's own search plus manual subreddit checks. Free, but no real-time alerts, no sentiment, and no way to monitor many keywords without constant refreshing.
Occasional, low-volume checks on a tight budget
Shut down Nov 2025
The best-known Reddit audience-research tool of its era — shut down on November 30, 2025 after Reddit's commercial API licensing changes. Listed here because many teams are still migrating off it; its saved-search research workflow maps most directly onto Reddit-native monitoring tools.
Nobody anymore — see the migration guide if you're a former user
We make RedditMaster, so treat this as an informed but interested take — we list it first because this page is about Reddit specifically. For broad cross-channel monitoring, a general suite may serve you better; for Reddit depth, a native tool wins. Feature sets change, so verify current capabilities before you commit.
