Pair target and intent terms with priority exclusions to focus on relevant new Reddit posts. A match is a relevance signal, not a guaranteed buyer.
Built with deliberate trade-offs designed for busy solo founders.
New posts are checked on a 15-minute cadence. Discovery and delivery depend on service availability and scan status; alerts are not instantaneous.
RedRadar scans new top-level post titles and bodies, not comments. This is a scope choice, not a claim that relevant questions never appear in comments.
Target terms alone create overwhelming noise. RedRadar requires both the target product/competitor name and an explicit intent phrase (like 'alternative to' or 'recommendation').
Review matched new posts in your web inbox (15-minute scans, 60-second refresh), up to 10 leads/day. Telegram alerts are currently unavailable; the inbox and trial do not require Telegram.
7-day free trial included with zero card required. Purchase a $15 30-day access pass only when you need continuous monitoring. No recurring traps.
Reddit keyword alerts are useful when you need a repeatable way to find product questions, competitor alternatives, and recommendation threads. Start with a specific product or category term, add an intent phrase, then exclude recruiting, news, or promotional noise. The result is a focused research inbox that still needs human judgment; it is not a promise of qualified buyers or automatic sales.
Common examples include SaaS, developer tools, and founder-focused services: finding Jira alternatives, customer-support recommendations, automation pain points, or early user feedback. Always respect subreddit rules and read the original context before replying.
A brand-only alert often mixes in news, hiring posts, and casual mentions. Combining a target with intent makes alerts closer to conversations where someone is seeking a solution, while exclusions remove obvious noise first.
These are invented teaching inputs, not live scans, real leads, or customer testimonials. Suppose you build a lightweight task tracker and want to research requests for Jira alternatives. The selected intent preset supplies its matching phrases; these are not arbitrary custom intent keywords.
Jiraalternative to / switch fromhiring, press releaseLooking for a cheaper alternative to Jira for our small team.
Match: Jira + alternative to; no exclusion.
We use Jira for planning our next sprint.
No match: target only, no preset intent phrase.
Hiring: help us switch from Jira to another tracker.
Excluded: hiring takes priority, even though target and intent match.
Is there a free alternative to Jira? We may pay once our team grows.
Match: Jira + alternative to. Excluding free would hide this discussion.
Each rule checks exclusions first, then requires at least one target and one preset intent phrase in the title or body. Do not automatically exclude free: trials and budget discussions may still deserve review. Broad exclusions can hide relevant posts; an exclusion in one rule does not veto other independent rules. Later intent classification may filter a match, and results depend on service availability and the 10-lead daily limit. A match does not guarantee a purchase or sale.
