Reddit marketing tool: the monitoring kind, and what a marketing team does with a scored mention

Updated 21 September 2026

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.

Which kind of Reddit marketing tool is Redwatcher?

The monitoring kind. A search for a Reddit marketing tool returns three different products under one name: tools for buying and managing Reddit ads, tools for writing and scheduling posts, and tools for watching what people on Reddit say about your brand, your competitors and the things you sell. Redwatcher does the third and only the third. You name the subreddits, you name the keywords, and it reads every post and comment in those communities, scores each match, and alerts you. You decide what to do with an alert: write a reply yourself, or take it to whoever builds the product.

What does a marketing team do with a scored mention?

Redwatcher's suggestion for a marketing team is to answer the threads scored high, read and file the ones scored in the middle, skip the ones scored low, and let the score decide which is which. A thread scored high is one where somebody is choosing right now, and it goes to whoever answers questions about the product. A thread scored in the middle is one to read and file, because it says what people think of you or of a competitor. Redwatcher keeps a thread scored low out of your alerts, so nobody has to read it, and it still shows in your count on the Stats screen. Redwatcher writes the reason under every score, so the person who picks up the alert knows why it came. Under one thread the reason reads "A buying decision in progress, with the requirements and the budget stated", and that thread scores 94. A thread choosing a replacement for a named competitor scores 88, and a job post that names the brand scores 24 and is skipped, because there is nothing in a job post to answer. The three scores are read from the inbox shown below, captured 31 August 2026.

You set the bar, and you can correct the scoring too. When a score is wrong for your product, you say what was wrong, and it becomes a rule that every later match is judged against. In the example, the thread scored 94 above is corrected to 38: the buyer asked for something under $30 a month, and the example project starts at $100.

How does a marketing team set up Reddit monitoring?

From the website. Give Redwatcher your website address and it proposes the subreddits to watch, the keywords, your competitors and the spellings people use for all three, and checks each subreddit against Reddit as you accept it. A competitor counts as one keyword. Each brand or client is its own project, with its own subreddits, keywords, scoring rules and alert channels, so an agency running several brands keeps them apart, and every plan has unlimited team members.

Where do the alerts go for a marketing team?

To email, Slack, Telegram or a signed webhook, on every plan, and to more than one of them at once. For a team, we suggest a Slack channel per brand: the alert lands where the people who answer already are, with the score, the reasons and the link to the thread. Redwatcher checks every subreddit you track around the clock, multiple times every hour, and sends a match as soon as it clears your bar. Every channel has a test button that sends a real message.

What does Redwatcher not do as Reddit marketing software?

Redwatcher does not run ads, does not schedule or publish posts, does not write replies and does not post them. You write the reply yourself, from your own account, and that is deliberate: posting under your name carries account consequences that have been publicly reported. It watches Reddit only, so if your brief covers other networks too, it handles the Reddit part. Tracking competitors on Reddit covers how to be in a thread without being removed.

What does the monitoring kind cost a marketing team?

Redwatcher costs $29 a month per project for 25 keywords and 25 subreddits, $49 for 50 of each, and $89 for 100 of each, with every feature on every plan. Scoring with the reasons, corrections that become rules, email, Slack, Telegram and webhook alerts, and unlimited team members are all on the $29 plan, and there is no charge per mention. The trial is seven days with no card. Read from redwatcher.com/pricing on 20 September 2026.
