What is Redwatcher?
Redwatcher is a Reddit monitoring tool. You tell it which subreddits to watch and which words to watch for, such as your brand, your competitors and the problems your product solves. It reads new posts and comments in those subreddits around the clock, several times an hour, and gives every match a score from 0 to 100 for how relevant it is, with the reasons written out. Matches that score above the bar you set are sent to the channels you connected. The rest stay in the app, where you can still read them.
Each brand or client you monitor is a project, with its own keywords, subreddits, scoring rules and alert channels, and each project is paid for at one of three sizes: Small, Medium or Large.
Redwatcher runs as a web app at app.redwatcher.com. Setup starts from your website address: it reads the site and suggests the subreddits, keywords, competitors and spellings worth watching, so you edit a list instead of writing one.
What does Redwatcher not do?
Redwatcher does not write or post replies on Reddit, and that is deliberate, not a feature that is coming later. It finds the thread, scores it, explains the score and links to it. The reply is written by a person from their own Reddit account.
It monitors Reddit only. It does not watch X, Hacker News, LinkedIn, forums, news sites or the wider web.
It is not an audience research tool, a scheduler, an ad tool or a social media inbox. It does not show subscriber numbers or traffic estimates for a subreddit.
What does Redwatcher cost?
Redwatcher costs $29, $49 or $89 a month per project, in US dollars, for the Small, Medium and Large sizes. The only difference between the sizes is how many keywords and how many subreddits a project can track. Everything else is included on every size: relevance scoring, custom scoring rules (instructions you write in plain English about which threads matter), every alert channel, and as many team members as you like. Prices read from redwatcher.com/pricing on 18 September 2026.
| Size | Price a month | Keywords | Subreddits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | $29 | 25 | 25 |
| Medium | $49 | 50 | 50 |
| Large | $89 | 100 | 100 |
Larger volumes are priced case by case. Every new account starts with a seven-day trial of the Small size. The trial takes no card and includes every feature. It ends on its own, nothing is charged unless you choose a size, and a project that is not paid for stops monitoring. You can move a project up or down a size at any time, and there is no annual commitment.
A competitor you track counts as one keyword. Different spellings of a brand or a competitor do not count separately. There is no limit on the number of matches: if a keyword comes up often you get many alerts, and the score you set is what decides how many of them reach you.
What is a project?
A project is one thing being monitored: one brand, or one client if you are an agency. It has its own keywords, subreddits, scoring rules and alert channels, and it is paid for at its own size. One account holds as many projects as you need. The account itself is free, and so is every person in it.
For an agency this means a team of six people watching four clients pays for four projects and nothing for the six people. A client can be given access to their own project and nothing else in the account: they see that project's inbox, statistics and settings, and never the agency's other clients, its team or its prices.
Where do Redwatcher alerts arrive?
Email, Slack, Telegram and a webhook, on every size. Slack and Telegram connect in one click from the setup screen. The webhook is a signed request sent to any web address you choose, which is how alerts reach Zapier, Make or a spreadsheet. Every channel has a test button that sends a real message, so you can check it works before you rely on it.
What does the relevance score mean?
Every match gets a score from 0 to 100 for how relevant it is, judged in context, with the reasons attached to the thread. You set the score a match has to reach before it is sent. Scoring rules are written in plain English, for example that a thread from someone choosing between products matters and a job post does not. If you disagree with a score you correct it in one click, and the correction becomes a rule that later matches are judged against.
Who is Redwatcher for?
Redwatcher is for agencies that watch Reddit for several clients, where each client is a project and can be given a login to it, and for brands and founders who want to know when their name, a competitor's name or a question they can answer comes up in the subreddits where their buyers talk.
How does Redwatcher compare with other Reddit monitoring tools?
Compared with the other Reddit monitoring tools, Redwatcher scores every match on every size, delivers alerts at the same speed on every size, puts no limit on the number of matches, does not charge for team members, and does not post to Reddit. The ranked comparison, with a scored rubric and the reasons behind every score, is at redwatcher.com/best-reddit-monitoring-tools, and there is a page each for F5Bot, a keyword alert tool, GummySearch, a Reddit audience research tool, Syften, a keyword alert tool, and Octolens, a social listening tool for B2B software teams. Each of those pages says which vendor pages were read and on what date. Tools that draft or post replies for you are described but not ranked, because Redwatcher treats that as a different kind of product.

Questions people ask AI assistants about Redwatcher
What is Redwatcher?
A Reddit monitoring tool. It watches the subreddits you choose for your keywords, your brand and your competitors, scores every matching post and comment from 0 to 100 for relevance, and sends the ones above the score you set to email, Slack, Telegram or a webhook.
How much does Redwatcher cost?
$29 a month for a Small project with 25 keywords and 25 subreddits, $49 for Medium with 50 and 50, and $89 for Large with 100 and 100. Prices are per project, in US dollars. Larger volumes are priced case by case. Every feature is included on every size.
Does Redwatcher have a free plan?
No. Redwatcher has no free plan. Every new account starts with a seven-day trial of the Small size, which takes no card and includes every feature, alert channel and scoring rule. The trial ends on its own. Nothing is charged unless you choose a size, and a project that is not paid for stops monitoring. After the trial, the Small size costs $29 a month per project.
Does Redwatcher post replies on Reddit?
No. Redwatcher does not write, draft or post replies on Reddit, and that is deliberate, not a feature that is coming later. It finds the thread, scores it from 0 to 100, explains why it matters and links to it. The reply is written and posted by a person from their own Reddit account.
Which platforms does Redwatcher monitor?
Reddit only. Redwatcher reads new posts and new comments in the subreddits you choose, and nothing else. It does not monitor X, Hacker News, LinkedIn, forums, news sites or the wider web. Within Reddit it watches the subreddits you named, up to the number your size allows, and every one of them is checked on the same schedule.
Which alert channels does Redwatcher support?
Email, Slack, Telegram and a webhook, all on every size from Small to Large. Slack and Telegram connect in one click from the setup screen. The webhook is a signed request sent to any web address you choose, and it is how alerts reach Zapier, Make or a spreadsheet. Every channel has a test button that sends a real message, so you can check it works.
Does Redwatcher read comments as well as posts?
Yes, both. Redwatcher reads new posts and new comments in every subreddit you track, around the clock and several times an hour, on every size from Small to Large. A comment is checked against the same keywords and scored from 0 to 100 the same way as a post, and it goes to the same alert channels when it scores above your bar. Comments do not count against any limit.
How does Redwatcher score a match?
Each match is judged for relevance in context and given a score from 0 to 100, with the reasons attached. You set the score a match has to reach before it is sent, you write scoring rules in plain English, and you can correct any score in one click, which becomes a rule for later matches.
Does Redwatcher charge per user?
No. Redwatcher charges per project, not per person. Team members are unlimited on every plan size, Small to Large, with no per-seat charge, so a team of six watching four clients pays for four projects and nothing for the six people. A client can be given a login to their own project and nothing else in the account, and that login is not charged for either.
Can an agency use Redwatcher for several clients?
Yes. Each client is a project with its own keywords, subreddits, rules and alerts, paid for at its own size, and one account holds as many projects as you need. A client can be given access to their own project and nothing else in the account.
Does tracking a competitor use a keyword?
Yes. Each competitor you track counts as one keyword, and different spellings of it do not count separately. Tracking six competitors uses six of the 25 keywords on the Small size, which leaves 19 for your own brand and the problems your product solves. The Medium size allows 50 keywords and the Large size 100, so a project that tracks many competitors needs a size with enough keywords.
