# Octolens pricing in 2026: what every plan costs, what an extra keyword costs, and why Redwatcher is the better alternative for Reddit

Canonical: https://redwatcher.com/octolens-pricing

**In short**

**Octolens pricing has three plans: Pro at $199 a month for 10 keywords and 15,000 mentions,
Scale at $599 for 40 keywords and 50,000 mentions, and Enterprise at a custom price.** Billed
annually, Pro is $159 a month and Scale $499. **Redwatcher watches Reddit for 25 keywords at $29
a month, scores every match, and has no charge per mention.**

Octolens's prices were read from octolens.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

Octolens is a social listening tool for B2B SaaS teams that watches Reddit, X, LinkedIn and seven
more platforms on its Pro plan. It charges for two things, keywords and mentions, and what you pay
depends mostly on how many keywords you need.

[Redwatcher](/) is a Reddit monitoring tool. Tracks keywords, brand mentions and competitors across
the subreddits you choose, scores every match for relevance, and alerts by email, Slack, Telegram or
webhook around the clock. From $29/month per project.

[Start free](https://app.redwatcher.com/signup) Seven days, no card. From $29 a month after.

**How we checked**

**Read off Octolens's own pricing page on 20 September 2026.**
[octolens.com/pricing](https://octolens.com/pricing): the three plan cards with the billing switch
set both ways, the plan comparison grid cell by cell, the note on extra keywords and mentions, and
the FAQ. We checked the monthly prices against the page's own structured data. We have not used a
paid Octolens plan. We took the three Octolens screenshots below from that page, one on
19 September 2026 and two on 20 September 2026.

## How much does Octolens cost?

Octolens costs $199 a month for Pro and $599 a month for Scale, with Enterprise priced on request,
and paying for a year takes Pro to $159 a month and Scale to $499. Read from

## Why Redwatcher is the better alternative to Octolens

1. **Twenty-five keywords for $29, not ten for $199.** The same 25 keywords on Octolens Pro cost
   $349 a month, and the plan they come with covers nine other platforms whether you need them or
   not.
2. **No charge per mention.** Octolens bills each mention past the plan's quota. Redwatcher sends
   what scores above your bar and counts the rest under Skipped, where you can read it, and none of
   it costs extra.
3. **The same speed on every plan.** Octolens refreshes hourly on Pro, and you have to be on Scale,
   at $599 a month, before it refreshes in real time. Redwatcher checks every subreddit you track around the clock, multiple times every
   hour, on the $29 plan and every plan above it.
4. **A score from 0 to 100, with the reason in a sentence.** The FAQ on Octolens's pricing page
   says its AI gives each mention a high, medium or low relevance score, and does not say why a
   mention gets its band. Redwatcher writes the reason under every thread, and when a score is
   wrong you say what was wrong, and it becomes a rule that later matches are judged against.
5. **A second brand or a second client is a second project at $29.** On Octolens, multiple
   workspaces are listed on the Enterprise plan only, at a custom price, and that card is labelled
   custom monitoring for multi-brand portfolios. On Redwatcher every project has its own keywords,
   subreddits, rules and alert channels, and you pick a plan for each one.

Every thread shows its score, the word that matched is highlighted in the title, and the reasons are underneath. Anything under your bar is not sent, and you can still read it.")

Redwatcher writes the correction into your scoring rules, re-scores the thread, and judges every later match against it.")

Slack and Telegram install in one click, and every channel has a test button that sends a real message.")

Each plan has the same number of subreddits as keywords, and the two larger plans are $49 a month
for 50 and $89 for 100, with every feature on every plan and unlimited team members. Redwatcher
has no plan at $0. Read from

## What does an extra keyword cost on Octolens?

An extra keyword on Octolens costs $10 a month on Pro and $5 a month on Scale. Ten keywords is the
whole Pro allowance, and a brand, three competitors and six problem phrases is already ten.

| Keywords you need | Octolens Pro | Octolens Scale | Redwatcher |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 10 | $199 | $599 | $29 |
| 25 | $349 | $599 | $29 |
| 40 | $499 | $599 | $49 |

| 60 | $699 | $699 | $89 |
| 100 | $1,099 | $899 | $89 |

*Monthly billing, worked out from Octolens's published per-keyword prices. The two Octolens plans
cost the same at sixty keywords, and Scale is the cheaper of the two past that.*

## What does Octolens charge for extra mentions?

Octolens charges $0.013 for each mention past 15,000 on Pro and $0.01 for each past 50,000 on
Scale. Its pricing page says every plan
flexes with your volume, and that you can set a monthly spend cap or turn flex mentions off in
settings. The trial is seven days on Pro features and is capped at 5,000 mentions. Read from [octolens.com/pricing](https://octolens.com/pricing) on 20 September 2026.

## What does Octolens cost if you only need Reddit?

The same $199 a month, because Octolens has no Reddit-only plan and no separate allowance for
Reddit: the grid lists one keyword figure and one mention figure per plan. Redwatcher has no other
platform to share the allowance with: the whole plan goes to the
subreddits you name. Read from [octolens.com/pricing](https://octolens.com/pricing) on
20 September 2026.

## Which one to pick

Redwatcher, if Reddit is the platform you care about. [The Octolens review](/octolens-review)
goes through what $199 buys, and [the Octolens alternative page](/octolens-alternative) has the
two tools row by row. Read from [octolens.com/pricing](https://octolens.com/pricing) on
20 September 2026.

## How do you move from Octolens to Redwatcher?

Copy your keyword list out of Octolens, including any you dropped to stay at ten, and paste it into
Redwatcher. Give it your website address and it proposes the subreddits to watch, then set the
score you want to be alerted above and pick email, Slack, Telegram or a webhook. Run both for the
week of the trial and compare what each one sends before Octolens's next bill.

project, and you can change the plan up or down at any time. Read from octolens.com/pricing and redwatcher.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### Is Octolens free?
Octolens has no plan at $0. Its pricing page offers a seven-day trial of the Pro plan's features,
capped at 5,000 mentions, and after that the plans start at $199 a month, or $159 a month billed
annually. Redwatcher has no plan at $0 either: the trial is seven days with no card,
then $29 a month per project for 25 keywords and 25 subreddits. Read from octolens.com/pricing and redwatcher.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### What is the difference between Octolens Pro and Scale?
Octolens Pro is $199 a month for 10 keywords and 15,000 mentions with an hourly refresh. Scale is
$599 for 40 keywords and 50,000 mentions with real-time refresh, and adds podcasts, newsletters,
news and the web, unlimited data history and priority support. Extra keywords are $10 on Pro and
$5 on Scale. Redwatcher's three plans differ only in the keyword and subreddit counts, 25, 50 or
100, and every feature is on every plan. Read from octolens.com/pricing and redwatcher.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### How many keywords does Octolens include?
Octolens includes 10 keywords on Pro at $199 a month and 40 on Scale at $599, with unlimited
keywords listed on Enterprise at a custom price. Each keyword after the allowance is $10 a month
on Pro and $5 on Scale, so 25 keywords on Pro is $349 a month. Redwatcher includes 25 keywords at

An extra keyword on Octolens costs $10 a month on Pro and $5 a month on Scale, and the two plans

the $89 plan, and 25 is the $29 plan. Read from octolens.com/pricing and redwatcher.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### What happens when you go over Octolens's mention limit?
Octolens keeps collecting mentions past your plan's quota and bills each one at the plan's rate,
$0.013 on Pro and $0.01 on Scale, unless you set a monthly spend cap or turn flex mentions off in
settings. The quota is 15,000 a month on Pro and 50,000 on Scale, across every platform the plan
watches. Redwatcher has no mention quota and no charge per mention. Read from
octolens.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### Does Octolens charge per user?
Octolens lists team seats as unlimited on Pro, Scale and Enterprise, so the bill does not change
with the number of people using it. What changes it is the keyword count, at $10 or $5 a month
each past the allowance, and the mention count past the quota. Redwatcher also has unlimited team
members on every plan, and the only two numbers that change between its plans are the keyword and
subreddit allowances. Read from octolens.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.

### Is Octolens worth $199 a month if you only need Reddit?
Octolens at $199 a month buys ten keywords and 15,000 mentions shared across ten platforms,
refreshed hourly, and there is no cheaper Octolens plan for Reddit alone. If Reddit is the
platform you care about, Redwatcher watches the subreddits you choose for 25 keywords at $29 a
month, scores every match from 0 to 100 with the reasons written out, has no charge per mention,
