Reddit monitoring
Know when Reddit talks about you, or your problem.
Set up a monitor for your brand or for the problem you solve, with Reddit as the source. Each run reads only threads that are new since the last one, and groups them by subreddit.
- Brand and keyword monitors
- Grouped by subreddit
- Daily or weekly
About $0.01 to $0.05 a check, paid per lookup from your own key. What it costs

How Reddit monitoring works
Search results, not scraping
Reddit is searched through Google results restricted to reddit.com. A self-hosted install can use Reddit’s official API with its own app credentials instead.
Subreddit and replies
Each thread shows its subreddit, roughly how many comments it has and how old it is.
Only what is new
After the first run, each run looks only at threads newer than the last, so you are never shown the same thread twice.
Intent
For keyword monitors, threads asking for recommendations or alternatives rank first.

Reddit monitoring FAQ
Which communities does it search?
More than 60: Reddit, Quora, Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange sites, DEV, Indie Hackers, Product Hunt, X, LinkedIn, Facebook groups, review sites such as G2, Capterra and Trustpilot, app stores and forums. You pick them per search or per monitor.
How does it search Reddit and Quora?
Through Google search results restricted to each site, and through the free official APIs of Hacker News, GitHub and Stack Exchange. A self-hosted install can also use Reddit’s official API with its own app credentials. OpenReach never works around a site that blocks automated visits.
Does OpenReach post, comment or send messages for me?
No. OpenReach finds people, businesses and conversations and keeps them organised. You reach out yourself, in your own words. That keeps your accounts safe and your outreach honest.
